Sure, if you have better technology or strategy, you could win in spite of enemy's more ship numbers. However I dont see why France would have better strategy in sea warfare, while at least on the paper, chinese currently have some weapons with better technology than that of France.
Nonsense, number not a consideration during WW2 when Japan and US are peer enemies, unless you claim Chinese technology is miles ahead of France, what you said does not make sense.
Why India would involve in this hypotetical war? This is war between France and China right?
Besides, China ships could pass indian ocean which is international sea, then through read sea and egypt.
You do know what does it mean by "NEUTRAL" right? India is brought up because it will be neutral to a hypothetic war between China and France, and being Neutral, they won't allow China to resupply in their port. In case of international law, if China try to resupply in India. Indian government have to intern the Chinese ship. Now, tell me a way China can go around Indian Ocean without resupply in India?
From Chinese military base in Djibouti; Daniel808 has mentioned it above.
What's a naval base in Gulf of Eden have to do with fighting a war off France coast, which is in the Atlantics.
You may as well use Pakistan to resupply if you put your LOG STAT all the way back to Djibouti
By the way, Chinese base in Djibouti is not Chinese, they are a good will base from Djibouti government, French also have a base in Djibouti. In case of a war between France and China, both base will be closed by Djibouti Government as per neutrality agreement. Unless Djibouti government officially align with either French or China.
For skirmish sea warfare, chinese ship will have enough ammunition and missiles to sink French navy in mediteranian sea. Of course if you want to talk about land attack and occupation china will need much more amunition support from her supporting military base in Djibouti, I know china might not be ready for that scenario, however france is much less capable in attacking and occupying chinese land.
Dude, you are dreaming. First of all, fighting a war outside French coast you do not just need to deal with French Navy, it will be a combine effort of French Air/Land force with the Navy. Which mean sustainment, which mean repair, which mean resupply.
Unless you claim China can annihilate French Navy (which have 1 carrier and 13 destroyer with 11 Frigate with assorted OPV in the opening minute, every minute China stay within French Navy AO is working against China.
Ad do you even know where Djibouti is? The only way you can move supply from Djibouti thru the med is thru Suez Canal. China is not that dumb to use it in time of war, it would be like the Battle of Atlantic fought in Panama Canal.
Djibouti is useless in case of a war in that side of the Pacific.
US 3rd fleet with 4 aircraft carriers & 2 LPD fleet + other coalition (Brits, German, France) military projection power will be more than enough to win war in Iraq & Afghanistan, but not with China.
You know how the combination of Chinese submarines + destroyers + fregats + regiments of H-6K + DF-21D + DF-26 in artificial islands is more than enough to destroy whole navy of the coalition in SCS
LOL dream on.
You cannot use missile against Aircraft carrier, Carrier can STAY OFF the range of the missile. And it's laughable when you said H-6K can sink Amreican fleet, by that logic, wouldn't the B-52H stationed in Guam alone can sink the whole Chinese Navy?
You do know anti-ship missile is not a concept developed from ground up from China right? The US developed similar ballistic antiship missile in the 70s, and guess why they are not further developed and in favour of subsonic cruise missile?
Just because China is making it does not make it wonder weapon. Weapon designer knows better than me and you.
You need to get your head check. By the way, you spell frigate wrong.
That is thanks to US military power. Europe alone may not be able to reach that success. And now we are talking about fighting in SCS where there are numerous submarines, destroyers, fregats, anti access weapons there.
Do you think if you go to war with France, US and North America will sit on their arse and laugh at the French?
Why you want to discount it? Do you think China wont use them when war happen with US? In fact this the thing that china rely on to counter US military threat.
If you think the chinese anti access missiles are not real threat, then why until now US military might has no gut to attack China and destroy the illegal artificial islands made by china in SCS? Isn't US a world police while China has violated UN' resolution?
Yeah yeah yeah, you are right, missile see all and hit all, happy?
They are called "MISS"ile for a reason.
