‘Sinking A US Aircraft Carrier’ – Beijing Conducts Massive Military Drills In South China Sea To Ward-Off US Navy

. .
Can a US carrier be Sunk? Why not! But then consequences could be very grave for the attacking country. This would be crossing the redline for USA and possibly lead to nuclear exchange. Remember there are almost 3000-4000 sailors/officers on board, losing them is a huge loss.
 
.
And the Iraqi Army.


Thanks.


Could not find any.


Actually, no.


No need. The VKS is simply too shitty.


When was the last time that happened?


When was the last time that happened?


Yes, they will have to be sitting, not moving, in order for the Chinese missiles to work. Got it...
Can you guys fight a proxy war in some weak third world country, don't want no bombs falling in California.
 
. .
We are not triggered. When we saw how Xi started that slow walk away from his B/F Poutine, we knew that your PLA will remain second place for a while still.
Huh, a coward who just talk and do no action is suddenly better than Xi would promised a no limit 'friendship' while continue buying Russian oil in the hundreds of billions. And that equates to 'walking away'? You cowards didn't even defend Ukraine, so stop justifying your cowardice and fear for Putin using us as an excuse. Fcking pathetic supapowa... Lol

China is reportedly developing an advanced artificial intelligence system that could turn low-cost commercial satellites already orbiting the Earth into potent spy platforms. Reports suggest that it may have a success rate roughly seven times greater than existing technology.

This system is being developed by Chinese military researchers, who say that it is capable of tracking moving objects as small as a car with extraordinary precision, reported Chinese media.
The challenge of distinguishing a target via satellite footage was illustrated in 2020 when a Chinese space company released a video clip taken by Jilin-1, a small satellite. The satellite was presumably pursuing a cruising fighter jet from an altitude of almost 500km (310 miles).

Changguang Satellite, the manufacturer of the Jilin-1 Satellite, released that footage, which was extensively shared on Chinese social media platforms. A fighter plane can be seen flying over the city in the video. The company also put a caption beneath the video, allowing internet users to identify the fighter’s type.

China’s satellite apparently captured high-speed flying fighter
Many internet users speculated that the fighter jet was most likely the US-made F-22 stealth fighter. Its horizontal tail and wing were similar to those of the F-22 fighter, leading to the assumption. This entire predicament was ostensibly the catalyst for the development of new technology. The plane in the video was approximately 20 meters (65 feet) in length.


The commercial satellite’s camera, which has a resolution of around 1-meter, would only produce a few pixels of the small target. It is even more difficult to recognize an object when there are fewer details in the image.
Since each frame of the satellite footage encompassed more than 10 square kilometers, a small target like a car could fade into the background or be confused with other cars. This will probably make tracking its path from orbit virtually impossible.

The Chinese team claimed that its new AI technology had attained 95% precision in finding a small object in the videos recorded by Jilin-1, with a success rate approximately seven times greater than existing technology.
Lin Cunbao, a researcher from the People’s Liberation Army’s Space Engineering University in Beijing, and his colleagues made these claims.

The Issue With Existing Technology

Jilin-1 was China’s first commercial Earth observation satellite. It was launched on 7 October 2015. The Jilin-1 weighed less than 100kg, compared to standard spy satellites that carry a large telescope (220 pounds). It orbits the Earth at a low altitude, which allows it to achieve higher resolution. However, it can only stay over an area for a short time.
After the first Jilin satellite was launched, approximately 40 more joined the family to establish a global monitoring network capable of detecting a wide range of signals, from visible light to heat traces, at practically any time, anyplace.
In the near future, the constellation is projected to be expanded to 138 satellites, allowing for high-resolution imagery and considerable commercial service. Despite their strengths, Lin claims that most commercial satellites would be unable to pursue a small moving target due to technical limitations.

