Iranian missiles achieved nothing except providing free training practice for Israeli air defense and revealing locations of missiles to US.
you can see how much actual destruction Israeli air force did to that Iranian militia and those pagers are on top of that.
The Syrian government that Iranian militia gave thousands of lives is not firing a single shot in support of them. UAE president went basically signed New World Order document with US. MBS not visiting because Trump is not there. did any one comes out in support of Iran than it is doing such great work that it should lob more missiles?. only people who do not understand reality spend it on it.
Location of missiles… on mobile launchers? Didn’t hear the US bragging that they destroyed those mobile launchers so it didn’t happen.

That is capacity, not an production forecast.

Plus I don't think it would make sense to make more than 1 SSBN per year.

How many more SSBNs could there be?

I see a maximum of 8. And with a maximum of a 12 month module assembly time, that's an 8 year production run, which I think is a bit short for an efficient production run.

---

As noted earlier, the ORF estimate of capacity is way off. A 9-12 month module assembly time would increase the capacity estimate by 3-4x.
- One might not build as many boats per year as the yard has capacity to do so, but one does not expand the yard if its not building as many as it has capacity to, and new bays are being added.
- It makes as much sense to build more than 1 SSBN per year as it makes sense to build 20 bays at Huludao, and there are 20 bays as Huludao
- There could be as many more SSBN as China deems necessary, which could be more than 1, or it could be it's 5x SSN + 1 SSBN a year, nobody knows what's in the bays.
- US builds 1.5 Virginia per year per 5 bays, multiply by 4 and you get exactly 6, so evidently your estimate of bay to boats per year needs rectifying.

EU plywood dumping probe opens new front in China trade dispute​

Investigation into cheap wood exports follows producers’ claim the products originated in Russia

The EU is launching an anti-dumping investigation into cheap plywood imports after complaints by the bloc’s domestic producers, opening another front in its trade conflict with China.

EU producers say there has been a surge in cheap hardwood plywood coming from China, much of which they believe originates in Russia. Brussels banned Russian wood imports after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The probe follows the EU’s imposition of tariffs of up to 45 per cent on Chinese electric vehicles last week. China responded to that with provisional tariffs on EU brandy exports and had already opened anti-dumping probes into pork and dairy products,

The move has sparked fears by EU member states of an extended cycle of retaliatory moves on important products, while China argues the EU is being protectionist. As tensions heighten, the two sides have also filed multiple challenges to the other’s trade defence measures at the World Trade Organization.
This EU-China trade war is escalating quickly.

Decoding China: Baerbock's bruising battle with Beijing​

Dang Yuan
10/11/2024October 11, 2024
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock is planning her first trip to Beijing since labeling China a "rival" and Xi Jinping a "dictator." Berlin is siding with Beijing on EV tariffs, but many conflicts remain.

Tough road to Beijing​


This week, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported that Baerbock was set to travel to China "in the coming days." Sources in Berlin have said the timing of the trip is still being decided. It is clear, however, that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently met Baerbock at a UN session in New York, and invited her to visit Beijing "whenever it suits you best."


EU sending the best person for the job to put out this fire.

US is now placing its own THAAD missile defence system in Israel.

It seems like Iran's attack on Israel definitely made an impression.

Procurement of THAAD missiles for the FY2024 budget was 11, with a total of 623 in all previous years. I'm not sure how effective this can be in a saturation attack, which Iran has already demonstrated. There simply aren't enough interceptors to be able to protect Israel from Iranian ballistic missiles.
