US DoD Report on Chinese Military Power 2014

[A Very Serious Cat]

Spoiler

Who knows how many more underground great walls they have

Japan

About as legit as a Chinese survey of the US army.

Sounds good their aim might not be so exact mainland is safe, from my calculations all attacks would land on Alaska far from the mainland. I hope Palin can maintain the defenses. :icon_chee

...not sure if serious. Also, you do realize that "army" is just one branch of the "military".

 

[lock203]

China power is in their manufacturing and exports, they can just stop sending us crap they make and that would hurt us more than their military could ever hope to.

It would also destroy China. USSR vs USA was Nuclear Mutual Destruction, China vs US is an economical one.

I doubt the US would reveal what it really knows about a competitor.

Deception is part of the art of war.

 

[GhostZ06]

They seem to not know much about solid fuel rockets, also appear to be trying to get off the Russian tit.


But we already know that HQ-9 missile system is a total knock off of the S-300PMU

S-300pmu



HQ-9

 

[Marimbondo]

The have a huge army, but its hard to project a huge force. They would need supplies for all those soldiers, if their supply lines were destroyed they would be screwed.

Who needs crops when you can eat dogs, cockroaches, locusts and in a last resort human beings.

i can't believe they still operate these sack of shit bombers

US still operates B-52 after 5 decades. Besides, it's not like they haven't modernized the fleet. They have stand-off precision strike capabilities that allows them to fire precision guided munitions hundreds of kilometers away from their targets. A squadron of these bombers flying towards a carrier with long range anti-ship missiles is a scary thought.

Not exactly. HQ-9 is a much more compact missile. I had similar thoughts too, until I read a more thorough article on it when Turkey bought the system.

 

[AgonyandIrony]

Would a war with China be incredibly good for the US? If manufacturing from China was cut off it would create more localized industry, not to mention the money we owe China wouldn't need to be paid.

 

[7437]

Just imagine what their wartime manufacturing capacity would be.

Not only do they have so many factories, but they could literally chain their workers to the lines.

that will bring up the quality.

if you assume that a carrier is totally defenseless and alone yeah. otherwise, meh.

Just as a carrier is protected by its escorts, these bombers are unlikely to be without protection from fighter jets. A saturated attack is serious business, especially if in a combined arms operation with submarines.

Not trying to be a dick here, but you don't think f-22s would blow them the fuck up from miles away?

And b-52s are still badass, you need to learn your shit before posting this retarded nonsense.
