When it comes to first strike, experience doesn’t apply. An overwhelming alpha strike with simultaneous blitz might preempt reinforcement once relief forces realize there’s no safe harbor for re-supply. With this in mind, it’s up to Taiwanese to have the porcupine defense fighting tooth-and-nail to stymie Chinese invaders long enough for relief forces to arrive. I fear the rescue time won’t be short enough to save them IFF the alpha strike goes according to plan.

The Germans also made jet aircrafts, rudderless bombers... They were good!

The Soviets used them until they found the soldiers were drinking the fuel. JK. Then went to solid.

Love his videos too! And yes he does have one on why the marines ditched their tanks, probably searchable with some keywords. The gist is that the marines were getting to be a bit too much like an army 2.0, and the logistics/support associated with tanks didn't really fit into their traditional doctrine of highly mobile and amphibious assault. Twas a good video 👍🏻

UK and France maybe, but not my country. Earlier on in the cold war we tried to keep our nukes in the air as often as possible do to an early lead in strategic weaponry the soviets had. We had pilots with nuclear payloads passing out in-flight, accidentally releasing their payloads over the continental US and allied territories like Greenland, and this happened an uncomfortable number of times. Fortunately, as far as I know, none of these were ever primed to blow in these incidents, although its believed one of those bombs is still lost within the ice and snow of Greenland to this day. Although our insistence on basing our nuclear weapons in other NATO states, I think is incredibly reckless. Once that strategic shortcoming was resolved, those flights ended. However, submarine based nuclear weaponry is probably the area in which all parties are somewhat irresponsible. The idea of putting such weapons onboard craft that can often end up cut off from communication, lead to some dire scenarios. Vasily Aleksandrovich Arkhipov was in command of a sub during the Cuban Missile Crisis and prevented such a scenario from taking place, when tensions, mixed with a loss of communications, led many aboard his submarine to believe the worst. That man's cool head is why we're alive today, but its scary to think that its not a given that every submarine will be crewed with at least one person like him in a position to make such an important decision.

You're correct, China is a much much bigger industrial power. (Which is equivalent to the next 2nd 3rd 4th 5th combined and more while Russia today is only equivalent to their 5%) That will help how to think about how many crazy weapons and technology they have.

Each of these missiles is a hundred million a pop. A hundred or so, you are reaching the same cost as a carrier. That is also IF they work anywhere near intended. The first half is a ballistic missile, though hypersonic fast it locks on to location, not target and flies at a predictable trajectory. The glider that pops off is driven by momentum. IF it can lock on target and make turns, it loses speed for every turn not to mention it might have to hold on to that speed for a couple hundred miles between the initial break off of the ballistic missile.

China's entire defense is literally designed for defense. If China were to use these missle systems to attack another nation. It would require mobilization of a occupying force.

Just wanted to bump this. The only good news is that it's technically challenging to mass produce these things for a prolonged conflict.

Heck, if the CCP launched a few at Japan it might still be the end because they counterattack (most likely a conventional one) might leave them desperate enough to lob missiles at a nuclear capable nation (in this scenario the US).

No we havn't been afraid as only their long range Nuclear can reach Australia and JORN gives us days notice of a invading force for all these shorter range to hit us. Also you have no clue on what Australia is doing about it as is kept pretty secretive. but if search will find we are starting very big in Domestic ballistic missiles and rocket systems in Australia, And because of Ray Stalker and his scramjet technology we are going really big in Hypersonics. Robotic painting and sanding systems for Hypersonic missiles. Doemestic rocket fuels etc. Australias small population means our military is going big in AI drones and missiles. Well LNP were but knowing Labor past they will cut our military and destroy it all.

Ned yes I’m aware or JORN and anyone with half a brain knows that no one is going to invade Australia, just carry out activities to keep us out of the game. As for the rest of your comments - it’s all research. There is nothing concrete that can be deployed today. Finally as for your comments on the LNP yep we have handed over billions of dollars to foreign owned companies to provide equipment designed to fight a war in Europe and to counter insurgents. We still not have developed the infrastructure in northern Australia to sustain operations in our north! Our near neighbours can legitimately allow a foreign power to base shorter range missiles to our north and except for invading them there is little we can do! And you can blame all of that on the LNP who tried to screw one of our new near neighbours out of oil and gas and another which has been allowed to run extremely loose! While we were spending billions on wars in far away places we also cut aid and therefore influence to our near neighbours!

