I know as a American you want to believe America is number 1 and nobody can defeat it... But China can and China will destroy a massive part of the US ships ... wich means the US cant maintain its power projection in the world.
Agreed, watching the Fujian's sea trials has been a riot. It's like the Kuznetsov all over again billowing that black smoke into the air with a tug as it's only escort, but 40 years later.
@@BlueBirdTacticalOK fine. But you know what the those aircraft carriers carry? Right, the Navy’s finest … F/A 18 Super Hornets, F-35C Lightning II, E-2 Hawkeye Airborne Command and Control aircrafts. You can’t literally get close to a carrier strike group. All the CCP PLA can do is to let it’s missiles fly. And the F-35C’s mission is to eliminate those threats first, including radar stations. The US Navy has been doing that strategy in places of conflicts, even before the Gulf wars, it’s no secret.
@@thediggy the title of the video is navy v navy. The dudes comment included Air Force branch. The navy does have squadrons in carriers. So it’s strictly navy v navy.
USAF just going to sit this out? No use of B2/B21 bombers to take out either ships or missile emplacements? Or no use of the Rapid Dragon system to act as a force multiplier?

@@User-1983-bi8bwthe B-2 doesn't need bases in the western Pacific, it can reach Eastern china and any Chinese ship from Hawaii, as long as a refueling tanker launches with it and refuels the B-2 then return base before getting close to china while the B-2 continues. Also US patriot and THAAD systems will destroy most enemy missiles before they get close to bases. Patriot has shot down hypersonic missiles in Ukraine. Furthermore, the US now has hypersonic missiles with very long range.
@@olderchin1558 Are you SERIOUS - They literally have a GLOBAL STRIKE COMMAND. Holy Jeez Guy...everyone is remarking about it because the video leaves them out completely
This is all wrong. First of all, we have an Air Force. Second, our subs would just be shooting fish in a barrel. There is no comparison. Those 2 carriers would be on the bottom within the week. only way they take a carrier is with a sucker punch. Meaning they got to do it first. Before the littoral and the Philippine base. Once they attack, that carrier would become very hard to find, as all their satellites would go down and the US and Japan would have immediate air dominance over Japan and all the Islands.

All wrong is correct because China has a paper dragon fleet. They're unable to be in deep water. Their missile defense is non-existent, whereas sm3s can take out DF their hypersonic missiles. No challenge at all to the US
@Ariel-om5fh Too much dream! Get the facts straight! Pentagon war games have been predicting US defeat in Taiwan for years at this point. In 2018, the Pentagon ran 18 war games of a war over Taiwan with the most realistic conditions and lost all 18 of them to China. Assumes full Japanese support. Without this assumption, the authors admit result will be a decisive US defeat. Overestimated US subsonic missile capabilities Not including hypersonic in the game as they would be in limited numbers. For the US sure. For China, they are building them quite heavily. So many guys pretended they knew more than those military ranks.
@Ariel-om5fhChinese missiles can reach as far as Guam. How far out exactly do you think they'll be able to be and operate and be effective? You seem to forget American planes don't have the range like Chinese planes do. The US is simply at a disadvantage in such a theater. And what "informal regional coalition"? You seem to overestimate every SEA simply coming to US/Taiwan's aid without question. Nothing is officially, formally declared.
I think you're one minded. The lattorial ships are targets only. After the sinking the USAF would start using stand-off weapons against China. The amount of weapons that could be used would probably tax their air defense forces . This would go on day and night giving them no break. At night B1s,F22s,and F35s would drop precision weapons disrupting command and control,storage and port facilities. These losses would make them pull their forces back. At the same time US subs would teach them to fear the water and remaining naval force would contribute cruise missles to the crowded skies attacking shipping and port facilities.
Why wouldn't China have sunk the US vessels the moment they entered Chinese waters? China has their own GPS system now and the US cannot hide navel assets any longer. Chinese GPS and Chinese hypersonic missiles have made navies obsolete.
Agree. Many presentations on the Taiwan issue don’t address taking out ports. Japan did it at Pearl Harbor. England sunk a French fleet, so Germany couldn’t used the ships WW2. Before the Spanish Armada, England made a surprise attack on a Spanish port.
You seem to forget that China is 10 years ahead of the US in hypersonic missiles and has their own GPS system and radar system. The US cannot hide their assets any longer. You fantasize about countries warring with the US as if they have no military. The US Navy is obsolete now that they are giant sitting ducks because GPS can now "see" them. The US cannot hide them any longer. China and Russia both have nuclear submarines that are as advanced if not more advanced than the US. The US pretty much sat on it's laurels since the fall of the USSR and now is paying the price.

