    Expert’s warning to US Navy on China: Bigger fleet almost always wins

    yes, individual battles make up a war, but pointing out individual battles does not paint the whole picture of the war, except in cases where a single battle was more or less the whole war. the article specifically looked at naval wars and said the larger navy won more naval wars historically...

    Expert’s warning to US Navy on China: Bigger fleet almost always wins

    no shit genius. i had literally never said things like supply dont matter. i asked why you bring up individual battles, as important as they may be, when the article talks about war. yes you can win individual battles, important ones even, the article also said, larger navies are also able to...

    Vietnam president resigns after Communist Party blames him for "violations and wrongdoings"

    Expert’s warning to US Navy on China: Bigger fleet almost always wins

    @jhungary @gambit they are talking about naval wars. not individual battles. why are you guys bringing up battles? yea the us won over japan. but the start of war was meh, with Japan running around in the east pacific however it wished, until us production kicked it and demonstrates exactly...

    Four Mirage 2000 fighters shot down four F-16 Fighting Falcons

    obvious rigged exercise. F-16V are a little hobbled by the fact that taiwan uses old air frames and old engines to power all the new electronics so its sluggish. but it shouldn't be any worse than mirage 2000s thrust to weight. plus its new aesa and electronics should run circles around mirage...

    The difference between Indian jawan and PLA trooper

    you know rotation of troops is what all professional militaries do? but then i don't expect Indians to understand how to run a professional military. i mean if they want to be like imperial japan, where they left their best troops on the front lines until they died, then have barely trained...

    War game suggests Chinese invasion of Taiwan would fail at a huge cost to US, Chinese and Taiwanese militaries

    thank? why? if it wasn't for us interference in the first place, there would be no taiwan problem today. and today is not 1970-80. china could not mount an invasion of taiwan island with any chance of success back then. people often forget that the RoC military was far more powerful and...

    War game suggests Chinese invasion of Taiwan would fail at a huge cost to US, Chinese and Taiwanese militaries

    most serious and realistic war games are not published. those that are is pretty much just propaganda. either for more military funds or to sounds strong. the cnn report doesn't even make sense. in what world does a all out chinese reunification war see RoC only suffer only 3600 military dead...

    Bangladesh Orders Four Ships from China in Fleet Expansion Effort

    what do you mean why? can BD even build 100,000 dwt oil tanker/cargo carriers? and if it can, can it compete in cost?? these arent military ships, these are civilians one, and they mainly compete on cost. this is what the world civilian ship building market in the first half of 2022 looks...

    Russians Urge China To Return Soviet Aircraft Carrier Liaoning Bought From Ukraine

    yea, just politicians doing politician things. that said, its well known that russia is having a ton of problems just trying to refurb adm Kuznetsov. I highly doubt they can build a brand new 65,000 ton carrier, not without massive upgrades to their ship yards anyhow. could maybe build smaller...

    its possible now. not only at indian lifestyles (medium low) but at least at chinese life styles (medium high) china is 90%+ self sufficient in grains and thats with less mechanization that a place like the us. and china supports 1.4 billion people. india, while smaller overall than china...

    Rafale Marine to operate from INS Vikrant (R11):- La Tribune

    i heard the "solution" was to disassemble part of the wings then reassemble them everytime a jet needs to go on deck or go below lol but then, with how often india uses its carriers, this might be a perfectly fine pace for them.

    POLL: Should China donate J-16 strike jets to Russia as foreign aid to counter Anglo hegemony?

    1. 200k is not enough, which is why i said russia should have declared war off the bat. it would have allowed immediate use of all available professional and trained conscripts, the initial 200-300k can go in first but be immediately followed up a at least a few hundred k more over the course of...

    POLL: Should China donate J-16 strike jets to Russia as foreign aid to counter Anglo hegemony?

    russia isnt gonna fall. if Ukraine actual invades russia proper then russia will have to declare war, as crappy as russia's performance has been, ukraine will not be able to handle a russia in a state of total war, especially when they are the ones on the attack. if NATO helps Ukraine to push...

    Serbia shows off Chinese military gear in stark warning to Anglo Saxon hegemony

    what bias? india claimed McMahon Line as their border with china (drawn by the British, never agreed to by any chinese government) refused to negotiate at all, wants the cake and eat it too. they then go and established dozens of military posts miles north of and beyond the McMahon Line...
