@samartoor3086 Stupid for you to not be able to filter fake from reality. Those ship profiles do not exist with the US Navy and obviously this is fake or came from a game

@QueenAniger23 @inquirerdotnet Because its simple: China can't do it. If the US was just like the pre-WW2 US, then China has been doing that left and right. Wag kasi puro kabobohan para ipaglaban interest ng China.

@zhao_dashuai Its like you're saying the People's Liberation Army will not survive a war with either a smaller country and more especially a near or greater peer country. We understand your point.

The US military has not fought a corps-sized maneuver warfare against an regular military in 35 years. (Iraq 1991) They have not fought a corps-sized maneuver warfare against a peer enemy for 73 years. (Korea 1953). They are not going to survive invading the fortress of Iran.

I think this is somewhat exaggerated and overlooks important context about the Philippine military during the 2010-2017 period. First, Marawi City was a 4th-class city and was not considered a key strategic area under military observation 1/6

@GlobalReportNow News is real that F-35 was damaged, but photo is obviously AI, the markings on the plane are incorrect, background is inconsistent.

@zhao_dashuai You obviously do not understand your own topic. The video is not a radar detection footage but an IR camera. It means human eyes were used to see the aircraft, not your rubbish and useless Chinese radar.

So the Chinese YLC-8B anti-stealth radar was able to detect the F-35. The US has never released any footage of this very distinct radar being destroyed, so it's still in use.

@PLA_MilitaryUpd Moron, an HQ-9 missile doesn't need a direct hit & uses high explosive fragmentation. The video shows otherwise. An HQ-9 directly hitting an F-35 will surely destroy it, but the F-35 was able to go back to base. You do not know what you're talking about.

The facilities will support the initial SHORAD unit, which will act as a training unit for units that will be converting to SHORAD role. The PA is procuring an initial number of MANPADS, although the AFP has a requirement for a full-spectrum integrated air defense system.
Para Bellum@ReHorizon3

The Philippine Army (@yourphilarmy 🇵🇭) released the Notice to Proceed for the Construction of Short Range Air Defense System (SHORADS) Facilities, intended for the Army's future air defense systems. Two NTPs was released for the Lot 2, and Lot 3 of the SHORADS System facilities.

🇨🇳We have 230X the shipbuilding power of US When we get into a full out war, we can build 10+ Nuclear carriers simultaneously, with dozens of destroyers and nuclear submarines launched every month. US’s shipbuilding? Can’t even sustain growth for USN😂

@zhao_dashuai If there is one humiliated bigger than Iran, it is China. Not only was it able to do anything to stop the conflict, it has not been able to help its ally Iran, the air defense systems China provided to Iran failed miserably. Xi Jinpooh will even buy more Boeing when Trump visits.

The US navy says they cannot escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz. But in a Taiwan scenario, people think the US navy can escort huge convoys of ships, to offload weapons, materiel, food and energy onto an island 150km off the coast of China. This Iran war is a total humiliation for the US. It exposes the limitations of the US hard power, barely enough to deal with Iran.

@zhao_dashuai Everyone already knows that. You just keep recycling news that will make you Chinese feel good about yourselves. But what's the point of your massive capacity when it can be bombed and taken out in the first week of a conflict?

The US navy is currently hiding out of range of the Iranian anti-ship missiles. Unable to open the Strait of Hormuz up for shipping. The US navy is a prop for their hegemonic charade. The real determinant of war fighting capability is not how many ships you have now, it's how fast can you replace losses. The US gutted their own shipbuilding industry, they have zero appetite to fight any peer competitor. The performance of the US navy against Iran, shows they have a below zero chance of intervening in a Taiwan scenario. The American public have zero appetite for it and their industry can't sustain it.

@BeijingDai Too much mental gymnastics. With all your math, the fact remains - China has not done much to help its ally Iran.

In the first Iraq War in 1990, the US had 1900+ aircrafts, 6 aircraft carriers, and 38 allies; In the Second Iraq War in 2003, the US had 863 aircrafts, 5 aircraft carriers, and 16 allies; In the 2026 Iran War, the US had 300+ aircrafts, 2 aircraft carriers, and only 1 ally; From these numbers, you can see the decline of the empire.
