China missile shifts power in Pacific

[Cambodia Spirit]

The Chinese planes are out of questions. It would be at least 30-50 year before a Chinese plane can approach a carrier group and shoot a missile at a carrier. The surface ship is even less likely. The only option for China is this missile, which has many weak points. And the subs. The subs are actually the one legitimate threat to a US carrier task force.

So what China have now is just a joke!?

Tell me what other air force in the world could attack an Carrier battle group head on with being decimated.

How It Works: China's Antiship Ballistic Missile

Last week, U.S. Navy officials stated to a Japanese media that the Chinese are moving closer to deploying long-range missiles capable of targeting U.S. aircraft carriers. Here's how they work.

The most alarming weapon China is developing to deny the U.S. Navy access to the East and South China seas is the antiship ballistic missile—the first such missile able to change course to hit a moving aircraft carrier. Mounted on a mobile launch vehicle, an ASBM would rise in two stages, reach space and then use fins to maneuver at hypersonic speeds on its way back down. The warhead then glides along a level path to permit synthetic aperture radar, which processes multiple radar pulses to form a single picture to target the carrier. Finally, the warhead’s infrared seeker locates a carrier’s signature and closes in for the kill.

How immature your thinking is ...

We are not too far from China from South Korea you know!

South China Sea is not the battle ground for US if war break out between China vs USA.

Currently, China is moving away from asymmetrical warfare and adopting a more head to head style of weaponry. That is not good. One of the reasons why the Viet Cong won the Vietnam War and why Chinese militia were able to hold back UN forces during the Korean War was because of unpredictable guerrilla tactics.

We see that with the induction of weapons like more fighters, development of stealth bombers, new destroyers, etc, China is currently dropping its sense of unrestricted warfare.

So you are saying your destroyers and on board carrier defenses can detect a supersonic strike fighter (with RCS probably lower than that of the T-50) from 2200 km out?

We ARE in trouble. The back-wards low-tech joke of a US navy has no answer to the mighty Chinese fleet. Please give us a little while to scurry from the Pacific, if you would be so kind.
