Pentagon: China's military might soon surpass that of Russia and America

China's military might soon surpass that of Russia and America. It is possible that this will happen over the next few years.

This opinion was expressed by the deputy head of the United States Chiefs of Staff (CHS) General John Hayten during a meeting with a group of military observers yesterday.

The words of the American senior military officer were in response to a question from a journalist as to whether China is America's main military rival. The Pentagon believes that this is close to the truth today.

At the same time, Hayten notes that Beijing cannot yet be called the main force capable of resisting the United States, since its nuclear potential is about a fifth of the Russian one, which has more than XNUMX warheads. Moreover, according to the general, all this power is deployed towards the United States.

Russia is still the most imminent threat

- said Hayten.

But given the "stunning" speed with which the PRC is carrying out its defense construction, very soon it will be able to become the number one military power in the world, overtaking both the Russian Federation and the United States.

Earlier, Voennoe Obozreniye reported that General Hayten even praised Russia for the fact that our country "is openly testing hypersonic weapons." According to the deputy head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this is important from the point of view of a possible discussion of a treaty on the reduction of strategic offensive arms.

In fairness, it should be noted that neither the United States nor China for real they have never fought a serious enemy. Well, the fact that China is becoming more powerful militarily is a fact. While there is no problem for Russia.

[vkl.47]

And when did we last fight with a serious rival? In 1941? And the Chinese army is the largest in the world. And the people there for the sake of the country will do anything.

[hrych]

Last time they returned Crimea, declassing the "strongest" army in Europe. The people of China are not very capable of self-sacrifice, and in a big mess, be surprised that most of them will meekly kneel before the invader. And the Chinese army, after the reduction of 300 thousand ground forces, is now inferior to the United States in terms of number and India (taking into account the reservists, of course).

[Refael]

Aren't you funny yourself? Dwarf Georgia and impoverished Ukraine ... Chechnya was more serious for Russia, but then Russia was poor and beheaded, this is not surprising. That's all.

[I am not a robot]

so our people will do anything for the sake of the country

nor has China ever really fought a serious adversary.

Who told you? And with Japan, with Vietnam, and participation in the Korean War, and this is only the 20th century.

The Chinese do not think so.

On September 11, in Beijing, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR Alexei Kosygin, who was returning from the funeral of Ho Chi Minh, and the Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Enlai, agreed to stop hostile actions and that the troops remain in their positions without going to Damansky. Nevertheless, immediately after that, the Chinese occupied the island and did not leave it any more, that is, since September 1969, Damansky was de facto controlled by the Chinese side.

Aaron, can you remember how the Hongwengbins left (ran in panic!) From Damansky? Don't be silent about the BM-21 battalion either, about the fact that Chairman Mao ordered (personally ordered!) To shoot every 10th escaped "from hell" ...
And so, yes ... Amur changed the channel (after the construction of the dam of Kitias on the channel) and, according to the mn treaty, the border moved ... So Damansky Island ended up on the side of Kitais ...
Well, and what, it was necessary to kill the guys again for the sake of pryntsyp?
Therefore, having said "A", be so kind as to "lisp to the end of the alphabet," without missing the letters ...
AHA.

Aaron you have no idea what happened then, but yours does not want to remember and are silent!
Then the world got a picture of what is meant by God's wrath RUSS, empty officers explain to you what RUSSIA did there, then it will be clear that NATO and their diaper move are on the edge of a knife today!

About the war with Japan: read the book "Special Region of China" - there the CCP dealt more with the Kuomintang, and not fought with the Japanese. With Vietnam - does this mean the conflict between China and Vietnam? So there Vietnam, as it were, won. In the Korean War, China participated mainly with infantry, and the war there went on with varying success and ended where it began (I must say right away that I am not against China).

The northerners almost defeated the southerners one on one. Only the entry into the war of the NATO bloc with Ethiopia made it possible to defeat the DPRK army. The Chinese entered the war with the United States when the Americans reached the Korean-Chinese border. The Chinese infantry drove the American tanks back to Seoul despite the air superiority of the US air force.

It was not about victories, but about participation in a war with a serious enemy!

With Japan? Portraying the victim.
Vietnam? Shlopotal on cabbage soup at an accelerated pace.
Participation in the Korean War? An army of millions in slippers. So to fight as then, it will no longer work.

