they don't even do that, they 'analyze' based on their impressions of China from 30+ years ago using the strategies most favorable to them. it's like them analyzing in 1970's how T-34s would do if they were lined up in neat rows in the open.
I agree.
Very easy. I think 35 conventional subs + 35 nuclear subs in 10 years is very possible with current capabilities. You can even add 2-3 SSBNs along with these.
5 003s is quite hard but still possible in 10 years.
In 10 years, 700 is easy if China commits the money.
Extremely easy. Should be achieved in 5 years.
I think can be achievable in 8 years or so.
Should be achievable in 6-7 years
Same with the J-16.
We don't know the production rate or the price. But shouldn't be hard
Will probably happen in the next 5 years anyway.
I think SSBNs are too early cold war anyways. In an era where early warning and communications were unreliable, and missiles required long prep time and were immobile, they made perfect sense. Now, you can empty all of your silos in less than 6 minutes after the enemy launches. TELs are easy to build.
yep this is supposed to be low hanging fruit that's achievable with very modest increases in spending, not pie in the sky stuff.
Armed Reunification
I read about so many mishaps regarding the Taiwanese military. There's this assumption that if you're allied with the US, you're military is a bunch Rambos like in the US. Taiwan tried to showoff when a capsized ship was floating in shipping lanes they used Apache helicopters and fired Hellfires to sink it. It didn't sink. Taiwan also tried to showoff firing domestic and US missiles once and the majority of them misfired including American ones. Or how about how a sailor on one of their navy ships accidentally fired their new missile, the one that they say they'll use to destroy the Three Gorges Dam, towards the Mainland. What do you expect from a military where their generals look like they're from a Banana Republic?
Armed Reunification ... which quite frankly is the only logical outcome of an unresolved civil war. I don't know of an example in world history where an unresolved civil war is resolved via voluntary peaceful annexation. Germany was involuntarily divided and defacto occupied, doesn't count. Taiwan even has the island home advantage, so they will roll the dice on holding out until D-Day at minimum.
Thanks for clarification. After much deliberation & failing to understand what does it stand for, i made it up to be "Armed Rounds"
