would that include having it's own military? :angel:

Russia is going to stage a mock invasion of Japan to teach them not to try and steal their islands... :pop: it would be funny of Russia take a page from Korea and name one of these ship Kunashir... :flame:

not the current ones, but the new one india plan to build itself should be equal to what the russian are operating, the Su-33 doesn't really need a very big carrier to work, they just cannot carry as many; it is an operational risk to have fewer planes...

back off China, we found them first! :taz:

WTF, they haven't even technically unveiled 2001... that is the wrong word to use... :police:

New Zealand is a nice country... our allies... :chilli:

they are probably cleaning up the ship for hand over, it still look like **** right now. :unsure:

that dragon, that eagle and that flag is all.... made in china... :mps:

wow, sound like Vietnam want to be China... look like the rest of ASEAN will need to gang up on Vietnam too... :whistle:

I think you miss the point, it isn't saying that China can't afford it, but the navy with it's current budget can't afford it. IF the budget is change, they argument would make sense, but that has not happened and this ship is still being built... understand? either way I don't believe the...

so they are carrying out air manoeuvres over populated area, something tells me that this is not the first time they did this... the project might be further along than we know... :coffee:

it a diversionary test... pressure Vietnam's army so they will tilt their budget away from the navy... let see if the Vietnamese government is steady enough to remain unmoved... :pop:

like how you guys deny OBL was in Pakistan? :pakistan:

no you don't. you have no right to block ship moving in the EEZ, if there is such power, then Singapore can block all Vietnam ship moving toward Malacca too, Singapore obiviously doesn't have such power; your statement only show your ignorance as to what EEZ means. in fact you support China's...

you mean the LCS, those ship are of questionable fighting ability, lacking any real firepower that would threaten a destroyer... they are kinda of an oversize patrol boat, which kinda make it perfect for the job of patrolling the sea route. I wonder what their endurance is...

they don't count how many unit is moving, they count how many unit is not moving, that is how % readiness is calculated, by the % of time each unit can be track in their bases and hence also the % of time they are ineffective as deterrence. if the sub has it's hatch open in the base it is...

but then how can we tell if they are honest about the location? their claim of an article in WP doesn't exist too...

I check the archive, there is no such article in Washington post to match the story. that could very well had been a chinese UAV that failed and crash...

that is of course my personally opinion. or do you have problem reading? however it isn't far from reality, China nuclear readiness is still very low. this can be observe by the percentage of time the nuclear force is out on patrol.

warhead and delivery system are different. the 150-400 figure is based on the number of warhead that can be delivered inter-continentally. I would have expected that china have a few hundred cheap warhead in medium range missile meant for a USSR and/or India war that didn't happen. even if they...
