Glasseye Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Just one of them could knock out an entire fleet of Chinese ships. Good luck China... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Coming to a coast near you soon. Very quietly. I recently watched this series and found it fascinating. Props to the Navy for allowing a civvy to access such a beast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFJnWp1tAdU&ab_channel=SmarterEveryDay Edited August 15, 2021 by Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaksey Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) The US and UK are still MASSIVELY ahead of China in SSN submarines. The RN Astute Class boats are of equal capability to the USN Seawolfs. There is one DELCARED and I belleve one shadow/dark Astute unit with the Queen Elizabeth CSG at the moment.....as well as 2x Type 45 Destroyers, 2x Type 23 Frigates, Destroyers - USS The Sullivans and Dutch HNLMS Eversten, multiple replenishment and refueling ships. The Queen is carrying 18 F35B's from RAF 617 and USMC VFMA-211 Sqdn's, plus 20+ RN Fleet Air Arm Merlin Mk2's, Mk4's, and Wildcats. This is the largest and most powerful ever martime carrier deployment of 5th generation strike aircraft. To be sure, China is paying attention.

Glasseye Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'm far from being any kind of military buff, by a longshot. But, from my lowly perspective I reckon the combined naval and air forces of the U.S, England, Japan and others would knock the snot out of the Chinese if they attempt any foolishness. Hands down.

I tend to look China like the new dominant dog in the Soi. Barking a lot and pissing everywhere. If he shits in the wrong spot both Mamma and Pappa will come back home and tear him a new asshole. Then he will lose all respect and confidence from his local pack. They will kick him out on his ass and he will find himself up on Suhcumvit road dodging lorries and digging through bins.

Scratch Japan for anything except (limited) self-defense, check the Japanese constitution. As for others, Australia might be able to lend a hand, otherwise there aren't that many any more and few with any interest in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary they are rapidly advancing, including development of a new 6th generation fighter that is reported to be far more advanced than the F-35. they also have a shit load of those. In addition... they are spreading some very sophisticated missell systems throughout their chain of islands leading toward Taiwan and deploying newly built super advanced naval ships (including small aircraft carriers that they can launch F-35's from.

Yes...but, they have said that they would see an attack on Taiwan as a clear threat to them. And they hate the Chinese like no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
