The ChiComs have the same problem the Russkies do: a great looking military on paper and in parades, but so much massive amounts of corruption that most of their crap probably won’t work in the field, just like their Russian counterparts.
Their only edge, like the Russians, is all the nukes they’ve been working on secretly in order to win a nuclear first strike. Everything else is as shitty as any system run by communists.
They will learn really fast from Russia example though. In 10 years Chinese military may be different. They have to actually engage in active war military operations though.
Both countries have not been in serious foreign wars with complex logistical deployments. Russia can’t even win a war on its borders.
Says a lot about the US Military in human personnel resources. But this is going to be a huge lesson for many nations afterwards.
I showed this video to my brother, a 20-year Navy NCO vet. He said the marching sailors may march nicely, but they still look like dorks - especially the officers, LOL
Much of Chinas military is designed off of Russia’s as is most of the 3rd world. Im betting they are in some cellar somewhere redesigning or looking for another arms supplier. Russias armor is crap. Those vehicles that are non-tracked have serious tire malfunctions due to importation of Chinese products, their Air Force is being clobbered by shoulder fired SAMs, and the conscripts won’t fight.
To make matters worse, Russia has not heeded history regarding the time of year to invade. Like Hitler they have become bogged down in mud. Their wheeled vehicles are too heavy to go off road and are easy targets of ground forces using the javelin.
Most of all, Putin is a madman. He has the ability to order nuke strikes for any reason his panties are wadded up.
