As I have stated for the last 14 years, this is something that we need to take seriously and stop feeding.
FYI, the Chinese Navy has been busy.
I have a question ... Can the chineese aircraft carrier do jumping jacks or is it only good at swats?
I think squats are possible.
Know that splashes are better.
yep ... good possibility the chinese blow themselves up. They are certainly careless and cairful. Those islamics like thing that go BOOM!
Is their deck-crew color code the same as ours?
It’s time for Japan to abolish the article 9 of their constitution, time to re-arm, make nuke-tipped balistic missiles, build at least 15 JDS Izumo’s and real Ford-class aircraft carriers, make their own F-35, F-35B and F-35C variants, arm their submarines with nukes, do something to scare the rising dragon!
Yes, the Chicoms want a place at the table, and if they can't get it, they will invade Formosa. [Yes, I know].
Odd, how the boys in Peking are scaring the Japanese. Why would anyone want to resurrect the Bushido/kamikaze Japan of the 1930s...with nukes? [Imho, a deliverable nuke within a month]
We do live in interesting times...

I think they are replicating US carried deck operations as close as they can. So I think they are very similar in terms of their codes.
Now, right now they are STOBAR operations, but they plan to get to CATOBAR, and they plan to ultimately have the cats and then nuclear propulsion.
People underestimate them and scoff at them at our own peril. They are serious about a long term commitment to trying to level the playing field and we need to use our capabilities to:
1) Stay ahead.
2) Stop feeding their system with the capital that allows them to do this.
And to you too my FRiend.
Hope you and yours have had a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Year...and that that His blessings are with you and yours throughout the entire year.
Yes...interesting times indeed.
Can the Flanker get off the deck with any type of weapons load yet?
Does Japan have any “Long Lance” torpedoes left?
Right now on a scale of one to ten. Our own government 10, Muslims 9, Chinese three to three and a half. Just my opinion based on the US gravy train. Yea we owe them debt, but we also are the cash cow which is probably what Jeff believes needs to be cut off. If true a great many US companies need to change their business model. Wonder how long it would take US manufacturers to tool up to replace the volume of goods we get from China?
Japan has developed air launch XASM-3 “Hello China!” hypersonic stealth anti-ship aircraft carrier killer impossible to stop!
Probably not as long as it would take us to tool up for defense needs once China decides it's ready for war.
Yes...the SU-33 was designed principally as an air-superiority fighter and carried mainly A2A loads off of the Russian carrier, but the Chinese are using them as true strike fighters and can carry A2A and A2G.
Their new manufacture J-15 uses lighter composites, better avionics, AESA radar, etc. and they can get into the air with a decent load. They are also doing buddy stores so they can refuel after take-off to further increase the load they can carry.
Considering they hold several TRILLION dollars of U.S. debt and own quite a bit of real estate in the U.S. would we really try and stop them? Not if they can (and they can!) crash our currency and plunge the U.S. into a deep depression from which it would take decades to recover.
The Chinese are smart that way. Sun Tsu's "Art of War" is a very interesting read and highlights the Chinese's long-term view of the world as they want to shape it.......
