FREE AND OPEN INDO - PACIFIC: Military chiefs of S. Korea, U.S., Japan vow to strengthen cooperation

[Get Ya Wig Split]

Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii - Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley hosted a trilateral meeting in Hawaii with Chairman of the Republic of Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Won In Choul, and Japanese Chief of Staff, Joint Staff Gen. Koji Yamazaki yesterday.

Outgoing U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Adm. Philip S. Davidson, incoming U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Adm. John C. Aquilino, and U.S. Forces Japan Commander Lt. Gen. Kevin B. Schneider also attended while U.S. Forces Korea Commander Gen. Robert B. Abrams participated via video teleconference.

This is the first in-person meeting between the most senior U.S., ROK, and Japanese military officers since the onset of the global pandemic. The last trilateral discussion was held virtually in November 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The three parties shared their concerns about North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and discussed the importance of promoting a rules-based international order in the region.

Gen. Milley reaffirmed the ironclad commitment of the U.S. to defend both the ROK and Japan and that the U.S. remains prepared to provide extended deterrence guaranteed by the full spectrum of U.S. military capabilities.

Gen. Won underlined the importance of multilateral cooperation among the three countries to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.

Gen. Yamazaki emphasized the importance that U.S., ROK, and Japan work together for North Korea's full compliance in accordance with all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions.

The senior military leaders agreed to continue working together to address mutual security issues and increase multilateral cooperation in order to enhance peace and stability in the region.

A few days ago, they said they would cooperate on vaccines
But what happened? The U.S. bans the export of raw materials for vaccine production to India, leading to a major outbreak of the virus in India

top trolling and stick to the topic

the naives of JMSDF and South Korea between them operate double digit BMD warships

JMSDF has 2 x Izumo Class + 2 x Hyuga Class + 3 x Osumi class flat decks

thats 7 x flat decks

South Korea has 2 x LHD with carrier project launched and will have 2 such carriers

so that means we will have 4 x flat decks with F35B operating between two top naval nations

add RAN 3 x AEGIS + 2 x LHD and we have a very powerful ARG

combined WITHOUT US we have enough assets to ensure China never leaves the South China Sea

in 10 years CV-16 has never left more than 200 miles from Chinese mainland due to lack of confidence and lack of guts

with these assets and co-operation that will be ensured for next 10 years

 

[Mohamed Bin Tughlaq]

Haven't heard from S.Korea for awhile.. Honestly this whole Quad is a farce and publicity stunt. They can't deter China and just releasing media we are confronting China while in truth China is expanding as it wants. It annexed a Philippino Island in 2012

We are afraid, we are afraid that the British aircraft carrier will suddenly leak, so we have to send someone to rescue them

so that means we will have 4 x flat decks with F35B operating between two top naval nations

Even North Korea is NOT afraid

 

[Feng Leng]

They can't even do anything about North Korean nukes and missiles except issue strongly worded statements. Just some fat cats in uniform skimming money from taxpayers and doing jack shit year after year, decade after decade.

 

[Globenim]

Another episode of military fatcats working on their Lockheed Martin advisor and Raytheon think tank pensions with hollow announcements nobody except paid shills seem to ever give a **** about.

then how come Royal Navy Carrier is coming to South China Sea

yet Chinese Carrier which has been operational forever 10 years has always remained close to Chinese shores let alone come to UK waters

 

[hualushui]

must be if it can come to Chinas back yard and conduct freedom of sea operations while China can only sit and watch

This was the Chinese navy's military exercise with the Russian navy in the Baltic Sea.

UK's RN will soon be in the South China sea in 2-3 weeks time with its carrier group.

By the end of this decade the UK will have a CBG of 2 QE class carriers with up to 100 F-35Bs, 4 Type-45 destroyers, 4 Type-26 frigates and 3-4 Astute SSNs. The Type-45s and Astutes are probably the most technologically advanced vessels in their class.

Just UK and Japanese Navies combined will be as powerful as Chinese Navy, forget about bringing in the USN.

@aziqbal

Type-26 Frigate will be the most powerful anti-air warfare frigate on this planet when it comes into service in the latter part of this decade and better than some dedicated destroyers!


In typical configuartion with an anti-air warfare configuration it may hold the following mix of missiles:


1: 48 Sea Ceptor SAMs - 25km range
2: 64 ESSM SAMs with a range of 50km
3. 8 Tomahawk land/ship-attack Cruise missiles


That is an antonishing amount of SAMs for just a frigate. Take out the 8 Tomahawks and you add in 32 extra ESSMs.


You can imagine the virtually impenetrable layer of defence that the 2 RN carriers will have in the air and under the sea when they are protected by 4 Type-45 destroyers, 4 Type-26 frigates and the 3-4 Astute SSNs.