The PRC and the United States have drawn a three-year war in Korea. The United States turned out to be a tough nut to crack for the PRC, the Chinese were able to free only half of Korea from the US invaders and their allies.

[Victor Tsenin]

Well, how could the United States not fight, WWI, WWII, but the PRC, yes, fought little, and not very successfully.

Russia is still the most imminent threat

The general raved off about where America is, and why Russia needs it, at least he wondered. In general, sit on your "aircraft carrier under the name America" ​​and do not meddle with others, and no one will come to you.

The thing is that GENERAL thinks ... in an American way!
He looks at the world from his bell tower. He assesses who can write out MEGATON pi..lul in response to the "promotion of American democracy" ... Whales are still inferior to us and the States in the megaton segment ...
But Comrade Xi ordered the 14th Five-Year Plan to increase military power and re-equip the PLA with modern weapons and weapons.

[hrych]

The general, naming the number of our strategic nuclear forces, does not say anything. That this is aimed exclusively at the United States is also not entirely. Like SLBMs, from the polar regions, the belt is equally shot across the latitude of the Earth from the EU, China and the United States. This is the main belt where the overwhelming majority of earthlings are concentrated, including Israel, Turkey, etc. Also, strategic aviation does not focus on the United States. ICBM, yes, of course, no dispute. But the general did not mention our TNW, taking into account it, we have more warheads than all combined. It has passed a thousand kilometers in range, reached hypersound and previously reached the megaton class. All of Eurasia and partly again the United States is under their gun. Well, Poseidon and Petrel, as something new and certainly of the level of strategic nuclear forces. And what speaks of the growth of China's might sends a message to us, they say, do not help China, or even join its pogrom. Let him look for fools.

[Shket53]

... Let him look for fools ... Here I agree with you 100% ... And the fact that the Chinese are not capable of self-sacrifice ... You are absolutely wrong ... "after we return Taiwan, we will take up Singapore" ... this is they are already talking openly ... although the maps of the "temporarily occupied Soviet regions of China" have been removed in China, I go there I see it all with my own eyes ... now they are singing a new Kalinka there, as well as, like under Stalin, "Russia and China brothers forever "

[hrych]

I don’t believe that people have changed in 70 years. The ancestors were resigned and the descendants will not become miraculous heroes. You don't have to look at the parades and agitation. There the Saddamites were so tough and ran away at once, only the smell of fried. In kung fu movies, they're cool. In fact, the guys do not shine.

[Shket53]

I would not believe either, only they are taking an example from us ... under the leadership of the CPSU (b), the Union won the war with Germany ... from 1917 to 1941 the industrialization of the USSR was carried out, and from 41 to 45 they stuffed the face of the fascists ... now about China ... from 1989 to 1999 industrialization was carried out (and at our expense, both the West and the Yankees took part) and since 2001 an active growth in production began, followed by the rearmament of the army ... and notice all this under the watchful eye of the CCP and MOB (Ministry of Public Security), which by the way is directly subordinate to the CCP ... and the propaganda did not stand still there ... but now it's 2021 ... and lo and behold, China is the second economy in the world ... or maybe the first ? Now I believe ... I don’t believe ... resigned, and miraculous heroes ... You know about the Yankes ILC, but the fact that the Chinese ILC has 60 bayonets, and separate BATALONS of underwater special forces are allocated in it, for the "first wave" , and by 000 all 2025 landing ships of project 10 will be completed, for the "second wave", I hope you can add 075 + 2 and get an answer ... will they donate or not. Yes, but about Saddam .... a separate topic ... if not for one ok under the pseudonym "Humpbacked" ... the Yankees would certainly have won .... but they washed their blood on the most

Hello old!
The Yankees are still superb ... They are hucksters by nature, therefore they seduce our moneybags with gingerbreads, try to influence the mindset of the slugs of the 5th column ... This is what their "TROYANSKAYA" horse is dedicated to ... precisely on such "fools "they are counting in our country and around the world ...
At the expense of targets for strategic nuclear forces and tactical nuclear weapons. They change depending on changes in the environment. Well, except maybe the LONG ARM. There is a list of priorities (mainly arsenals of nuclear weapons, launchers, decision-making centers, forces with nuclear weapons), and the rest are on the Moscow Railways and on paper (dubbing).
So, if necessary, we will numb everyone ... we will not leave a single bastard without HOT attention.
