Its from Raymarine, not Raytheon. They split from Raytheon in 2000.
China's SCS Strategy Thread
- Thread starter lilzz
- Start date
Not quite correct. They got acquired by FLiR then FLiR got acquired by Teledyne.
Basic thrust of my question still stands - why not deploy an indigenous solution for these craft?
Maybe its what came installed with the RHIB? I'm sure there are indigenous solutions, but why replace something that isn't broken?
Another provocation from the PH, after squatting in Rén'ài Jiāo, now PH is destroying Chinese property in the area.
PH is encouraging not only the US, but also countries like Japan, Australia, France, etc to form a joint Trespassing coalition in an attempt to challenge China's sovereignty in the SCS

Good I hope they all get blown up. PH is brave because their gods are with them.
Bad move. It may in fact give PRC an excuse to resolve this situation permanently -- by dispatching Coast Guard to arrest the garrison on Sierra Madre for theft. Note this is an CIVILIAN dispute, unless Philippine garrison open fire, at which point it becomes military dispute and PLAN now has an excuse to step in.
China has a long term strategy of hide and bide and focus on economic growth, that's why they spend only 1.5% of GDP on military. They only act defensively, this way they have more justification when they do use force. This puts China's enemies in a lull and they do not unite against China too much to put it down. This is the only way a country the size of China can grow powerful without setting a up a massive coalition against it. China has the potential to be 4 times bigger than US in total GDP. This is the potential they want to fulfill. Geopolitical issues can be solved slowly as they keep getting more powerful. This is why China can be patient with all its disputes whether its Taiwan or SCS or Japan.
China is totally aware of what the Biden Administration is up to. They are getting desperate by the days.
While the US may not be interested to engage in any hot war with China, it will uses BingBong's Philippines to stoke or to start a war by proxy pretending and even promising to come to her rescue.
Broken promise is what Philippines can expects. But will BingBong felt remorse. He is his father's son. It is the fate of Philippines that it is repeated.
The objective and endgame of US is to wipe off their entire debt with China with sanctions. While the MIC gets a boost supplying arms thru a lend-lease as they did with Ukraine.
A double jeopardy for Philiippine now that their posterity will be forever trapped in US debt.
The M.O. is the same as Russia.
BingBong is more than happy to obey as he is assured of the release of his family stolen assets currently held by US DoJ. In disgrace he like his family will flee once again.
One important point many diehard hawks in Philippines failed to understand nor comprehend is while China may be soft with Taiwan due to the fact Taiwanese are regarded as brethren, their military may be merciless coming to Philippines.
China is certainly not afraid of the US as war is very costly and US can barely afford to pay the interest alone for it USD35 trillion debt. It is more than their national income.

Honestly just tow the damn ship already. There can only be two outcomes: Tow the ship and parry off whatever tantrum coming. Or let enemy get away with it so a bigger taunt is coming, in which case a bigger retaliation is required.
If the goal is to keep peace, a quick retaliation will end the drama.
If the goal is to provoke a bigger war, which is unlikely to be China's objective, then pick option B.