And wait a second. China is bad because they're supposedly aggressive but they don't have battle experience, meanwhile USA who isn't aggressive has military experience? Hmm. Something doesn't add up.

Who ever made this doesn’t understand how hard it is to hit a air craft carrier with a sub or anti ship missile they are insanely layered in their air and sub defense
No matter how advanced it is, no air defense system is impenetrable, and when you bombard a huge object in the middle of the ocean with hypersonic missiles with speeds of Mach 6 and above, I don't think any air defense system can prevent this take will be saturated.
This is even considering the Chinese knows what they're doing, meanwhile the US already had shit-ton of simulations where the odds are stacked against them and they're still capable of achieving a stalemate despite these odds
@CruWiT China has not demonstrated the ability to hit moving targets with their hypersonic. Fast as they are, they still take a while to reach their targets and carriers are not going to just be sitting still. The carrier is guaranteed to be miles away from where the missile was originally targeted at.
@@CruWiT every missile is hypersonic china has zero true hypersonic missiles that can change direction while maintaining a hypersonic speed and the us has already proven its possible to shoot those down and some believe we have the capability already either way u gotta be pretty new at this subject to think anyone is fielding a real hypersonic missile only America has successfully tested one
@@davidburke8682 There are systems that can hit hypersonic missiles, but they aren't 100% guaranteed. If air defense reaches heavy oversaturation it will definitely give a deficit. Israel's iron dome was described as impenetrable, but a few hundred primitive Iranian missiles, which were moving slowly and coming from a known source and were announced before launch, were able to overcome Israel's air defense umbrella, 98% of them were destroyed, but 2% passed the air defense network and hit the targets. If even such primitive weapons can overcome such an advanced air defense system, it isn't possible for a huge pile of steel standing in the middle of the ocean to prevent all kinds of attacks from the air.
The US Navy has had a LOT of practice running tactics against the Russian navy, both on the surface and below. What in hell makes China think they have the institutional knowledge to go up against the US Navy?? This is not just tactical knowledge but down to the granular level of sonar men, radar men, etc. who have knowledge in the form of training passed on generation after generation. OK, so the Chinese PLA Navy has more ships. BUT do they have better missiles, better networking and better trained crews with that institutional knowledge I mentioned above? Doubtful but never underestimate your enemy. Japan will never stand for China to take Taiwan (and likely the small Riukyu Islands near Taiwan) Japan is RAPIDLY expanding its navy and air force to counter China. Japan too is a large industrial power with advanced technology. It knows modern arms.
China has more boats yes, but they also name every canoe in their waters as a naval vessel. Going by tonnage, they have 824,000 tons of boats. The US has 3.8 Million tons.
Where are you getting your numbers? China's total naval tonnage, is just shy under 3 million. The US is at about 7.4 million. And no, they aren't naming "every canoe" a naval vessel.
@@Flightman453no not every canoe, but they do count every boat in there coast gaurd, as well as many militia fishing boats as part of there naval numbers. The US does not count its coast gaurd ships towards its naval tonnage or number of ships.
@@thomasD215 That’s not true at all in the slightest. The Chinese Coast Guard and their Maritime Militia fleet are both their separate entities. If the PLAN counted both Coast Guard ships and maritime militia ships their navy ship count would probably be 200+ ships higher lmao. It’s because they have a lot of auxiliary ships and missile boats/corvettes that add to that number because they produced a lot of those smaller boats at the time but their doctrine has changed. That’s why they’ve been slowly retiring those smaller missiles boats/corvettes or giving them to the coast guard as they’re rapidly building larger and more lethal surface combatants.
@@thomasD215 Ummmm this is more about production rates surely as many ships will be destroyed on both sides. One chinese shipyard manufactures more ships than all of America's shipyards combined. This will be like Ukraine where the Ukranians cannot keep pace with Russia's military industrial complex production rates
You civilians ALWAYS assume that the CCP is competent in war, all the while ignoring what history has to show us about what's actually happens when the CCP tries its hand at combat. While it is never wise to underestimate your opponent, I think that if the CCP ever gets froggy, that the world would eat well on frog legs.
@TheBoaty813 in a war, an enemy should never be underestimated. We, Americans, should know that from the various wars we fought. Overconfidence costed us many in the past
@@TheBoaty813to be fair if you've never seen it first hand and don't have any connections or interest in the military, it's understandable. But once you see first hand any of our branches combat capacity in person, video or written description do it no justice. Thanks for your work by the way, anytime the navy gave us a ride I've always been amazed by their ships and subs. Its so overwhelming in size and complexity, just looking around my brain locks up just trying to figure where do you even start planning and building something like that.
