how do you know your pilots don't more extensive flight hours than your pilots do? You don't think we have twice as much modern aircraft as you do is just sitting there and does nothing? Every hours, there is flight testing and drill. Like I said, people always said our force suck but in international training and competition, our force always won just like the math/physics Olympics. LOL The only thing we lack is real war experience because we are non-interventionist. You, my friend, didn't fight a real war since the end of WWII.
To tell you the truth, in land combat, t
The US is the only real worthy opponent that can fight us and keep up with us. No one else really has the capacity to deal with the size and production capacity like we do.
You forget about Russia and India. Any one of them will give you pause enough. The PLA is still aiming for complete force mechanization by 2020. That is way way behind US and NATO standards. In fact any NATO brigades will chow any PLA brigades to pieces. For a country of Chinas size 800.000 PLA ground force isnt so much to brag about.
