china is the most industrialized nation on earth bar none. If china is left with 10% of its airforce after a taiwan scenario and india takes advantage... well okay, so they enjoy initial success,... then what? they're 100 km into china with their supply lines through the world's highest...

056 is certainly a possibility, though small it comes in anti-sub variants which would be very useful for anti-sub work closer to pakistani shores and can defend itself against other ships if needed. overall pakistan, i think, should be aiming mostly for 054 sized frigates, it's a combination of...

there hasnt been a total war among great powers since ww2. so its not saying much. china lost to vietnam the same way the us lost to vietnam, that is they won every battle, wreck everything in vietnam then left. however there is a difference between the usand china in their wars on vietnam in...

lol,"fret" china's too busy winning. while india cries.

No, 2nd arty or now known as rocket force(which handles china's nuclear weapons) has its budget as a part of the normal military budget. they are just under 10% of the overall budget.

china literally owned north vietnam for about 1000 years.

I think this is a response to the chinese rule change that the chinese coast guard can now fire if needed.

no chance pakistan gets the 055. they're like a billion+ us dollars each, PLA prices, obviously much higher for everyone else if its even available for export. and it doesnt even make sense for pakistan anyways, it very long ranged but that's not needed.

you mean the us with all its machines guns and airpower couldn't defeat a bunch of people rushing at them in the korean war? the same tactics that hasn't worked since ww1? never mind that at the start of the conflict the PVA was actually outnumbered.

its also a coalition thats all talk and no action. japan literally just signed a FTA with china.

you're decades late on the news, both us and china has unmanned old jets for ages now. neither of them are good enough to be a robot wingman yet, they are mostly used for target drones and suicide attacks.

its far too volatile for a company to use and not accepted in enough places. most companies are not in the business of currency speculation and desire currency stability, this is why USD is prefered. Plans are done yearly and you can't have your currency roller coaster up and down 50% a year

india dont win medals at all lol and you say "better" lololololol cricket? hahahah yea so main stream im sure everyone outside of the british and their former colonies watch it. tennis? what indian has won a major open? Li Na is a double grandslam winner chinese mens football team is trash...

chinese R&D is generally in another budget separate from the military. this is also one of the reason the west cries that china is somehow hiding its spending and why their military estimates for china is always 1.5x official chinese numbers, never mind that actual war spending (think iraq...

that entirely depends. the UN is just a deal making place for the great powers. yes the US/russia could still do things to a certain extent unilaterally but not anything it wants, and without a UN agreement,it could very well face counter-actions from the other great powers, see syria. If...

simple, the us is still richer per person and china is not a immigration country. getting a chinese green card is absurdly difficult, getting chinese citizenship even if marrying a chinese person is damn near impossible.

market size, not population size is what's important, china is diversifying away from australia and in areas like coal and iron ore no country in the world can replace china, but now china is exploring other locations that can provide. and the other members of the 5 eyes are simply too happy to...

that 36.2 percent figure is literally cherry picking. its the military budget as a % of central government spending. that is, it completely excludes all other government spending ie:providence government and local government spending What it tells you is that the indian central government...

that's funny coming from an indian, china is regularly top 2-3 in the olympics. china has won more golds in a single type of sport in one olympic than india has golds from every olympics ever.

" around 4.5 kilometres inside of the de facto border on the Indian side " so the indians expect me to believe that china built an entire village and is continuing to build that village when the land is controlled by india? did the indians give the okay or do they have no idea what de facto means?
