China Military News

India is great-ish in rockets/missiles, but in aircraft (and tanks) not so much.
And is crap in aircraft engines. Ok, this last one is one of the most difficult if not the most difficult thing to master.

South Asia has, since independence, been a net consumer of existing military tech. Paki's the same as India here, just with different suppliers.

The quality of S. Asian arms is effectively how much tech they can con out of their allies of the moment. Or what they can buy from them.

I'm not gonna say I told you so. But I told you so.

I'd generally say something more like a tiger with three paper legs/claws.

Nowhere near as dangerous as it wants you to think, but you'd better deal with it seriously anyways, or it'll do more damage than you have any business letting it.

A tiger with weak legs that keeps acting like it is strong. Is a tiger that will end up getting merced by a pack of Hyenas

A tiger with weak legs can still bite pretty hard

Sadly China also castrated the tiger in order to use their junk in traditional medicine. #smolenergy

Only if it's teeth aren't rotten.

Only if it's teeth aren't rotten.

You still don't get careless, even then. If you're stupid enough to let it get its jaws around your throat, it'll crush it even with broken teeth.

Knowing you somewhat, I'm fairly sure you're not recommending taking them inordinately lightly or anything, I just don't want the crowd of Chinaboos here to think well-merited understanding of China's manifold weaknesses is going to lead to overconfidence on the part of people actually fighting them.

Sun Tsu - Rotten teeth tiger still give AIDS.

My policy on all things is and remains. If someone or something makes an overt threat at you. You smack the hell out of their ass. In the world of Geopolitics. That can be with Military or Economic power. Using Economic power against the CCP would do far more damage to the CCP military than Military strikes can at the moment.

I think he was referring to Lady Boy Tigers from Thailand.

Case in point, the Third Reich had massive corruption and supply issues, was lead by a madman, and look at the damage it did.

Mad brutes have to be destroyed.

 

[Tiamat]

Also, if the Chinese or rather Xi is actually getting serious on cracking down on corruption? That's another reason to worry because he's likely serious about becoming a major military power.

He might make some marginal difference, but the fundamental problem is the nature of the CCP itself.

All Communism eventually leads to massive and systemic corruption. It's an intrinsic function of the system.

 

[Zachowon]

It will always be corrupt. He may have found some but it will always be worse

They're also more focused on putting shit into space instead of, you know, actually developing or stopping their country degrading even further e.g. water ways, poverty, rail transportation, infrastructure, stopping savagery (which, amusingly, Western feminism is quiet on because it's outside of a safe area to soapbox in the West) in villages and towns, et cetera.

India has great potential, but they really need to pull their heads out of their arses priority-wise.

Hinduism and caste system fucked them.They really belive,that 20% of population was born to clean shit of others,becouse karma.
They would be fucked,till they change their Faith.Not for islam,of course - that is another kind of being fucked.

Yeah, the caste system is abominable.

Born to the "wrong" parents? "lol no fuck you, you may have an IQ of 200 but your job is to scrub toilets and shit."

Ooooops, too late, a third of them are Muslim already. Add commies, Hindu nationalists and some other ethnic and political groups with own agendas and you can see why India is a political thunderdome.
