Top threats to the PLA "in my opinion"

*********no insults!!*****

Somebody call it "well trained" that makes everybody laugh, they're meat balls in the modern warfares.
Same as Japanese troops, they don't have any place to do anything. A Japan tank driving a few hundred miles a year is not a news.

Neither of them are "well trained".

Fishhead, I am not a moderator, but I will try and give you some good advise...by continuing to push this issue, you're digging you own hole on the forum. You should stop.

I told you I would not discuss those issues because they just lead to arguement. You continue to try and get me to do so. Why? The moderator on this thread said to stop discussing it. So let's do that, okay?

I listed what I though were the major threats to the PLA in my last post, which is the topic of this thread.

Is that laughable?

All I listed in my post is FACT, and where is the FACT in your post?

Who is digging the hole?

Something that hasn't been mentioned before, the Hsiung Feng III missile could become dangerous to PLAN vessels. It's range is great enough to cover the strait. And it's fast. What about those rumors of the HS IIE with 500km range?
The taiwanese Kidd-class DDGs and Lafayete FFGs could build a defence ring around the island buying time. BMs would not necessarily be a counter to that, since those vessels are moving. And we allready discussed the amount of HE being carried by BMs in another thread.

BTW, what have the JSDF to do with that?

It's true. Hsiung Feng III is a big threat, but they need a radar to do the search and guidance, which is the weak point and the missle can be disabled in usage.

As for Kidd-class DDGs and Lafayete FFGs, if Taiwan loses the air battle, they can't stay within the at least 1000km range of the island, just to escape for their own life.

We could argue until the cows come home about your "facts" and mine...I believe most of what you have posted to refute the capabilities of others is laughable myself...but as I said, why go there?

You do not seem to take the hint that I am not going to argue with you, particularly in light of what the moderator on this thread has said.

If you care to respond to my post about the threats to the PLA, then let me know. If you want to keep bashing the ROC or now the JMSDF (and that quite out of the blue), then knock yourself out...but I believe your doing so digs a hole for yourself on this forum given what the moderator on this thread asked us to do. I have tried every way I can to communicate this to you civilly.

Yes, I am. Will China make a copy? If they will, then I am all for China! :china:

Jeff Head said:

Well, the ROC has credible defenses, including ballistic missile defense. Their air force fighters, naval vessels, etc. are all modern and their personnel well trained...and they have a commitment of US support if it comes to military conflict that they do not initiate. Those are all good advantages for one to have on their side.

But, it seems this is getting emotional at this point and I do not want the discussion to slip into bashing or "ROC" vs "PRC" heated exchanges of who is best or not. So, that's all I have to say on the matter.

The ROC may have all those. But PRC has enough field artillery to knock out ROC defences from mainland.

As I posted in another thread

Gentlemen, If you want to keep this thread open discontinue the ROC Vs PRC chit chat. We all know how those threads wind up.>>> IN FLAMES<<<. Otherwise I will close this thread.

I do not want to get into a PRC vs ROC arguement...but I am intrigued by what you say. You mustr be speaking of the ballistic missiles, right? The Straits are 130-180 km wide and the island itself is also wide...there are not any field guns with the range to cover that.

So if you are speaking of the missiles, then there are defenses for those...and in keeping with the topic of this thread, ballistic missile defense is one large threat and technology that counters the PLA capability.

The WS-2 export version of MLR has a 200km range with 600m cep, this is the public information. No data for PLA used version.

It can cover all air bases, ports, p2, p3 postion in taiwan. And no way to defend it at the moment.