Yeah, sometime before the 12 hr point big black planes are going to be taking off from a little base in Missouri. Remember Dolittle’s raid? This will be bigger.
Yeah, wildly unrealistic response. I think the idea was to restrict the response purely to the Navy, even then, no SSGN strikes or various targets etc. I dunno how valid this is.
As well as B1Bs from the US main land running either anti ship missiles taking out the Chinese carriers or making runs on the ground base missle sites. As for the Chinese subs, they didn't even mention the US anti sub abilities including helos and the Poseidon. I feel like they missed quite a bit on the research on this one.
@@macmcgee5116the difference between testing and raining hell in realtime could be days if they wanted it to, they are smart and have already proven it works, now they are just stockpiling 😎
@@m3c4nyku43B2 and B1 bombers can fly from U.S. mainland easily. If the U.S. has aircraft carriers in the sea, it means they also have F-35s, and F22s + F15s could reach the area easily from nearby airbases with use of refueling tankers.
Well... I am no expert in US armed force doctrine but I am sure their navy dont fight alone. The air force and the Marines would join the party too. Plus if china were to start the fight it would make nearly the whole world turn on them.
Wouldn't be just "a Virginia class attack boat." Would be several. AND since the Ohio subs have sonar and torpedoes -- and are VERY QUIET -- they could be exceptional trump cards to back up the Virginias since their nukes wouldn't be in play.
I think a few things are different from what would happen in reality. Firstly, the ship to ship naval battle with aircraft carriers wouldn't be as close as portrayed here. US would cream China with better sailors and better equipment. Secondly, once the US committed I think allies like Japan, South Korea, Philippines, and Australia would be all out in their support from the get-go. The allies would much rather fight alongside a strong US Naval Fleet over one that had been depleted due to lack of support. Thirdly, there would be long range attacks on Chinese ports, and the US would make sure to sink the two Chinese carriers to assert dominance over the Pacific. The wild card would be India. We in India tend to be passive in war, so I don't expect any action from us. But we might be opportunistic and pounce if we sense a weakness in China.
You seem to fantasize and significantly overestimate every single country within the region just simply fighting alongside the US and for Taiwan. Doesn't work that way. Like India? Really? lmao
1. Where the hell are the US air forces and stealth bombers here? 2. The US has access to 9 military bases in the Philippines. Especially in the Cagayan (northern Philippines) and Palawan. China wouldn’t get past Balabac islands without being blockaded by America and the Philippines. 3. Forget the Lombok strait which will be guarded by Australia and Indonesia, China wouldn’t even get past the Balabac strait, which America was given access to by the Philippines, or anything beyond the Sulu sea. American access to Cagayan would also make it even harder for China to do anything in the Pacific. What do you think the first island chain was for in the first place? 4. The Malacca and Sunda straits will NOT be blockaded with the help of the Philippines. That’s India and Australia’s role, or Indonesia if they feel like it. In any case, I doubt Indonesia will allow China to do anything in their waters at all. 5. You failed to mention smaller Pacific island nations that China is trying to bring into its fold. They will play a crucial role whether they side with China or the US. Why? Because of that little thing called GUAM which was never mentioned here.
Doesn't speed not exactly matter on an interception course? I don't think our missiles fly as fast as a ballistic missile outside the atmosphere. Just saying
Considering the Phillipenes were once a US territory including the Spratley Islands and the military alliances we maintain with the Phillipenes I think US has every right to be there and know exactly where Phillipenes territory begins and ends as thousands of Americans died for that territory.
I would like to say a couple of things. There are several facts not correct. Taiwan has a new president, the Ronald Reagan would not be the only aircraft carrier in the area, and as someone pointed out, there are several military bases scattered in the Philippines. The very big issue many have pointed out is the USAF not being active. The USAF and other Air Forces in the region would be very active dropping missiles within days, if not hours of the initial attack. Another overlooked item is the US Navy's "ghost" fleet/s. They may not be top of the line but those ships could be slightly modernized and then go to the war zone. On the Chinese side, there are a few issues, that I believe, not gotten right. The Type 001 and 002 aircraft carriers do not have a good air wing units aboard them at this time. If they do get good aircraft units aboard, the design of flight desk seriously hampers the combat load of the aircraft. The ski jump places a limitation on how much fuel and weapons the aircraft can take off with. Lots of fuel to spend time in the air but only have a few rockets. If you go heavy on the ordinance, you will only have only a very limited time in the air. Last item on this comment is the needed support ships for the Type 001 and 002. One of those support ships would be a tug boat to get the carrier back to the port when, not if, the carrier breaks down, another would be a tanker to supply all the different fuels needs, and another would would be the regular supply ship.
