Even US's current ICBM the Minuteman III can be easily intercepted due to their lack of MIRV !!

To be Frank. Things will get much worst for india in the coming years and decades, as their mere low yield nuclear arsenal gets 100% nullified by China's superior military capabilities and the gap will only get bigger !!
Which also explains why india prefer using aircraft to deliver their weak nukes. Every nuclear super power like Russia, China, US all uses missiles !! But india does not even have any decent aircraft that can actually deliver them without being shot down !
If not for this whole US-China hegemony fight, nuclear blackmail against India would be possible. Unfortunate timingTo be Frank.

Great review, though I wish it were longer.
While the focus on GDP (nominal/PPP) as a base metric isn't wrong, one has to note the importance of even wealth distribution throughout the nation i.e. Gini coefficient. It isn't inherently useful if a country with a strong economy has most of its wealth concentrated on a few individuals (wide income gap). As it stands today, India is at 82.3 (lower the better), almost twice that of China, which is why we're not seeing much in the way of poverty alleviation.
Last I checked, leaving less than half for equipment maintenance/procurement. Unless there's an institution wide change in mindset, I don't see how having a similar sized economy translates to similar military capabilities.
If you haven't already, refer to as he traces the lessons CPC/PLA took since post-ww2. Plenty of gems addressing China's constant need to adapt to the precarious nature it found itself in.

2049 is just a political statement.
by 2035 PLA will become world class top tier military force.
Forward Chinese destroyer type 055. The Chinese Navy has published a promo video about the destroyers of project 055. The first destroyer of the 4th generation, project 055, was first launched in 2014. Type 055 destroyers are so large that they are classed as cruisers in the US. Ships of this series are being built very quickly, short construction times have been achieved due to the modular-sectional approach. The ship is equipped with a Type 346B radar capable of detecting large targets at ranges up to 600 km. The destroyer has modular vertical launchers for missiles, the total ammunition load is 112 missiles. To destroy surface and coastal targets, the destroyer can use YJ-18 and CJ-10 cruise missiles. Air defense at medium and long ranges is carried out using HHQ-9 and HHQ-16 missiles. There are also CY-5 anti-submarine missiles. The ship is equipped with a 130-mm artillery system, 30-mm machine guns, an HJ-10 anti-aircraft system with 24 missiles and electronic warfare systems. To combat underwater targets, there are two 324 mm torpedo tubes. The displacement of the ship is 13,000 tons. At the moment, the destroyers of this project are considered among the most powerful in the world.
Cross-posting this screenshot posted by @tphuang at the Rumored Type 076 LHD/LHA Discussion thread.
Here is to peel off his points from the screenshot above, one-by-one:
I will not bother with the remaining content about his prediction on the future course of the Ukraine war, since the content provided is incomplete, and hence will not be discussed in this post.
Roughly translated:
To be honest, I have mixed feelings. These claims by @梁无咎 range from pretty close to what we have been expecting so far (i.e. 054B and the new 8-wheeled IFV) to just outright hilarious (611 Institute's 6th-generation fighter).
However, what I'm more curious about are regarding #1, #2 and #6. For #6, I have already mentioned in the Rumored Type 076 LHD/LHA Discussion thread, so I won't dive in anymore.
#1 - What does he meant by "sea-based and land-based anti-missile systems"? Something like the China AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense (AEGIS BMD) system?
#2 - What do these "new rocket DF-xx ICBM and DF-XX ASATM" refers to? Could the DF-xx ICBM refering to DF-51? Or DF-27? Besides, shouldn't those special-mission Chinese ASATMs be known as Dong Nengs (DN) instead?
Personally, since this @梁无咎 guy is also kinda known as the second idiot sandwich, so I'm taking his claims - or at least some of it - with a huge pinch of salt.
What do you guys think?

Does anyone know how and/or where to obtain the percentages of industrial production spent on defense as mentioned in the tweet below?
22% (including the Cold War) versus 3% - That is a HUGE DIFFERENCE...

Makes you wonder, if the US is spending that much of its manufacturing capacity on the military, why is it still having difficulty procuring ammunition and gear for its War in Ukraine?
