No, it just means a handful of Ballistics Missiles. Or you just swarm it with drones or cruise missiles. The U.S. Destroyers fighting the Houthis have repeatedly had to leave the combat zone because their interceptors have been depleted.

Directly contradicted by all reporting on the event. The defended range of a Patriot Battery is 50-100 square kilometers, all the missiles struck the base inside that envelope.

We now have combat testing to back this up, as Iraqi militias using ballistic missiles successfully overloaded Patriot systems defending a U.S. base using swarm tactics: Given China has a larger, more advanced and potent ballistic missile force than Iraqi militias, this portends very badly...

Okay, so let's walk through this, which of these is a new system and how many of them do the Pakistanis have? Which were posted near the engagement site? Even better, why isn't this a story in Pakistan? In fact, the only website I know of that has, is this one Indian news cite you quoted.

What radar systems does Pakistan have from China? Can you name them for us, and how many they have.

They've been deploying to Somalia to fight pirates since the 2000s, send battle groups up to Alaska and have been conducting continuous military exercises around Taiwan since 2022 without a single breakdown reported or observed. Observations by the ROC and U.S. of their carrier ops show they...

The CSIS war game that assumes 90% of theater aerial assets are destroyed in the first 72 hours had as it's end result the U.S. defeating a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, so if war games are solely for us to adapt, why would they have their main recent wargame result in a victory? Since that...

If you don't think I'll listen, then why did you reply and continue to reply? I don't buy you're doing it for the thread, because you just said it's a waste of time; these are mutually contradictory statements on their face. You only pull this card, and have done so many times, when I challenge...

@LordsFire if you'd be willing to tell me what you consider reliable sources, I'd be happy to review them. I'm assuming the Pentagon's 2023 report on the PLA would be considered objective and reliable by you, so for now I'll use that. For clarity's sake, I'm only going to quote the relevant part...

You have yet to provide any sources. Please, do share yours so that I may know what you base your argument upon. Yes, but I'm equally well aware China, unlike Iraq in 1991, isn't coming off of eight years of attrition warfare and has an economy larger than that of the United States; again...

Not sure what that's referring to, but I'm actually quoting the CSIS study:

Something else worth noting, however, is that whatever the various merits of weapons systems, the U.S. categorically lacks the capability to wage a war in the Pacific on a logistical basis. 90% of our aircraft get destroyed on the ground in the first 24-48 hours and then operations collapse in...

250 J-20s so far, more than the F-22 total production run, as of December. Monthly production rates are currently ~10 airframes a month, so they'll surpass the U.S. sometime next year in active stealth fighters, presuming their rate of increase continues: In a recent report, CBO analyzed how...

Okay, so his idea is...solely based on what children say? Cool, where is proof of these maps being widespread? They will be inclined to fight because the U.S. isn't controlled by Chinese agents and will probably seek to prevent Taiwan from slipping out of its sphere, at least until its...

No barbs are needed to point out the logical holes in a, as yet unnamed book, wrote by a "Polish teacher" who apparently was interviewing a handful of random Chinese people. In a country of over one billion, particularly without interviewing senior officials, there's no society wide conclusions...

Or we can deduce this unnamed book is without merit by the fact it apparently doesn't even know it's spelled as Chinese and not "Chineese" in English. Putting aside your weird conspiracy theories as baseless, you can instead look at Chinese military production, training and technology to say...

Except for the multiple exercises we've run since 2008 which show they beat us in air clashes over Taiwan, the fact PLAAF pilots are better trained and the Navy and Air Force say the J-20 is basically equal to the F-35? You seem to have missed the fact the USAF recently announced they've given...

I don't see any reason to think China wants Siberia, particularly in the context of the "Soviets" still having the larger nuclear weapons capacity. Specific to the issue of Taiwan, also that's going to be a no: There’s another concern for some American officials: that the United States does not...

Wonder what changed? What possible supplier via overland routes could exist...

America Ignores The Pacific Islands At Its Peril Take the Pacific Island nations, for example. This past April, the PRC scored a strategic coup when it signed a security agreement with the Solomon Islands that dramatically expanded its standing and military access there. That, however, was just...
