      It is they who are trying to cover up their "Pacific Cooperation". Which was not long ago concluded. Yes, and China, you are right, too, close by. But I think there will be little use from these ships.

        Of course, there is little sense, but there are more and more points where you need to direct someone and the US forces are beginning to strain, which is in our favor, let them sweat.

      China hopes to sit out? No "partners". If the "kneading" starts with you they will start and act tough! And then we too .. if they can of course!

        Does China hope to sit out?

        China is a colossus with feet of clay and World War II proved it .... with external unity, Chinese society is full of contradictions .... China’s destiny in the future is 4-6 states that are endlessly warring with each other

      States defend their interests in the region.
      A perfectly normal solution.
      Or is someone expecting a different behavior from the Americans?

      all that the US can do is blurt out their weapons (or fight against an obviously weak enemy). to conflict with China - the tremor of the annular muscle will torment. and if they do, the rest of America's sworn "friends" will be happy to add them with a kuvldy along the ridge. so that the next salivation due to the Atlantic will remain so

    Why go to Singapore? To "lower" China? So the "eskadra" is not great. The Chinese, even if they do not shoot, will simply run in a crowd, trample the "exceptional" ones. Moreover, the ships are "not so hot" coastal coastal. By power, the coast guard. I believe that to China they are "dragon" flea bites. But marked, it means like "world hegemon". "With a pork snout and in a kalashny row" (c).

    If someone like me was curious that in the photo:

    Coastal Battle Ship (LCS) USS Freedom

    The length is 115,3, the width is 17,5, the draft is 3,9 meters, the total displacement is about 3089 tons. The ship is equipped with a combined four-shaft diesel-gas turbine power plant with a total power of 113 thousand horsepower with four jet propulsion, which allows the LCS-1 to reach speeds of up to 45 nodes and make transitions to a range of 3500 nautical miles at a speed of 18 nodes.

    or one MH-60B / F helicopter and two or three deck-based unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of a helicopter type. The LCS-1 armament includes a 57-mm Mk.110 gun, a SeaRAM anti-ship missile defense system with RIM-116 missiles, created on the basis of the 20-mm six-barreled anti-aircraft artillery system Mk-15 Mod.31 “Falanks”, unmanned aerial vehicles in anti-submarine version, robotic boats for search and destruction of mines, as well as protection against small high-speed vessels.

    Everyone carries their freedom with democracy, packing them in shells around the world. Restless.



    And in appearance a good bastard. :)))



    Our shipyards cannot be left behind!

      An invisibility system in infrared radiation is being introduced to the campaign. The exhaust has been put on board, although I would call it a controversial decision, the approaching missile receives another factor confirming precisely this purpose
