That is kinda stupid considering the Z is still pending sea trial. It is kinda stupid to use current event to criticize the capabilities of a still under construction warship.
No...It is
YOU who are the laughing stock here.
First...You got no military experience to make any kind of pronouncement.
Second...Everyone knows whatever pronouncement you make, it will always be in favor of whoever is not US. Completely absent of any critical analyses, especially when it comes to technical issues.
Finally...If our generals are laughing, it will be from reading ignorant posts like yours.
See the middle image ? That is how any radar system would process any current ship of any size, civilian or military, as a cluster of reflecting surfaces of various shapes and sizes.
See the few black squares ? That would be the Z. And I am being generous, meaning under the most favorable radar condition, as in calm sea. In combat, at night, and under medium sea, try one or two squares for the Z, if the radar is lucky.
Sucking up to China is not going to change the laws of physics or combat reality. The PLAN have no real combat experience since its creation. Neither does the Russian Navy since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Of land based artillery, one gun can fire two shells and have both land on the target at the same time. For any PLAN ship, the Z can fire four 155 mm shells and have them landed only milliseconds apart from each other and they will shock and awe the crew out of their chow mein. The Z can also launch radar decoys that
WILL seduce the rest of the confused fleet, then disable another PLAN ship with another four shells. All the while the PLAN admiral was still trying to get his pecker in his drawers. Then the Z will just simply slip away into the night, leaving PLAN sailors wondering if this was how the Iraqi Navy felt.