A satellite video stream, which typically records roughly 15 frames per second, has a far lower resolution than a motionless picture taken by the same camera. Due to the obvious satellite’s high speed, practically everything in the video is moving, such as buildings and their shadows, leaving standard technologies built to identify motion against a fixed landscape less efficient.
The flexibility of vehicles on the ground to stop unexpectedly, make a quick turn, or move under a bridge or through a tunnel adds more complexity to the process. According to the researchers, even a well-trained AI program could lose track of its subject if half or all of an object vanishes.

How Will The New Technology Work?

Upon losing the target, the AI used to conclude it had got it wrong and input the negative information into the learning process, which would drastically lower its overall effectiveness.
Lin’s team claimed to have created a more trustworthy AI based on a traditional machine learning algorithm that had only obtained about 14% success in analyzing satellite video prior to the team’s improvements.
Additionally, When the target was temporarily hidden in the new iteration, the machine did not second-guess itself. Rather, based on previous experience, it would predict the target’s possible position and resume tracking along the path it anticipated the target would travel. The Chinese researchers claimed that the new technology could reclaim the target as soon as it resurfaced as a result of this system modification.

File Image: Chinese Space Station
Currently, visual data from the satellite must be relayed to a ground station or communication relay satellite nearby and analyzed by a powerful computer, resulting in a considerable time delay if the target is on the other side of the planet.
According to academics working in these initiatives, some new Chinese Earth observation satellites deployed in recent years contain processors that may be loaded with the newest AI algorithm to autonomously detect and track moving targets in real-time without any ground support.
China has made significant progress in space in recent years and is already working on other initiatives to broadcast high-definition video from orbit.
As previously reported by EurAsian Times, China will soon launch the Luojia-3 01 satellite which will test a novel technology that might provide smartphone users reasonably close access to high-definition cameras in space.

It will be even more easier to spot and track the movements of USA carriers and other naval assets as they move so much slower than F-22 Raptors.

Any naval assets of enemies of China can be so easily tracked and targetted for the DF-21s DF-26 and supersonic and hypersonic AShCMs to burn into and keep the sailors eternally young. Be those assets be on surface of water, and very likely, under the surface as well.

And China rest assured that USA protection cannot defend against a handful of subsonic drones and missiles in Saudi Arabia cannot defend against Chinese supersonic and hypersonic missiles.

Yet another immature " sink a US Carrier" thread. No Carrier, US or Chinese is invincible. Does this poster even realize that once there is an attack on a USN Carrier, that country has just declared open war? What do you think the US will do say in the hours or days after that? Do you think there will be no retaliation?? war between two nuclear powers will escalate quickly. Think about that before you post another jingoistic, childish thread, will ya? It is abundantly clear you have never seen combat in your life, kiddo

Don't worry about that. Because when China has decided to attack a USN carrier, both countries have already have doing some nuclear exchange.

Can a US carrier be Sunk? Why not! But then consequences could be very grave for the attacking country. This would be crossing the redline for USA and possibly lead to nuclear exchange. Remember there are almost 3000-4000 sailors/officers on board, losing them is a huge loss.

You're weird. If China is attacking a USN carrier, then both countries have already have in a direct war. At that time, China doesn't need to worry about nuclear exchange with US anymore, because it is already happen.

But don't worry. Like old people said, Rich men have weaker resolve to die than poor men. And both US and China are the richest men on Earth. So they won't have enough resolve to see their industrial / economy power to be destroyed in a nuclear war. It is different to today Russia. Russia is a poor man. So they will have bigger resolve than US to brace the nuclear holocaust than US.

For years they went around saying the ocean is a big place and their carriers and ships can roam about and hide.

Then slowly it sunk into their heads China got lots of drones.

A high-altitude, long-endurance drone that can fly for around 20 hours and reach top speeds of 700 kilometers an hour (435 miles an hour) was one of the flying gadgets unveiled at Airshow China 2021 in the southern city of Zhuhai on Tuesday.
Developed by Aerospace CH UAV Co., the CH-6 drone is aimed at high-end arms use while its long flying range means it could be used for a variety of military and civilian missions.
It can also carry out anti-submarine missions, maritime patrols, early warning missions and close-range air support, China’s Global Times said.


