Munin, the Chinese Navy is far from being able to outmatch the US Navy.
We are talking about a Navy that has no need to expand the US Navy is at its current size the most powerful Navy in the world. The Navy was not on alert or looking for any other ships. So I take the incident with a grain of salt. A fact worth noting yes, a reason to worry, no.
I wouldn't be surprised if they let the ship get that close...there was no immenent threat an dprobably wanted to observe it and see the tactics the chinese sub used....of course this theory could/prob is wrong but if it is right wewould neve rknow cause it would be classified
We are talking about a lone ship who had it shot at any ship would have been instantly destroyed and i doubt it's sinking capabilities concerning any of the ships in the fleet with one shot.
Correct but if you understand the technicality of ships and their firing capabilities you realize that a submarine with the power of that kind of destruction would most likely be diesel and unable to hold enough fire power to complete the task at hand without being sunk before completing the mission.
Are you saying that "If the Chinese draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on America's territory", the Americans wouldn't respond with nuclear weapons??
Sorry that I keep flipping the question, but it's interesting to see Americans basically say "The Chinese are doing what we do! ... FUCK!"
Which small island has America bound to itself in a slave-like manner?
Yes but the firepower on diesel submarines are more limited while the stealth ability is greater it can not hold the same munitions that advanced submarines hold. Thus it is one of the two main drawbacks the other being distance it is able to travel under water.
Look, China could easily pull something out of its hat but it's not going to. People look at the increased military funding in china and they see China preparing for some kind of attack but this is not what is going on. China is just trying to keep up with the rest of the world. It's a perfectly rational thing to do.
Well if The Russian Federation (or Russia) would do the same and could do it (constantly increase its military budget with double digits along with the massive spying operations), I believe even you would say something completely different.
Well... isn't that, in fact, what they do?
