US attack on Scarborough Shoal might be under preparation

[Feng Leng]

The US is getting more desperate as the epidemic spreads and Trump is falling behind in the polls. US Navy tried this month to wrest Scarborough Shoal from China with dual carrier battlegroup exercises over a period of two weeks. China defended Scarborough Shoal with its own dual carrier battlegroup exercises and live fire anti-ship attack exercises.

Now we are moving into the second phase, where the US might launch a missile attack on Scarborough Shoal to demonstrate that it does not recognize it as any country's territory. There is nobody stationed on the shoal itself so the scale of the conflict can be controlled -- it would be mainly a political signal and ego booster for Trump. A missile launched from a B-2 would be difficult to detect and intercept.

At the same time, the Indians will make a move on the LAC.

I believe it is time to deploy move naval ships to Scarborough Shoal, including Type 055 for AAW and Type 056 for ASuW, and also send armed H-2Ks on regular patrols close to Guam.

Indians are not going to make a move on Ladakh. They're too scared fearing a Pakistani involvement at the same time.

Can you imagine Pakistani forces and Chinese forces shooting Indians at the same time. Who's going to save them?

PLA has announced more live fire anti-ship attack exercises!

Modi is getting desperate. Covid-19 is spreading everywhere.

After the defense deal with China we can stop oil Flow to petrodollar. No worries, things are changing rapidly.

Philippines and Vietnam can declare war against USA the the ground of missile attack targeting their sovereign territory.

Their propaganda.

No matter how bad you beat the sh outta them, they will win in their imaginary stories and propaganda.

And this is after Philippinos begged, and prostrated in from of them for 3 decades to honour their defence pact

Scarborough Shoal doesn't even have a solid land to step on on high tide.

There will be no war. Even Soviet and US are their peak of disagreement didn't start one.

China is a peer that can matched US even in terms of nuclear capabilities to mutually destroy each other. There is no way to intercept 10 MIRV at a single target , not to mention HGV.

China will surely use DF-21D and DF-26 to sink a USN carrier with 5000 crew onboard. If that happened, US will no choice but to use nuclear attack but that will also be end of war as China will throw dozen of DF-41.

just let them bomb it. And as for Indians, I wish they would start something so China can push them out of Ladakh by force.

PLA starts maritime drills featuring 'powerful ammunition' on doorstep of S. China Sea

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is holding live-fire drills with powerful ammunition near Leizhou Peninsula of South China's Guangdong Province, on the doorstep of the South China Sea, starting Saturday, amid continuous US military provocations in the region.

The drills likely feature anti-ship and anti-aircraft exercises by warplanes of the PLA Air Force, said a Chinese military expert, who also hopes to see the drills to include other military branches including the Navy and Rocket Force in joint operations, and China's anti-aircraft carrier ballistic missiles.

According to a notice released by the PLA Unit 95180 via local media Beihai Television on Thursday, the drills will be conducted in two phases. The first phase is from Saturday to Monday, in a large, roughly rectangle-shaped area in the waters off the Leizhou Peninsula to the west, and the second phase is from Tuesday to August 2, in a smaller circle with an eight-kilometer-radius in the same region.

It also said the live-fire exercises will cover an extensive area with powerful ammunition, and the general public should not enter the designated sea areas.

The notice did not reveal any further detail on the drills.

According to publicly available information, including a report on Beihai city government's website, the Unit 95180 is affiliated with the PLA Air Force.

Song Zhongping, a Chinese military expert and TV commentator, told the Global Times on Saturday that maritime live-fire drills by the air force usually include shooting aircraft and surface vessels. Such drills could train securing air superiority and target hostile warships in the South China Sea.

In an analysis article on Friday, Ordnance Industry Science Technology, a Xi'an-based magazine on the national defense industry, highlighted the wording in the PLA notice of "powerful ammunition". It said ballistic missiles in the DF series of the PLA Rocket Force should be among the first to be identified as powerful ammunition.

Song said that he would be eager to see the drills feature more military branches, with the Navy and Rocket Force joining in a coordinated joint operation.

In a potential anti-ship exercise featuring the Rocket Force, ballistic missiles can target large surface vessels, and heavy anti-ship cruise missiles could also conduct long-range strike from 300 to 400 kilometers away, Song said.

The PLA drills come at a time when the US military has been making increasing excursions into the South China Sea for reconnaissance and exercises with warplanes and warships, which experts said may increase the possibility for military skirmishes with China.

Drills by the PLA can show its actual combat capability in potential conflict with the US forces in all territories and fields, and can serve as a major deterrence that demonstrates the PLA's determination to safeguard national sovereignty and development interests, Song said.

In other drills in the South China Sea, JH-7A fighter bombers affiliated with the PLA Southern Theater Command Navy recently conducted live-fire shooting training on sea surface targets, Navy H-6 bombers ran nighttime patrol missions in the South China Sea from Monday to Wednesday, and Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft held multiple anti-submarine training sessions in early July, according to media releases by the PLA.


This is the official confirmation. China anticipates a US attack on Scarborough Shoal and is conducting ASBM exercises to deter a US adventure.

While the US is getting more desperate, it is not insane. Do prepare for a proxy war however.

Historically, US went to war to drive stock market up. No other reason. Look at Iraq war, from 2003-2008 stock market went up. 2009-2019 war after war, stocks went up 11 years straight. BUT look at US stock stock market now, it's near the all-time high. Why US wanna war now when it's more likely they want to crash the market again!

Philippines and Vietnam can declare war against USA the the ground of missile attack targeting their sovereign territory.

US can liberate Islands and Sea for Viet and phil, like Soviet liberated Manchuria for China, why not ?
