USA frightens China with super destroyer. China laughs

Laughing means China is not scared of super ships or destroyers. Keep continue to threaten them, do it to every countries.

when a wise man sees a man laughing at his enemy ,he assumes two things.

Either the Man is scared shi*less ,and is bluffing.

or He is overconfident ,and callous.

Both ways the man appears at a disadvantage.

So why don't China concentrate on making explosive boats instead of advance warships? It kind of contradicts their claims about taking on the U.S. Navy. Its possible to sink an American warship but it has to be in port stationary like the USS Cole which is what the Chinese are thinking and would probably be their downfall in that kind of thinking.
That may be the extent of the PLAN leadership's thinking about naval warfare: Attack enemy ships ONLY when they are in peaceful ports taking on supplies so it looks like the PLAN is going the way of the Islamist suicide bombers.

I believe I can speak for all Americans here: We do not care if China is 'scared' or not. In fact, all those threads about ranking the world's militaries we do not care if people here rate US as the worst. We want people to believe that the US military is incompetent, our gear junks, and our tactics and strategies are dated. We want people to laugh at US as hard as they can.

sorry I fail to see how a simple fishing boat loaded with explosives will be able to get close enough to sink the destroyer.
Chinese learned a trick from Al Qaeda.

How these ships are superior in stealth from other stealth designs like Horizon class frigate,La Fayette class frigate, LCS2 Littoral combat ships?
Zumwalt has a new low-band counter stealth radar system; China's stealth strike against these ships(ie J-20) doesn't work.

Very well said. Uncle SAM doesn't have the guts to do anything to China but encouraging lapdog countries to do the dirty work.

can i see the report?

It was quickly withdrawn, of course. Keep in mind that this was before the Internet. The Russians also allegedly made similar predictions, but with higher estimates because they trained the Iraqis and were confident of themselves.

Considering how often you Chinese boys pulled sh1t out of your collective behinds despite the age of the Internet and how often your claims got debunked...:lol:

Face it, kid. Must be tough to see the truth that your Chinese weaponry failed so spectacularly in Desert Storm and now you must strain at denial.

@gambit

And? What about the Tomahawks that failed during Desert Storm?

What about them? No Americans here our stuff is perfect. But the fact that you asked such a question mean you did not understand what I meant when I said how the Chinese weapons failed in Desert Storm. That fail was not so much equipment, although they were inferior to ours, but about doctrines and usage.

Very well said. Uncle SAM doesn't have the guts to do anything to China but encouraging lapdog countries to do the dirty work.
We are militarily in China's backyard. Far more than you can say for China. Change your name to 'Baghdad Bob'. It is more fitting.

USA frightens China with super destroyer. China laughs - English pravda.ru

The U.S. is building "the most advanced" warship in history - DDG-1000 destroyer of Zumwalt class that the Pentagon called a "super-stealth silver bullet." It will be able to move quietly along the coast, including in the shallows, hitting the targets of the enemy with electromagnetic rail guns, deceiving enemy radars.

Americans plan to equip its fleet in the Asia-Pacific region with these ships "from sci-fi movies". It is to the shores of China frightening with the increase of its military where the Pentagon intends to relocate 60% of its ships in 2020 in the framework of the renewed military strategy.

The new destroyers are being built in Maine, the first will be launched as early as 2014, the Associated Press reported. Visiting the local shipyard in April, the head of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Grinert praised the ships, saying that they would be the hope in the future. He listed the main advantages: "invisibility", an advanced sonar system, the incredible striking power and small crew size.
Pentagon chief Leon Panetta, announcing at a regional security conference in Singapore the change to the U.S. military strategy, said that the new high-tech vessel will be a significant part of the U.S. Pacific grouping.

The stealth destroyers could be useful in other regions, such as the Persian Gulf, but the military believe that they will be most beneficial in Asia. The new ships will be able to perform the mission both in the high seas and near the coast. In Asia there are a great number of island States, and China has a long coastline in the Pacific.

