| #2 Taiwan is like Israel in not being able to rely on the US for protection. But to counter the 1,500+ missiles, as well as aircraft, pointed at them, their best bet would be to get the technology to build solid-state lasers. As a highly classified project run by only the most trustworthy of personnel, this would negate much of the "low tech" mainland offense, meaning that they would have far more of the regular Taiwanese military to contend with. Which would radically increase the "degree of difficulty" of any attack. |

| #1 Ditto as per BANGLADESH. Read, PAKISTAN; sub-read, INDJUH = INDIA. * ION WAFF > CHINA'S FIRST AIRCRAFT CARRIER TO SERVE IN SOUTH CHINA SEA. ARTIC > PLA GEN. QIAO LIANG = "AIR + SPACE POWER is the KEY TO FUTURE WARS ... The Aircraft Carrier's dynasty [era = time] has already passed because Econ Activities DO NOT SOLELY RELY ON LAND + MARINE TRANSPORT [anymore?]". * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > MILITARY EXPERT [Yin Zhuo]: CHINA'S CARRIER NEEDS A LONG TIME TO POSSESS COMBAT CAPACITY. * SAME > CHINA WILL ASSIST SRI LANKA [anytime] WHEN NEEDED: CHINESE PM [Wen Jiaobao], espec as per International affairs. IIUC, Beijing is politely giving the Indian Navy "the Bird". * SPACEWAR > REPORT: CHINA TO START LANDING DRILLS ON CARRIER [Shenyang J15's = PLAN copy of navalized Russian SU-33's Flankers]. * TOPIX > CHINESE PRESS QUESTION NEW CARRIER. PLA DAILY > aka PLA Army = Ground Forces, sub-aka Landlubbers, dare to question the national requirement for Carrier Aviation = Tom Cruise's/Maverick's "Need for Speed". [USAAC GEN.HAP ARNOLD VERSUS THE ARMY VERSUS THE NAVY VERSUS THE GREAT DEPRESSION VERSUS WAR-NAVY BUDGETS, + "COMMAND DECISION" + "12 O'CLOCK HIGH" + "THE 1000-PLANE RAID" here]. |