I no expert, but we have F22’s, F35’s, and A-10’s, that can strike off the coast of the Philippines into the south China sea. We don’t have to wait just for navy. I’ve seen them there myself. If you think an A10 is only a tank killer, can you imagine what it would do to the deck of a carrier?
This seems to be narrow in scope. Alot of resources the U.S has at its disposal was omitted. This scenario is lacking. If we were attacked the response would be much quicker. Also the numbers of ships China has is immaterial they are all smaller less capable ships. They also have inherent issues with their aircraft carriers. Like fielding less aircraft and over all performance.
@@Flightman453 The simple fact that the US fleet is smaller in number but more than double in tonnage is really the only thing needed to prove that Chinas navy is compromised of smaller, less capable ships. Their two existing aircraft carriers that are in service, combined would still only carry as many air craft as a single Nimitz class carrier. They are not nuclear powered so they have less endurance and less range. The Chinese Navy is a paper tiger. They are also less capable because they have less experience and are untested. The only real world conflict they have participated in is harassing fishing vessel and vessels from smaller neighboring countries. They do not have the means to project power. Their ships defense is largely dependent on costal defense and the hopes they can intercept US aircraft with their new stealth wich is also less capable than it's US counter parts. Maybe you can get some one else to buy the hype China is trying to sell but it's not going to be any one who actually keeps up with what's going on.
The scenario isn't realistic. Assets from the U.S. Air Force were completely forgotten F-15 assets from Kadena AB in Okinawa and Marine fighters operating close to Taiwan from Japanese bases could be used easily along with strategic bombers flown into Anderson AB, Guam loaded with anti-shipping missiles combined with conventional munitions loaded on our B-2 and B-1 bombers would prove deadly to Chinese ships....they could also remove the threat of the artificial islands the Chinese have built up over the last few years....Add all of those assets and the Chinese wouldn't stand a chance.
This is hilariously childish in understanding the U.S. military capabilities and clearly produced by a pro-China sympathizer. I’ll just hit the biggest oversights and not give away the juicy details of the curb stomping the US would bring. 1. War experience 2. Logistics experience 3. Air Force 4. Anti-air, radar and targeting, stealth, stand-off weapons
If india (who has border disputes w/chyna) could be convinced to join the fight then chyna would be forced to fight a 2-front war. They would have to choose to allocate resources to the navy to fight in Taiwan waters or ground forces to fight India. I doubt that would happen as both seem to enjoy the status quo of just disputing.
In this scenario, war doesn't spread to the mainland both side, only in sea and naval bases. If India attacks China's mainland, China's response will be very harly, and it shouldn't be forgotten that India has its own internal problems and problems with almost all of its neighbors.
@@MochaBatik But China has an autocratic, oppressive one-party rule and has more than 400 million security cameras etc. It is extremely easy to control the population, but India has a multi-party system and political divisions, and there are millions of people living in rural areas who don't even have an ID Card.
That's why subic bay is designed to be evacuated and they're doing island hopping campaign with our aircraft landing at other different positions out of the range of chinese missiles
You don’t understand that arias of South China Sea and Philippine Sea is international route of any shipping vessel. And US. Is an Alliance of Philippine. Tell your friend China to back off.
The US Navy has a limited amount of especially equipped F-35’s to defeat SAM missiles sites because they are 5th generation stealth armed with anti radiation missiles and air to air to shape the battle field.
What about americas long range bombers stealth aircraft and other weapons/ systems that dominate everything not including nuclear that is another fight altogether
Agree with some of this video but I disagree with most of it. It doesn't take into account China is not battle hardened, and hasn't fought a war in decades. I don't think the air battle is a stalemate either. Also, it doesn't touch on our Sub forces much. Our subs would reek havoc on Chinas fleet. That bit where it mentions the Swedish sub getting close to the Reagan. Swedish subs are loads better than the Chinese, and so are their sailors. It was entertaining to watch as always.
This is so outdated. First, there's no more US base in Subic Bay, there are 9 new EDCA bases (Philippines controlled) US base in the Philippines. Second, Philippines has now more than just patrol boats, just last week alone BRP Jose Rizal a guided missile frigate sinked a chinese made ship in South China Sea. Now you know.
