China's SCS Strategy Thread
- Thread starter lilzz
- Start date
so china still doesn't have total sea supriority/control over SCS and has to suffer provocations like this. Really need that 004 now...
Nothing is stopping China from sending their ski jump carrier all the way to CONUS with several oilers in tow. That will be a nice tit for tat.
Its easy for ships to just pay a visit and waste oil in peace time. The real test of power is wartime chances of survivability.
All US ships within the first island Chain will likely be identified and sunk within 24 hours of when hostilities begin.
but if the PLAN is strong to the point where they are maintaining a constant presence throughout the SCS doing drills or whatnot then no one would dare enter
China has to be careful. The US is well aware that the PLA is optimised for striking within the First Island Chain.
As for the SCS, given the utter failure of Chinese air defence equipment in the recent Venezuela operation, the PLA's fortified islands in the SCS are not so much bastions of strength as pockets of extreme vulnerability. China, as a land empire, is fixated on controlling territory, and will squander significant resources defending these isolated bits of artificial land in the SCS.
As for the atolls themselves, they are susceptible to attack given that their defenses, however impressive on paper, probably don't work nearly as well as advertised. Once their air defenses are eliminated, then it's a small matter to knock out their power generation and water supply. In a conflict, the USMC is all but certain to seize them and use them to deter Chinese naval forces in the SCS.
Not true, there is nothing PLA can do if US brings their entire navy and just moves them around in peace time. Its simply just sailing. No one believes PLA will start shooting just cause US Navy showed up. Even terrible navies like Germany and Canada send ships to the SCS. It has nothing to do with PLA strength. It is all about showing the flag during peace time.
Also if China builds a huge navy, they will just not keep them confined to the SCS doing constant drills. Its wasteful. They will send the navy to distant parts of the world. Recently China send ships to Australia. Next they will send to the Middle-East and Eventually to Latin America. Again, just cause they are sailing these ships to distant places, that doesn't mean they will start fighting wars there.

The US has to be more careful. China has tailored its military to defeat the US in Asia.
Your entire rant relies on your first line. The Chinese radars were: 1. 20 years old 2. not turned on 3. not in an integrated detection and kill chain like Pakistan had made 4. badly outnumbered. None of these applies to China's force in Asia and the US military knows that or they wouldn't be panick-committing to a $1.5 trillion military budget next year. Given these facts, the rest of your junk falls apart.
Huh? They had the J-27A. Newer set. As for Pakistan/India, the Indian air force was able to do some serious damage against Pakistani bases towards the end of the skirmish, neutralising Chinese air defense gear. Chinese gear looks cool on paper and at Zhuhai, but it's all propaganda. China's bark is far worse than its bite.
Your back after your 2 months break or you were lurking all that time after getting dunked on the last time you ran with your tail between your legs and you came back with the same bs you have to be a troll nobody is falling for it lol @mods ban this most obviously cia wanna be white so bad troll
