It’s a real pain being a Lego collector and trying to sort through what’s actually a high quality building set and who is trying to make money off of cheap copies. This instance comes to mind:

I can die happy

Meanwhile ASuMs would be dropping on top of the submarines, and then your submarine forces would be severely dwindled. China has a major advantage over the U.S. In terms of submarines because of geography. They can have all their submarines in theater while ours have to be spread around the globe. Starting with a…

I doubt even Americans would be so foolish to test fire a weapon system with 2 Chinese destroyers shadowing them.

Most warships will be dead on the first clean hit. They carry too much fuel and munitions and modern AShMs know where to hit a ship.

However, there was a near collision not to long ago when a Type-071 blocked the USS Cowpens

My first thought is what does this accomplish?

A lot of the fringe groups are just props from ISIS to make money. They know western cash can’t flow directly into their hands anymore, so they receive it through affiliated groups posing as “moderates”.

You are thinking Bomb Ships, which are a type of gunboat mounting a big mortar or similar typically in line with the keel. I am talking about small boats that would mount a few long guns, which were meant almost exclusively for attacking ships, due to their low trajectory. The predecessor or the monitors

Actually the use of gunboats has been going on for a really long time, at least 400 years. They might not be able to go toe-to-toe with big ships, but can be deployed in much greater numbers, are much less of a loss when sunk, and can sink or disable a larger ship for a fraction of the cost.

If it's being dropped 30 miles away it's not a suicide weapon.

Yah, you may want to use spell check and also check your sentence structure before you post, because that is borderline gibberish

Those ships are huge, the smallest being larger than most cruisers. Russia has a knack for packing serious firepower on every ship from the tiny little Matka-Class Missile boat through the Kirov-Class.

Its amazing how Russia can cram so much firepower onto a ship

I am not sure, but if he was in a populated area, he could have chosen to fly it into the ground to make sure he didn't kill anyone.

There was a concept to do similar with the Tu-160

They have done it before with disastrous results

Remember the Battlehawk proposal a couple years back?

I believe you are confusing North Korea and China. China has between 300-3000 nuclear warheads according to American sources and about 1,800 with 900 deployable at a given time according to Russian sources.