Our naval numbers are pathetic atm but our Collins class subs, tho old, are still capable platform and would be useful in this conflict. Also, we would be hitting from a different direction from the US navy.
Day 1, b21 raider takes out type-055 cruser , China "admits" there attack was an accident and promptly apologize or face removel off the face of the planet
So US and PH air defense systems, mid range super sonic cruise missiles and radar systems to detect any attack were not used to defend subic bay base? Hmmm... 🤔
At least trump is mentally competent. At least he's AWARE he's shitting his pants. He would still come up with a plan and actually support the military and not have restrictions in place that would hinder military leadership WHILE shitting his pants. Biden on the other hand would probably wander off to the presidential kitchen for some ice cream cause we know how much he loves ice cream.
First of all, we don't have 472 ships available for combat.....We have less than 300. And 40% of our submarine fleet is either under repair or awaiting repair.
I am a fan of the Freedom class LCS. You forgot to mention that LCS has the Longbow Hellfire missiles. Do you really think it will take Biden 2 hours to be informed of the attack of the Independence class LCS? Depending on the platform that carried out the attack on the LCS. A retaliation attack should take less then an hour. If it was a land based missile then it will take about as long as you stated in the video. I would think a long range bomber could attack either those Chinese occupied islands or the warship that attacked the LCS.
Who needs the Navy? The US and the Philippines are building 4 or 5 full military bases in the northern Philippines at the Taiwan/Philippines choke point, Luzon Strait, south of Taiwan. Batteries of Cruiser Missiles in the Northern Philippines will reach China easily, like the Tomahawks. In a conventional kinetic war, China will be crazy to face India and the US. India used to be just sitting on the fence regarding who to join, China or the US, but now they're with the US. China will face a two-front war; the US, Philippines, and the Allies will be at sea, and then India will face inland up in the mountains. If Russia and North Korea join, Japan and South Korea will be in the North at Miyako Strait (north Taiwan), the northern choke point. China won't do it unless the puppet masters controlling the strings on all countries (China, the US, India, everybody) want someone to do a nuclear first strike with an agenda to reduce global population, then we have a problem. We will hope for the best and start praying. 🙏🙏Is the author a graduate of War College or even an Intelligence Officer? If not, this is just a story.
The only thing I get out of your videos lately is your support for the Biden campaign. That's your prerogative, but I'm of the opinion that this show shouldn't be about politics masqueraded under a geopolitical context that has transcended over multiple US administrations, regardless of politial party holding office.
Haven't you guys heard of the AGM-158C LRASM (Long Range Anti-Ship Missile)? These pack a 1,000 pound warhead and can be fired by the Super Hornets, B-1s plus all of the destroyers, as they can be launched by the Mk41 vertical launch tubes. The US would lob these in from standoff range and make a real mess of the CCP fleet.
This assumes a myopic scenario where the conflict will be narrowed down in the South China Sea. Its the 21st century and much of the conflict will take place in the US backyard.
You left out Russian military, plus the US Air Force completely in this scenario at the very least. They are wary of each other but both want the US damaged plus the possibility of nuclear weapons. I hope we never find out what would happen in the real world
The US would not try and take over the SCS, they would be content with launching air attacks from land bases and subs, large surface assets would be kept at safe distances in a more limited fight like in this video.
I would assume that if Taiwan fights with the US they would declare independence and he probably would end up with a US base of some kind on the island
The Mutual Defense Treaty between the US and the Philippines is more than a treaty. It was approved by both houses of the US congress and both houses of the Philippines' congress and signed by the Secretary of State of the US and the Foreign Affairs Secretary of the Philippines, finally by both US and Philippine Presidents. If the US does not honor this 73 year old defense treaty, the Philippines will be forced to accept China's desire to control the Luzon Bashi Strait which connects the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, thus breaking the formidable island chain that confines China's projection of naval power, also surrender it's entire Exclusive Economic Zone and make useless the United Nations' purpose and integrity.
It is only marginally realistic, in the end China will be defeated. You have left out so many of the US weapons The US would stop trading with China and this would have a big effect on thier economy. You left out the possibility of India lending a hand, and Vietnam.
China lists many of their submarines but doesn't mention that a lot of them are still under construction. As of right now, the U.S. has more active duty subs. And U.S. subs are all technologically superior and better built than Chinese subs.
@@greenktoo Yup, that especially is their biggest shortfall. That and experience too. With the current economic direction China is moving they will have a lot less funding in the future.
