Or just trolls doing what trolls do. Unless you can break every finger on a troll's hand, you can never rid such pandemic.

Anyway, as long as the Pentagon still laughed that they can hear PLAN's SSN / SSBN powering up at Tsingdao from as far as San Diego, then nothing new is out there; when they start to churn out PLAN's "alarmingly improved capabilities" and whatnot, then it's worth checking out. Seriously though, the Chinese need to "do something" about the SOSUS network that blanket the entirety of the East Asia sea floor, to "level the playing field" so to speak.

The 14.5mm/55mm Anti-Frogmen remote control weapon station likely fires supercavitating ammunition. Also it is interesting to see the use of drone ships.

Ok, this whole USN nuclear sub invincibility again !

China waited more than 15 years to roll out the 095. 093 had three upgrades arlready. I know that 093 even the 093B is not super quiet, but that is due to the initial design limitation. 095 is a whole different story, everything on it are newly design and advanced. New reactor, new hull design, and new shaft less electric drive pump jet.

But still, it is unwise to rush to any conclusion since we have no solid evidence about what 095 is like

No one is saying that it is invincible. Mostly everyone is saying that the official specs for the Type 095 have not even come out yet. Yeah, we can predict what the Type 095 might have, and I fully believe that it will definitely be comparable to modern US subs, but we can't make any definite "A is better than B" comparisons since they are premature.

095 is better than your Virginia just as 055 is better than your Arleigh Burke. This is a fact !!

unfortunately, irrespective of how often you say it , currently that is just supposition. NOT fact. let's not get ahead of ourselves here

095 is superior to the Virginia and improved LA

I am Chinese and incredibly pround of the strides our Armed Forces have made. But seriously, even if the 55 is superior to the Arleigh Burke or the 95 sub is better than Virginia, you still need evidence and reasoning for your claims. And where there is doubt in capabilities (of something that doesn’t officially exist) perhaps take the Chinese trait of humility and there is no harm in staying on the side of caution in claiming performance. But can’t do anything about trolls.

Is Taiwan's president mentally unstable? Does she really think that her country is safe? I get it, people have this conception that China is technologically inferior, but seriously, she should really take a good look at her country's armed forces.

Russia sold China 4 Sovremenny-class destroyers 2 decades ago. The Sovs were conceived at the height of the Cold War as a response to the Spruance-class destroyers being constructed by the USN. Right now the Sovs are obsolete even by Chinese standards.





I count 15 DDGs under simultaneous construction. These are the two shipyards that are building ships for the PLAN. One in Dalian and one in Shanghai. The shipyards are 24/7. There are 3 sets of workers with 8-hour shifts.

Taiwan is not safe, not by a long shot.

Guys.......... I thought no political discussion/fanboying in the forum.

Never mind the Taiwanese president, but can you at least try to read the forum rules and make an effort to follow it?