@Baz N I think your point is spot on, regarding China's lack of combat experience. I am also skeptical of claimed military capabilities in any totalitarian regime. I suspect one of the reasons Russian troops fared so badly in trying to take Kyiv early in the war is that Russian generals were afraid to be open and honest about Russian ground forces' limitations. Not that it kept them from being relieve of duty then jailed; it merely delayed the inevitable. The U.S. did the same in Afghanistan. Every commander over there said we were "making progress" and it was a complete lie. When General Shinseki recommended 200K troops for OIF-1 in 2002, he was fired by Rumsfeld. None of the other Joint Chiefs resigned in protest. Building solid, integrated combat arms capabilities is a lengthy, difficult and costly process. This process must be evaluated using objective measures, to ensure that there isn't a gap between stated and actual capabilities. I'm not a China analyst, but it seems apparent to me that today's Chinese society and political culture is not one that readily lends itself to frank assessments of its military capabilities and limitations.

Hochdruckpumpe = high pressure pump(litteral translation)

The point of limiting short range missiles is this: In the event of nuclear launch, say Russia and America both think the other launched first and both launch within a minute of each other - the air is filled with the end of civilisation and if no-one does anything, civilisation across the globe ends. Long range missiles are in the air for long enough to negotiate both side turning their missiles into harmless ballistic lumps of metal that crash into the sea or burn up in the atmosphere - still not pretty but it’s not the apocalypse. Short range missiles are in the air for just a few minutes. Do you really think, even with interpreters already in place and the phone calls being made the second the launch happens, that 6 minutes is long enough to broker an agreement and send the command to deactivate all the missiles in the air? Russia and America certainly didn’t think so!

Also since when did your government forced you to write positive twitter/weibo posts about your missile capabilities? Also aren't your rocket manufacturing more than 'ten' years old?

Unfortunately, if the decision makers and intelligence services swallow their own propaganda, they may make unsound decisions. In Putin's Russia, the FSB was providing rosy estimates of how well the Russian economy could handle potential sanctions, and rosy estimates of how easy it would be to take over Ukraine. Why? Because of the system - either you provided estimates that said, "Yes, Russia can do anything!" or you get scrutiny. Obviously, it's not so important when they force ordinary people who aren't part of the decision making process to sing the praises. But when it applies to the analysts responsible for the reports informing the decision making process ... well, obviously bad decisions can happen. I hope the CCP leadership sees this risk, comprehends this risk, and does what is necessary to deal with this risk. My family is Taiwanese, so obviously I hope Chinese missiles do not rain down upon them. But it would be particularly tragic, to me, if such a decision was made based on flawed analysis.

You don't know what you are talking about. If you look at Chinese troops in WW2 you will see they are dressed like the Germans because the Chinese Army was being trained by the Germans and somewhat equipped by the Germans. It was only latter when the war started did Germany favor Japan and drop support for China. In fact some Germans favored a treaty with China over Japan. The Chinese are proud of a story of a German businessman that saved many people during the rape of Nanking. When learning his factory in Germany was destroyed, they sent him money to rebuild as a thank-you.

@@6ixpool520 Agreed

There’s only so much suspension can do with a vehicle with such a long wheel base. It’s not about the ability of the suspension to absorb shock, but the fact that the vehicle will just bottom out of it tries to cross a large obstacle. That limits what kind of terrain it can cross. But let’s not just assume that Chinese vehicles can do something well just because they thought of it. Surely they thought of the sun drying out their tires, but there those tires are falling apart on Russian vehicles.

@@bluemarlin8138 yeah, being long and heavy obviously limits where a vehicle can go but, modern active air suspension systems would definitely allow that MML to go off road on relatively flat terrain. It definitely is not relegated to paved roads. Tires cracking in the sun is a simple maintenance issue, China is not Russia and has plenty of money to maintain they're equipment.

Theoretically and scientifically yes, as GPS signals are fairly weak and can be blocked although with high flying objects the need would be to scramble the signals, however, all that would really do would be to reduce a missiles terminal precision. Sometimes that's a really big deal, like saving a specific bunker or arty battery from being hit, but not enough to save a large logistics base, airbase, etc. Ballistic missiles with inertial guidance are pretty serious bad news if an enemy has them in abundance. One thing worth noting is that such large TEL vehicles would not hide easily from suitable munitions dropped from advanced stealth bombers. Also note that US Marines don't readily give kudos to the over-priced Air Force boys in blue, but this one just did.

anti-missile is a lot more difficult and expensive than tracking ballistic missiles, just imagine trying to intercept missiles flying at you at 8km per second with a nuclear warhead. It is maaaybe doable if defending on homeland where you can make up errors with numbers but in a case of war US is the one that is going to rely on warships that cost tens of billion each to intercept those missiles (since there are no reason for china to fight in US mainland proximity atm).
