And if you think that just because the J-20 is in flight testing condition that mean the PLAAF is the equal of the USAF? Or that just because the PLA modernized it is the equal of the US Army? Of that just because the PLAN built a few ships it is the equal of the USN? Do you really believe that the US needed that alliance to defeat Iraq? The overwhelming bulk of that alliance was the US. Sorry if I offend any US ally here but without that alliance, it would have taken US an extra week and cost a few more US casualties but the outcome would be no different than what we know of it today.
You can lay off that 'thermonuclear' nonsense because if China ever use nukes, it will be end of China.
The lesson you should have learned is that despite the use of ballistic missiles, NEITHER side gained any long term tactical and strategic advantage over the other. Why? Because despite missiles that destroyed city blocks, bridges, airfields, and what-nots, neither side managed to militarily cripple the other, and as long as that parity existed, ballistic missiles effectively failed.
Then why does China bother to get an aircraft carrier? Is that how you believe the PLA's leadership thinks about response to threat? Global annihilation?
Clue for you: The fact that the PLA modernized means China will do everything militarily necessary to defeat any opponent unless said opponent uses nuclear weapons. That mean the PLA will allow itself to be defeated and China's leadership would rather submit to concession than to plunge the world into a nuclear war.
You are talking like a typical keyboard warrior.
I still don't really know why Chinese here hold high regards to their Purposed "Missile" Capability.
1.) Missile don't call
MISS-ile for nothing, even with high technological advancement, chances of it getting to hit a target is slim. People look on TV and see the Missile hit it's target on Live TV keep exhaling and say "What an achievement" what they did not see is the once or twice or even more, that miss before. Being on the front row seat, I know for a fact that how frustrating when you expect your missile to hit instead it misses, worse, if it hits you.
2.) In fact almost all warfare after the invention of flying (or Flight) told us Air Power Alone does not stop nothing.
WW2 we have Battle of Britain and Day/Night Bombing in Europe. Did it subdue Britain and Germany??
We have Fire bombing in Japan too, does that alone subdue the Japanese??
We have total air control during Korea and Vietnam war. Does that do the job?
We have Missile/Air War with Yugoslav and Serbia, did we not need the UN Peacekeeper then??
We have Hezebella firing Rocket/Mortar/Missile into Israel almost everyday, did it change anything regarding the situation??
And while Wholegrain compare the Useless lob-sided victory between Iraq and UN coalition, he go in deep and compare the 2 "backward" country and claim how missile is useful.......I am really puzzled.
So when China decided to launch their missile, Japan supposed to be a Retarded, backward opponent and simply just let China rain down missile on them?? Is it what Chinese really expected??
3.) He seems to forget one point, if their 2nd Artillery Corp (Missile Branch) are that almighty. Why do they need conventional weapon then??
Put into a fact that he almost outrightly discounting how many missile they can literally make and make the number toward "Infinity" so what if CHina ran out of Missile? Can they magically appear in their arsenal??
Well, I guess if this is what those PLA general think, heck, we should not be worry about China as a threat afterall
Here is why and it is very strange 'logic'.
- You made a comment (post 207).
- I said nothing about it.
Ergo: I must have seen something wrong with it but because you and I are supposedly former military service members, I kept silent about your errors, whatever he imagine them to be.
The Chinese members here are so used to yanking each other in a mutual admiration society circle jerk that they expect others to do the same and when they do not see that rather bizarre behavior in other people, there must be something wrong with those other people.
lol, he probably is thinking about some sort of inter-national or inter-agency conspiracy
RIGHT HERE IN PDF
Set aside how he got not
A SINGLE point to challenge me in this manner, he go so deep and think since me and you are professional, we are conspire with each other regardless of our origin, our branch of service and our service history. What he claim is since our title is the same, then we are basically covering for one another and wash each other hands.
So to be fair, if such conspiracy do exist, should it be the one who create this title that create this conspiracy in the first place? Since both of us cannot link the title "Professional" to ourselves willy-nilly...
Ergo, he may not know about it yet (It will take quite a few moment for his brain to digest) is that he is actually accusing Webmaster and this very forum of create said Conspiracy......
I wonder why he still keep posting
This is my conclusion. And the only way it will ever make sense.
