The newly built runway will become China's unsinkable aircraft carrier

That's the smartest move they can think of

Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia can bomb it. As for us in the Philippines, it is the other way around - they could bomb us from that air base.

I dont understand why philippines is sooo weak militarily compared to its peers in ASEAN , despite it having a far larger GDP than vietnam it still spends less on its defence than vietnam and is ill equiped to deal with even brunei forget about other big countries in ASEAN. Philippines really needs to wake up and fast.

As for china and vietnam comparisms.i dont understand why chinese members here keeo comparing themselves to vietnam.

jeez....everybody knows china is wayyy more powerful and bigger in all fields. They are not in the same league. Its like saying bengladesh will defeat india in a naval conflict. Of course we all know thats impossible. Even the vietnamese members here know they cant defeat china in a naval battle. However i think what vietnamese here are trying to say is that, in the event of a naval battle vietnam will Inflict some damage on china as well. It wont all be a one way street affair. So the chinese should also expect some losses in such an event.

 

[Aepsilons]

China now is being nice to Vietnam and The Phillippines , but don't take China's politeness as weakness, if we go to war in the South China Sea, it won't end well for you Vietnamese.

There will be no war, buddy. Let's calm down on all this war talk.

Vietnam's terrain is perfect for defensive platform, its dense jungles, tropical climate gives the upperhand to defensive forces. Any foreign expeditionary force that goes to Vietnam will suffer significant casualties, given the densely populated environment and hostile terrain. The Vietnamese , for most of their history, have been a defensive civilization, never the one initiating offensives, but rather defensive policies.

If we go back to their feudal history, even during the subjugation of the Cham Kingdom was a defensive policy wherein Vietnam's decision to break Champa and completely incorporate it into the national territory was a response to relentless Cham offensives into the Red River Delta. There are some who would count the Vietnamese annexation of Khmer Krom territories in what is now the southern tip of Vietnam, but Vietnam's expansion was a defensive policy. We have to take into consideration the relentless offensives of Khmer Kings in the past as the ones led by Khmer kings such as Jayavarma, Suryavarman, Indravarma.

Foreign intervention in Vietnam all have resulted in failure. The list include: Cham, Khmer, Siamese, Chinese, Mongol, French, Japanese, American. The Vietnamese may be small, but they are a hardy and martial race. They can , as history has shown, defend their own keep.

chinese destroyed Japanese properties in China.

These Vietcongs ain't gonna do sh!t, they are already too chicken to launch missiles at our oil rig and an attack on our island is a declaration of war and shall be answered with total annihilation by our forces. It does not matter whether our massive number of tanks are scattered across the vast China land. We have ever increasing warm ties with Russia and that's not gonna change in the foreseeable future. Therefor i see no problem sending more tanks and steamroll that jungle after we wipe them out with our rockets first. Japan learned the hard way after what happened to Pearl Harbor.

If Vietcongs like to end up like Japan, just blow up our island , go ahead. We have heard plenty of times already of how you guys view Chinese soldiers are pussies and you guys are extremely tough. Why not show it rather than bragging at PDF?

hey, chinese is aggressive.

The sentence "Foreign intervention in Vietnam all have resulted in failure" is true for all the countries in the world that are independent. So it really meant nothing.

It illustrates the Vietnamese ability to defend their own interests. To the American soldiers who came to Vietnam, I'm sure that they did not consider them a threat at first, given their physical size compared to the average Caucasian-American or African-American that served in the US Armed Forces. One wouldn't have given them a thought of being capable of inflicting so much damage to the US forces, who had technological and industrial superiority. Yet they achieved their objectives when they reunified both North and South Vietnam by 1974.

They then also denied the Chinese PLA their strategic objective in the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War. Inflicting heavy losses on Chinese soldiers.

Vietnam soldiers have the belief in their Righteous, the belief and support of all people. That belief is so strong that a single soldier could keep a battallion of US overnight from overwhelming him with an AK.

As their army name "People's Army" means by true meaning "Army of People"

Corruption and the military is politicized. The politicians care more of their own well-being that some have properties in America, probably as a location to escape the Philippines when war comes here.

they were not fighting a boxing match, i dont think physical size mattered much, on the other hand, US was fighting on foreign soil, all the way across the pacific.

Oh, one Vietcong takes on a battalion of US soldiers with AK? could you explain how Vietnam lost way more soldiers then?

Yes, Jungle is all perfect and good, but like I said many times, in a modern conflict, we have the ability to destroy their assests (airport, sub base etc) with waves of precision strike with SRBM, Cruise missile, Drone strike, air strike. with out sending a single soldier into Vietnam. they can still swim to spartly with AKs, not much else they can do.

Dude, haven't you learned anything about the Chinese yet? You'd be surprised what they can do. Imagine they dig 400 meters and make a sprawling military base, good enough to accommodate 300,000 marines - then surely you'd shit in your pants and come up with some alternative 'assessment'!

I think there may be several dozen fisherfolk families there. Perhaps a company (or two) of PLA, or PLAN Marines living in the island. As for air defense , air patrol presence, perhaps a squadron or so, nothing more. This island serves as a command and control nexus for them, but it cannot handle any more troop presence due to its size. Due to its size, it cannot be used as a launching pad for an invasion to any country in Southeast Asia; it would simply be noticed via reconnaissance platforms. And would be susceptible to a preliminary surgical airstrike.

I don't think they PLA Military Command would be as so unwise to use this island as a launching pad. It serves as a reconnaissance nexus for them.

In history, we never like to expand our territories to the North & East, even we successfully occupied your Nanning in 1075, we still withdrew after that. So u can keep blah blah abt ur air strip in Paracel, we simply dont care.

If u want to test our real power, then send men to Laos-Camb to fight wt our troops if u have the guts. There r abt 70,000 VN troops in Laos now

China had 1.5 million troops along the Sino-Soviet border. Vietnam never faced the full force of the PLA. But this time they will.

China has released the first high-resolution photographs of a newly built runway on a disputed island in the South China Sea.

"The newly built runway will become China's unsinkable aircraft carrier because it will provide an ideal take-off and landing base for the People's Liberation Army naval air force," said Shanghai-based military expert Ni Lexiong ."

Well this Island is perfect for Small Air Force base but there should be first Air Defense system deployed here
