I think SpaceX is demonstrating the viability of the ASBM every time the Falcon 9 makes a landing on the autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS). The ASDS is much smaller than an aircraft carrier.

The ASBM probably does the same thing as SM-6 for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) targets. The missile will require targeting information from an off-board sensor – like an E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.

PAC-3 missed five times in a row against a single Houthi missile in 2017. CM-400AKG is Mach 4 plus and capable of targeting aircraft carriers. Active radar seeker and IIR seeker with target recognition are options. This is a fire-and-forget missile. DF-21D is Mach 10. DF-26 is even faster...

Let's compare modern destroyers France vs China. France has 2 Horizon-class destroyers. Total VLS count 96. China has 9 052D active, 2 sea trial, 2 launched, 6 under construction. China has 6 052C active. China has 2 051C active. Total VLS count of active destroyers: 960. SM-1 was used as...

If the professionalism of the modern French Navy is anything like the modern Royal Navy, I'm not worried.

Stand up to this.

Fill up a boat with PhDs and maybe China might take them in.

This is how I would respond to refugee boats filled with dirty and useless people.

Guangdong, Guangxi and Northern Vietnam (Annam) all used to be part of the same kingdom of Nanyue. During the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, major waves of Han Chinese began to migrate south into Guangdong and Guangxi and intermixed with the native population. Why did they move down there...

Guangxi share a border with Vietnam. Why wouldn't they be similar? Here's the real territory of Vietnam. They are nothing more than a small breakaway province of the Tang Dynasty.

When the Northern Song fell to the Jurchen, the intellectual/military/business elites relocated to the south of China. And because the port city of Guangzhou was one of the largest ports in China, Guangdong became a major cultural and economic center. Guangzhou was also the greatest maritime...

The PLA can roll across the border at ANYTIME and take a road-trip down to Hanoi. Must be fun being situated right next to China.

Can Vietnam even manufacture machine guns, or is that some imported junk from the Soviet Union? If you return fire, China return fire with this.

Use this to gun down Vietnamese fisherman.

Send in the Chinese marines and annex 'Spratly Island' by force. I guarantee Vietnam has no ability to repel such an invasion. China will gain an additional outpost and Vietnam will be thoroughly embarrassed on the international stage.

China will begin to seize Vietnam's islands one by one soon.

I find it strange that the Su-30MKK using AL-31F produces a blue flame afterburner. Ukrainian Su-27 using AL-31F produces an orange flame. The Su-30MK '502' prototype using AL-31F produces an orange flame. The Su-34 using AL-31FM1 produces a blue flame, but there is no evidence that...

The PLA can roll across the border and sack Hanoi at any time.

Please do it. The PLA is waiting for an excuse to roll across the border.
