no . you stuff is not . generally the US makes a major leap in military tech then a few years later china and russia will bring out a system specifically designed to counter that .
the east has always been chasing . however they are becoming increasingly good at it . hence why they have been stealing our tech and developing a counter system before our new systems even enter service .
hence why they are now becoming more and more dangerous .

The military also said the carrier killer was a threat even though it didn’t exist until recently. The people who write these articles like to fear monger.
[/quote] these are not "articles " they are government reports issue by analysts , like the one i posted to you earlier .

[/quote] no , it wasnt public knowledge until recently . china does NOT publish in any form its future weapons until they are far into development .
they have not even confirmed the creation of the 3 new carriers however we know from leaked reports that they do exist and satellite images of what is believed to be one under construction .

Nope by 2020 they plan to have 8 of them you are flat out wrong.
[/quote] incrorrect , 4 were planned , 2 which are already in service are old and out of date . and 2 more will enter service in 2020 . planned to have the ageis system , as well as a rail gun etc

[/quote] no . they plan to have 8 destroyers using the agies system 2 new destroyers the other are refits on old destroyers .
this being on the Kongō-class and the Atago-class
the two new ones are atago classes

Yeah sure, i guess we just have troops there for nothing then.
[/quote] they are there as a defence force , under agreement to defend the territory in which they’re stationed . they are not there for an offensive purpose . should a full combat ready task force be needed as it would be . one would be deployed from the states .
you have a QRF force in asia which would be first to respond but this is to help bolster any ally until your full task force arrives .

How do they look poor? Can you explain?
[/quote] they are last gen ships . commissioned in 2007 .
read the page i posted about them .
the two new ones i suspect will be world class however . but only two .
[quote=“SirWarriant, post:8214, topic:21032”]
And vice versa.
[/quote] indeed . but china would likely strike first giving them that edge …and well they have a fuck tone more .
china would look to knock out taiwan defensive bite in the first few hours much like we did with iraq , targeting their main military instillations .
and special forces being landed .
[quote=“SirWarriant, post:8214, topic:21032”]
landing troops there has always been out of the question for them.
[/quote] has until recently . they could do it now , just .
as i said above china would look to knock out most of taiwans defences before moving any troops in .
they wouldnt just sally fourth into taiwans guns , it would be a mess for the chinks if they did . although they have the men to lose .
china has 400k men in that region ready to go at pretty short notice .

how ever its a lot more extreme in China, they send thugs to your house and beat the living fuck of out of you if you don’t leave.
[/quote] right i can see the tad bit of us propagandist in that . of course they send people round to kick you out if you dont leave . thats the process in any country . bailiffs come and force you out .
but to be honest i dont give a fuck about their domestic issues . they’re horrendous . im completely in agreement with you on that .
[quote=“SirWarriant, post:8215, topic:21032”]
First off we have bases in many of these countries there fore our soliders would be involved like it or not
[/quote] bit like they were gonna be involved in ukraine like it or not in accord to the treaty you signed to protect ukraine .
didnt get involved in that though did you .
[quote=“SirWarriant, post:8215, topic:21032”]
That is a very last resort extreme option. I doubt any country would use nukes unless they were on the brink of being completely taken over.
[/quote] of course it is but the fear of it keeps the major powers directly fighting each other . proxy wars will be the thing of the future as they are already
