Yeah, I'm sure the grunts that will be sent into the meat grinder will just love to have loudspeakers blaring youtube clips that some POG far away choose for them.

Your head.

I am trying to do the tactical side of my job.
Which means further forward then infantry

I'm pretty sure you've never enjoyed either trenchfoot or the aftermath. 😋
We know how to deal with it and how to not get it.
We also won't be doing the trench warfare.
The US trains mobility over everything else.

Also, neither do you

Actually, I do. Don't change your socks for several days while walking around with an exposed broken bone when it's cold and wet - welp, congratulations - trench foot and a PICC line is your special door prize.

Been there and done that.

I didn't have an exposed broken bone but I definitely have done the former.
So maybe I had Trench foot when I thought I had something else.

My bone infection was so bad that I was given every antibiotic the hospital had and lost a toe.

Surprisingly, I thought it was just a blister that wouldn't heal because it didn't hurt.

An entire month of IV antibiotics ain't fun.

Did they identify the bacteria responsible for the rot? It sounds a bit like necrotizing fasciitis?

Read Chapter 15. It was required knowledge for all Boat Units. And we had other manual we had to know too.

back to the topic.

chinese military gear is not good quality

like their fighters are literally falling out of the sky

J-7 (MiG 21 copy?) crashed into a residential area just a week ago and other accidents have been recorded despite the censorship

the stuff they sell to client states like Bangladesh is just downright terrible

also, the production of more advanced gear is slowing down because China is running out of money

The J-7 is pretty odd.

IIRC, it's basically based on a modernized Russian MiG design that was upgraded, and it had numerous advanced technologies built-in to it from the ground up; however, a lot of those technologies were either stolen (mostly from the United States via espionage) so they don't truly understand them (they're more replicating than developing what data/examples they have, I think?), or they are all just immature for their [China's] technological development level, so the implementations go... awry, to say the least.

And for all the hype of the J-7, it's pretty much a new last generation fighter on par with the (failed) Eurofighter Typhoon.

So, yeah; not really a threat when you have better, more upgraded last generation fighters zipping around as its contemporaries, as well as the F-35.

I don't think it can even compare to the Typhoon, not by a long shot.

It's a MiG-21 based fighter. Like, the same jet that fought in Korea.

But the fact that China is still using them heavily is an indication that they don't have enough modern jets (J-15, J-16, J-20, etc.)

China is out of money and that's why they're using this old shit.

your point about the stolen tech is also valid.

those commies are like schoolchildren copying someone else's homework.

they get the grade but when it comes to the test, they flunk it.

Why should they even try? just wait till Democrats finish off USA,and Taiwan would surrender without fight.
Because they don't have time. China has a demographics bomb that is coming due this decade. They have way more old people than young people. And grandpa is not storming any beaches in a few years time.