China Successfully Tests Solar-Powered Drone Capable of Being Airborne for Months​

China successfully tested its solar-powered Morning Star drone supposedly capable of being airborne for months at a time, according to Business Insider.
The Developer Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) had already test-flown the unmanned aerial vehicle in September, albeit with a smaller wingspan. This latest flight utilized a 66-foot (20-meter) wingspan version weighing 42 pounds (18.9kg) aimed to reflect the final model. The test flight saw the drone reach and maintain a cruising altitude of over 66,000 feet (20,000 meters).
“With the development and first flight, in addition to a great number of ground, wind tunnel and scale model tests…a solid foundation has been laid for follow-up development,” said AVIC. “We will move quickly towards large-scale, heavy load and long endurance solar-powered UAVs.”

And not to forget

Maritime Militia​

The Maritime Militia, the first line of defense, counts one-hundred eighty-thousand ocean-going fishing boats and four thousand merchant[7] freighters, some towing sonar detectors, crewed by a million experienced sailors transmitting detailed information around the clock on every warship afloat. Their intelligence goes to shore bases that fuse their reports with automated transmissions from Beidou satellites and forward the data to specialists operating ‘vessel management platforms,’ collating, formatting, and sending actionable information up the PLAN command chain.

And sonar buoys all withing Western Pacific ocean. Supposed to be listening to fishes, but can also hear clearly screws of ships turning away.

China got the most super computers of the world. And the supercomputers will be putting all those data to know every second what ships are heading and speed they at.

American now know for sure their carriers and ships are pin pointed and can run but cannot hide unless they hide in Frisco Bay or Hudson Bay.

And Americans know for sure that DF21s and DF26 can do what they supposed to do, hit moving ships.
The target ship was moving, and was a lot lot smaller than a 100,000 carrier. Which made the hit by DF21 and DF26 equivalent to a pin point hits on the apricot, or medulla oblongata. Like bullets from 2 separate snipers hitting the medulla oblongata simultaneously.



Chinese Long-Range Ballistic Missiles Struck Moving Ship In South China Sea: Report​

The test could represent the first full demonstration of a real Chinese long-range anti-ship ballistic missile capability.​

BY JOSEPH TREVITHICK NOVEMBER 16, 2020


At least some of the ballistic missiles that China's People's Liberation Army fired into the South China Sea during an exercise earlier this year, which you can read about more in the War Zone's initial story on those drills, reportedly hit a moving target ship. If true, this would be the country's first known demonstration of an actual long-range anti-ship ballistic missile capability, which could significantly change the operational calculus for any potential opponent, including the United States, in the disputed maritime region and elsewhere in the Pacific.
The South China Morning Post reported last week that Wang Xiangsui, a retired People's Liberation Army (PLA) officer, had said that one DF-26B intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) and one DF-21D medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) had struck the target vessel as it sailed near the Paracel Island chain during the August exercise. Wang, who has been described as "well-connected" in the past, is best known as one of the co-authors of the 1999 book Unrestricted Warfare, which covered various asymmetric means to undermine and defeat countries that were technologically superior to China. It has become a highly influential text, and general concept, in national security circles.


"We launched the DF-21 and DF-26, and the missiles hit a vessel sailing south of the Paracel Islands," Wang said during a closed-door gathering in China's eastern Zhejiang province in October, according to the South China Morning Post. “Shortly after that, an American military attaché in Geneva, [Switzerland] complained and said it would lead to severe consequences if the missiles hit an American aircraft carrier. They see this as a show of force. But we are doing this because of their provocation."

Wang does not appear to have given any details about the target ship, its construction, how fast it might have been moving, or how the PLA may have cued the missiles their target.
It remains unclear exactly how many missiles the PLA fired during the exercise on Aug. 26. South China Morning Post's initial report had indicated that two weapons had been launched, one DF-26B and one DF-21D, from sites in China's northwestern Qinghai province and in Zhejiang, respectively.


