Have you looked at it?

Why? It’s better to look at some interesting photos rather than overlong arguments with Putinbots that infest every FA article.

“You see, comrade Putin, with this one, you can get from Moscow to Kiev with only one tank”.

“You see, comrade Putin, with this one, you can get from Moscow to Kiev with only one tank”.

The real question is, why do we all waste so much of our time arguing with those trolling/idiotic assholes?

And I have to disagree with that. That act was justified, and had sent a clear message to Russia regarding its treatment of those who oppose the government.

There is one problem with that. A proper IADS would also include AWACS and CAP, and the Chinese have all of them.

You are correct, but I think that we went off topic, which was Cold war tanks. T-72B3 is a very different thank from the original T-72, and even the T-72B.

Damn, not you again! Didn’t I explain it all very nicely on the Friday’s post about Alfa-class submarine?

No worries! Lately, Putinbots are pissing us all off quite heavily.

That’s not how the island hopping worked. It means destroying or disabling heavily fortified bases and occupying the lesser protected ones. You can’t strike into the heart of the enemy, without clearing your path to it.

Just keep them away from the KC-135s! Or Palomares!

Ok folks, let’s continue with the interesting discussions all across the board.

That’s why I wrote “building” and “2020". It’s not there yet, but if they continue with the present rhetoric, they will get there. And while they may or may not be worth capturing, they would certainly have to be destroyed or disabled in a time of war.

Like I said, they are politically reasonable. It’s just that I am slightly pissed about their military expansionism. Their people need a lot of things, but carriers of ballistic missile subs are not among them.

What the hell is that ridiculous BS?

They are not trying to occupy them or anything like that. It is actually a defensive strategy calling on their navy and air force to be able to strike and operate to and beyond those island chains.

World’s largest democracy, but also, one of the world’s most divided societies; a situation best exemplified by the massive (and unnecessary, in my opinion) military expenditures, while a quarter of their population lives in poverty and subpar conditions.

Are you actually trying to compare me with those idiots? I was only pointing out to the fact that sometimes, fortifications are very much necessary and useful, and in this case, building an integrated air defense over the South China Sea would be a very serious thing. Basically, they are trying to create territorial…
