It's a funny thing for China in the first place wanting to tell other nations what weapon systems they should buy and deploy. They still think and feel like a "middle kingdom" that tells everybody around them what to do.

This summer Putin put a new short range missile brigade at the Chinese border in Siberia. Guess what: The Chinese don't dare to complain. They think they can harass smaller countries like Vietnam or South Korea but lack courage when it would count.

I think you're confused when it counts and when it doesn't. Who cares what missiles Russia puts in Siberia? LOL With the US behaving the way it does, China and Russia are staunch allies. I hope they get more, better missiles and increase trade with China so they get more funding for their military so they can build an even better defense to NATO. Only people like you who don't understand what constitutes a threat and what doesn't could provide such a stupid example.

Speaking of countries that can't mind their own business, the US still thinks it can tell North Korea, a sovereign country half the world away, what kind of weapons it's allowed to develop LOL. Talk about funny and delusional, huh?

They are sited at the far-eastern border with China. It takes some mental exercise to guess their intended target.

Oh come on. China has hundreds of Dongfeng series missiles that are both greater in range and more technologically advanced than Russia's Iskander missiles. The former can easily turn them against Russia as a tit-for-tat gesture, which I'm pretty sure they've already done under secrecy. Russia knows that its missiles cannot alter the strategic balance and China deems this too minor a gesture to even lodge a complaint about. Russia made the dumb move of accepting the IRBM treaty and is now paying for it. What would Russia do if China moves a missile brigade near the Russia border? The answer is nothing. Both countries have their respective militaries and are entitled to position their armed forces however they want.

Typical media bias trying to make China seem like the idiot when it comes to foreign affairs. I've already read an article by a so called "think-tank" which says that China lost the Doklam dispute to India. Given the quality of these "reports", what more do you expect ;)? Maybe this is why China is winning through the art of deception (Sun Tzu).

The second Dokdo class, ROKS Marado, LPH 6112, had its keel laid in April 2017. She is due to launch in April 2018.

The South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) announced the construction start of a second Dokdo-class amphibious assault ship on Friday, April 28.

The keel-laying ceremony was held at Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction Co. in Busan, according to DAPA.

The first Dokdo-class ship, ROKS Dokdo, was built at the same shipyard as the second vessel in the class. It was launched in 2005 and commissioned in 2007.

Measuring 199 meters in length with a beam of 31 meters, ROKS Dokdo is one of the largest amphibious assault ships in Asia, DAPA noted.

Named ROKS Marado, the second vessel is set to be launched by April 2018, while the commissioning is expected to take place by 2020, following tests and evaluations.

DAPA also said the new vessel would incorporate improvements and upgrades that were identified by the Republic of Korea Navy through the operation of ROKS Dokdo.

South Korea will then build a third, the ROKS Baengnyeong, LPH 6113, to launc by 2020 I believe.

The plan is for South Korean to have 3 LPH ships, that will comprise the flag ship of each of three Escort Flotillas. Each flotilla will be led by on Dokdo and be escorted by two KDX-III destroyers (6 of which will be commissioned in 2027).

South Korea ha stated that they intend to operate F-35Bs off of these ships, and that at least one of them is likely to be built with a ski-jump. They may reft the other two with them, but they do not necessarily have to do that.

Here's how the Dokdo compares in size to the Izumo class the Japanese have built.

S. Korean military conducts live-fire drill in east waters after DPRK's missile launch

South Korea's military conducted a live-fire drill with its homegrown ballistic missile in east waters on Friday after the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) missile launch provocation.

According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the military staged live-fire drills in the East Sea by mobilizing Hyunmoo-2A ballistic missiles.

The live-firing exercise was carried out minutes after the DPRK's missile launch with the approval of President Moon Jae-in, the JCS said in a statement.

The DPRK launched a ballistic missile, estimated to have been an intermediate-range one, into east waters from a location near its capital Pyongyang at about 6:57 a.m. local time (2227 GMT Thursday).

It flew about 3,700 km over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido and landed in the North Pacific, according to the JCS.

About six minutes of the DPRK's missile launch, the South Korean military reportedly fired two Hyunmoo-2A ballistic missiles, which have a range of about 300 km.

The military authorities of South Korea and the United States had closely monitored the moves of the DPRK forces and found the signs of its missile launch in advance.

The signs were reported Thursday to President Moon, who ordered the live-fire drills to be on the standby to show force against the expected missile firings of the DPRK, according to the presidential Blue House.