USA fanboys then come about foaming at the mouth that should their precious carriers be hit, they use nukes.

They think China got measly 200++ nukes.
Just like the 5000 km China underground GREAT WALL, contain only piddling 200++ nukes?
USA not realising China nukes are thermonuclear nukes and immediately usable as Chinese nukes are done to YuMing configuration.

USA must think why with only 200++ nukes, China can fire off 2000++ warheads express delivery via DF5 , DF31AG, DF-41 and JL2 and JL3 and much more.

Perhaps they think most of the warheads are delivering dim sum, sweet and sour chicken and tea bags.

Should USA fire just one nuke at China or chinese forces, all the USA bases in Japan and Okinawa and Singapore and Diego Garcia and in USA be turned into seas and lakes of multicolor glass.

None of USA carriers will be safe even if the USA carriers try to hide in Hudson Bay or Frisco Bay.

USA want to play stupid games with phony FONOPs.
USA will win stupid prize.

Xianglong WZ-7 drone commissioned to guide carrier-killer missiles​

December 18, 2020

According to the news reports on December 18, photos on the Internet show that the Xianglong (WZ-7) drone, or called Soar Dragon, has been sprayed with the Chinese Air Force’s dark gray paint, and the military emblem pattern has also appeared on the tail of the fuselage, which shows that the Xianglong strategic surveillance drone has officially entered service.

It is speculated that the Xianglong UAV is military-coded WZ-7 (Wuzhen-7), and is about 14.33 meters long, has a wingspan of 24.86 meters, an equipment load of 650 kg, a normal take-off weight of 7.5 tons, and is equipped with a WS-13 engine.
WS-13 engine features a maximum speed of 750 kilometers per hour and a combat radius of 2,500 kilometers. WZ-7 can fly continuously at an altitude of 18,000 meters to 20,000 meters for 10 hours for continuous reconnaissance and surveillance. This aircraft is also the first jet-type drone among the UAVs currently in service in China.

At the same time, Xianglong (WZ-7)’s requirements for the runway are not high. According to the news previously announced by relevant Chinese military industry company, Xianglong UAV only needs 350 meters of runway to take off, and 500 meters for landing, which is much lower than most combat aircraft.
According to other news, although Xianglong drone is not a pure stealth drone, it still has obvious stealth design in the overall design, such as the ridgeline on the side of the fuselage, the backpack air inlet, and the triangular tail nozzle, etc.
Xianglong UAV exposed this time has been greatly improved compared with the previous scaled model and prototype. The original single vertical tail has been changed to two smaller V tails, and two tail nozzles have also been added underneath the tail nozzle. The outer ventral fin and the sail structure between the wings have been shortened into a fairing cone, which is believed to be an improvement for stealth. In addition, the satellite communication antenna bulge and side-view phased array radar on the fuselage of Xianglong surveillance drone are also clearly visible.

Xianglong WZ-7 UAV is similar to the U.S. RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV, but the size is smaller. In addition to performing high-altitude reconnaissance, surveillance, and intelligence gathering tasks, and strengthening the surveillance and tracking of targets within 2,000 kilometers of the coastline, the aircraft can also provide target data for long-range anti-carrier systems such as DF-21D ballistic missiles considered by the U.S. to be uninterceptable, for more real-time and more efficient guidance.
In addition, Xianglong surveillance drone is equipped with advanced battlefield communication and electronic jamming equipment, which can be used as a high-altitude communication transfer class, and it can also fly to the opponent’s fleet to turn on electronic jamming equipment.

USA need not worry too much of DF26s DF21s any more.

Or even of the 3000++ AShCMs of China, including many Mach3s
:D :omghaha:

As long as USA carriers and Burkes and Ticos stay out of 2nd Island Chain, they will remain safe.

Meet the latest. Sorry cannot even give a name to that as that so new
