It denpens on that nation can counter China's attack or not.

VN can destroy your islands easily and we can counter your attack, too. But as I said: SCS(east sea) is not our important sea route (while its so important to SK-JP-CN- Guam of US), so we wont waste too much our time there unless China carry out a full attack first.

Maybe you can destroy our island,but we can destroy your poor whole country. Donot be so arrogant,your country is very very weak in our eyes,no need to shout like North Korea people.

The dispute is going on as it is needed, China can't swallow islands and Reefs, Rocks of Vietnam.

Be patient,we will see who can win this war in the end ,these islands can not be moved away. This dispute can go on because our leaders do not take it as our priority affair,we have many works to do at home today,so we just play with you occasionally,please cherish this good time.after all,this time will disappear when we are free of our internal affairs someday.

So what? Your funny country is hostile to us and we do not care about your people , it is meaningless for us to talk about friendship,you can keep shouting EXPANSIONISM,but that will change nothing. By the way,considered none of China and Vietnam want to lose its national interest , I am very happy to see us expand our national interest, the curse of Vietnam is our compliment.

We can now see the 6-storey buildings very clearly now. They all look very similar. I suspect the buildings at Yongshu, Subi and Meiji to be more spectacular. The reason is China may just be using these initial islands to check out before putting in more spectacular stuff.

Looking back, it started at Chigua, then Dongmen, Nanxun, Cuarteron. When these were almost done and with the knowledge gained, China went on to a more spectacular reclamation at Yongshu. Now, the speed at Subi is even occurring faster. Meiji is being reclaimed quite quickly too.

Hats off to China.

They look so unreal!

I think they look very very real.

DF-21 testing show the fact that a non-movable aircraft carrier could be hit by smaller quantity of ballistic missiles.

China can just place some unarmed police on those ilands, but still no one has the balls to atack it. At least I can't find anyone, can you?

Are you trolling?

This year, China will have 1st runway in SCS.

Future Fiery Cross Island CG

 

[BoQ77]

Total 6 airstrip as planned, right?

Total 6 airstrip as planned, right?

Yup. 6x artificial islands, each has a runway.

Yup. 6x artificial islands, each has a runway.

So can you guess how many, which type would be deployed to those?

 

[cnleio]

So can you guess how many, which type would be deployed to those?

That's a long runway of 3,300m length ... for example,
1. Russia IL-76 (full load 60-ton) request runway: 1,600m(taking off) & 960m(landing)
2. U.S C-17 (full load 70-ton) request runway: 2,316m(taking off) & 1,060m(landing)
So most China aircrafts can take off and land on this runway ... China can deploy what we want to those.

Early-warning aircraft, Naval J-11 & JH-7 and even H-6 if needed, but for not to stimulate other countries the scale may not be large.

Ok. We wait for the court statement. Then ... maybe we would expand or not our airstrips...