Washington is worried that China is actively modernizing its fleet. In particular, the country is working on reliable aircraft carriers, as well as rockets and submarines, because of which the American vessels may be denied access to the strategic sea lanes near the Chinese territory. The United States believes that Beijing intends to prevent the Americans from interfering in the conflict over the disputed territory in the South China Sea or interaction with Taiwan that China considers its own.

Now the U.S. has a great advantage at the high seas, but China by modernizing its fleet is getting an advantage in shallower, coastal waters. The new American stealth destroyers are designed to cope with this problem.

The Chinese ridiculed the American novelty, and critics reminded the U.S. Pentagon of another "super-stealth" project.

However, the Chinese military are not afraid of the science fiction "silver bullets". Officially they did not comment on the U.S. plans. But one of the admirals appeared on local television with an openly mocking commentary. He said that all the talk about the invincibility of the new destroyers is no more than the advertising hype, but really any "high tech" ship of the United States can be easily sunk by a simple fishing boat loaded with explosives.

In the U.S., too, there are enough critics and skeptics, even though they are mostly afraid of the size of budget spending. The construction of one DDG-1000 costs about $3.1 billion - nearly twice the cost of the existing destroyers. If we add the costs of research and development, the price of one destroyer increases to seven billion dollars.

Critics believe that this Pentagon's project is sucking money from the Treasury, while it would be better to spend it on the support of the regular navy. Many security experts have questioned whether the developers are too fixated on the semi-fantastic "technology of the future."

They recall the story of the troubled fighter, fifth-generation stealth F-22 Raptor. It was touted as the most advanced fighter ever built, but, as recently revealed, it is almost dangerous to the pilots. But even earlier these fighters were dropped because of exorbitant price. A successor to the F-22 fighter, jet F-35, was the most expensive project in the history of the Pentagon.

The Navy says that the cost of a destroyer will pay off. They are convinced that the technology incorporated in the new stealth vessel will meet the most current requirements, and in the next decade will be gradually introduced on other vessels.

DDG-1000 destroyers and other stealth vessels of class Zumwalt have the body that leaves almost no trace, they are equipped with an electric motor and the most advanced sonar devices and missiles. These ships are longer and heavier than the current destroyers, but the automated systems installed on them will reduce the crew size by half. In addition, the enemy radar will "see" not a warship, but a boat a little bigger than a small fishing boat.

The destroyers will be equipped with an electromagnetic rail gun that with the help of a magnetic field and electric current will run projectiles at speeds several times faster than the speed of sound.

However, despite these fabulous features, the new destroyer was virtually "drowned" in Congress. Initially the Navy ordered 32 of these vessels, but the number was reduced to 24 and then to seven. Now only three ships are being built.

The costs were rising, so it is no surprise that the project "collapsed," said a security expert at the Technological University of Singapore Richard Bitsinger. "As an idea, DDG-1000 is good, but it was decided to implement too much technology into it that has not yet proven its efficiency," he explains.

Besides China laughs, what else its could do to tries covering up as a looser who can not comparing its Navy's to U.S Navy?

americans have been reduced to just being wind bags :lol:
they are going around threatening everyone and no one gives a damn since America is now a spent and bankrupt empire

well, usa is a tougher enemy. But in respect of fighting vietnamese, my pessimistic estimation is 1 month before the vietcongs surrender!
 
.
Even now America is gaining valuable experiance in counter insurgency warfare. They have a whole new type of vehicle born of this, the MRAP, the Drone, etc. Where is china?

What experiance are they gaining?
 
.
China can't match to US just by making some cheap weapons.
Some real wars are needed to keep our army excellent.
But sadly CPC is becoming coward day by day.
Sometimes I think CCP is even worse than the Qing dynasty.
China has never been a worrior country like our nothern neighbours(russian,manchus,mongols and others).history would repeat itself eventually.
