China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

Also these following replies under @luritie's initial reply:

... What?

Why should a claim by some unknown PLARF personnel against the PLA Navy ALL THE WAY BACK from the late 1960s matters in the PLA today?

The PLARF was still the 2nd Artillery Corps in the 1960s, and will remain so until the PLA reform of 2015. Very few people from the 1960s would have clearly understood the idea, in-and-out, wrt the importance of interservice integration and cooperation between the PLARF, PLAAF and PLAN in a hypothetical 2nd Pacific War scenario as people do today.

Especially when the PLA back then is still essentially ran by the "People's War" concept, and the massive wake-up call from the Persian Gulf War hasn't happened yet?

And these:



Again... what?

How in the world are AAMs supposed to play the same role as ASBMs??!

Even my uninformed a$$es can tell that their targets are different to each other in A LOT of parameters...

Lastly, thes
Is he claiming that the USN shouldn't develop hypersonic missiles because the USAF already did?

Meanwhile, he is also quoting this book:

Has anyone read this quoted book before?

TL; DR - I do understand that interservice rivalry is unavoidable in all militaries across the world, with some less bad and some truly worse - But his whole Tweet just sounds like BS to me.

Maybe you should stop paying attention to the moron?

PLAN once famously gave up on a major warship purchase to save money for PLAAF to buy fighters earlier on in PRC history
More recently, PLAAF famously let PLAN headhunt all their best trainee pilots to establish pilot corp for carrier based fighters after Liaoning went into service.

Shilao and Yankee discussed this at length very recently:

In fact they used this specifically as example that PLA is different compared to other armed forces in regards to inter service rivalry.

yes and there is also the fact that all PLA services originated from the ground force.

i think it has something to do with the party system it has.

I am actually highlighting more reasons on why we all should stop paying attention to the m0r0n.

Either way, thanks for your reminder.

Nah, bro. PLAOpsOSINT totally knows what he's talking about. I mean, if a Twitter OSINTard doesn't have the inside track on the detailed thinking of the various PLA service branches, who does?

More like PLAPSYOP is doing its job.

The inspiration for this report comes from a March 2017 article in the South China Morning Post titled “America’s Hidden Role in Chinese Weapons Research.

Maybe MSS should made Stephen Chen stop writing his articles, lol

2 flight restriction zones will be active on 9/26, suggesting multiple ballistic missile tests from Taiyuan Space Center.

Area 1: 0652-0708 1032-1108 1232-1308 UTC
Area 2: 0703-0735 1043-1115 1243-1315 UTC

Note that the 2 zones are not aligned..

China did more ballistic missile tests than rest of the world combined in past 4 years.
