And I'm saying US was never in any position to sell modern destroyers so your point is moot. Smells like jealousy from you.
lol, I NEVER bring up anything about US selling ship.
That response is direction made against your point of China exercise with other, so your point of Chinese Destroyer is on par if not exceed Western Destroyer. Then I said, if exercise is of any point of contention, then US will be selling their ship left and right. If you think I am talking about US is selling their ship, then your logic is worse than a Middle Schooler, I would put it about 5th grader level
On the other hand, as my other response suggested, US will
NEVER sell their new/current ship unless they are decommissioned, otherwise you are talking about US selling Zumwalt and AB Flight 3 and Ford Class Carrier, because that's what the US Navy have been using now. US WILL sell AEGIS system, and they have already sold it on 11 different ship type outside US. For this Chinese AEGIS have zero customer.
LOL, you bring up something I never explicitly say and then claim I am Jealous.....On the other hand, Jealous is when you don't have something someone else have. so for me to be Jealous, then China must have sold a lot of their new or olld Destroyer when US don't?? Fact check, These are the class of US Destroyer sold to overseas customer
Charles F. Adams Class Destroyer
Royal Australian Navy - 1
Hellenic Navy - 5
Perth Class Destroyer (based on Charles F. Adams Class)
Royal Australian Navy - 3
Lütjens-class destroyer (based on Charles F. Adams Class)
German Navy - 3
Kidd-class destroyer
Republic of China navy - 4
And here is the number and Type of Chinese Destroyer sold to Foreign Customer
NONE
In fact, China only ever sold a few ship to foreign customer as a whole, this is the Capital Ship China export to other country
1 Type 053H2G Frigate - Sri Lanka
3 Type 053H1 - Bangladesh
2 Type 053H1 - Egypt
2 Type 053H1 - Myanmar
4 Type 054A Frigate - Pakistan (2 not yet delivered)
4 F-22P Frigate - Pakistan
3 Type 039 Submarine - Thailand (3 not yet delivered)
8 Type 039 Submarine - Pakistan (8 not yet delivered)
2 type 035G Submarine - Bangladesh
That is the completed list of all capital ship that China made export to third country. That's 29 boat in total. Oliver Hazard Perry Class frigate alone had been exported to 9 different countries with 40 boats exported. So yes, let's talk about who's jealous.
