Another Historic Year for the PLA Navy 

Aircraft carrier = 1 hypersonic missile. The US government was always inefficient in their military expenditure. This is why it is collapsing.

@@sergevtorino I would not underestimate the US or the US military. If the fight is in neutral grounds like South America or Micronesia, China won't stand a chance. And even the PLA thinks it will take 5-6 hypersonic missiles to disable or neutralize a US carrier, not sink it. Then again I don't think the PLA will want to sink it. A good sniper will cripple one soldier and then stay to take out the squad.

@@olderchin1558 The topic is focusing on the Chinese sea. This is the region where the US will most likely confront China. Since, China does not seek world dominance and is not interested in imperialistic wars like the US government. Your assumption about the neutral ground is incorrect. Moreover, the warfare had changed dramatically since the 60s. Aircraft Carriers are relics of the past. 1 missile or drone strike will sink the multibillion dollar carrier with thousands of personnel aboard. Taking into account the proximity of the Chinese territory to the conflict zone (Taiwan Strait), the US has no chance of winning anything. This is the reality. Finally, The US is losing its dominance not just in military strength, but in financial strength too. It cannot just print money in order to recuperate the loses, since the world majority is moving towards dedollarization. Therefore, the US will become much more susceptible to financial struggle in the years ahead.

@@sergevtorino I suggest you look up the video where the US use an decommissioned aircraft carrier as a target. That thing don't sink easily, the water tight compartments make the ship near unsinkable.

​@@olderchin1558 The reality is US does not posses the latest missiles of either Chinese or Russian origin; therefore, those tests are hypothesizing the unknown. Therefore, there is no need for me to see it. I am just being factual and objective. Even if the aircraft carrier is damaged it is a sitting duck near the shores of China. As I said earlier Carriers are symbols of superpowers of the days long gone...

lt's 8x3 batches= 24

There are already 12, including 3 yet to be launched

I think that China definitely want to have more than 18 055-level ships. But in reality, China was slowing down building 055s after the first batch. China maybe planning for something more advanced. The recent stealth experimental frigate might give a hint.

你不是想超过我们，你是想要美国的命🤣

Appreciate the sarcasm.
