We don’t count every canoe as a naval vessel.

Any time they talk about the US losing in War Games its because we stack the war game against us on purpose to lose. Cause with losing we learn a lot more than we would just mopping the floor with everyone in the war game. So anytime they talk about losing a war game you have to remember we stack the deck against ourselves on purpose.

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” - Mike Tyson

His face when I believe he relised we would be OK in America, it is our allies that wouldn't😅

Experience also matters. The US Navy has more than a century of experience in carrier operations. China has to reinvent the wheel to figure out what works and what doesn't for carrier operations. Even if they develop their own supercarrier, that does not mean it will be as effective as an American supercarrier strike group.

This is not a pat-oneself-on-the-back kind of statement, but I will say this, the United States as a country has been more successful than any other nation in all of history. In that regard, look at all of the nations that have benefited or were pulled up because of the United States, China in particular. Look at EVERY nation that has a US military base in their country, and then contrast those nations with all nations that do not have a US military base in their borders. The difference is staggering. Lastly, the 'biggest' navy in the world means nothing if they are at the bottom of the ocean, because they all were sunk by aircraft. But they don't include 'space' and 'cyber space' assets. You can't tell China's missiles to fire on US aircraft if the missiles never get the signal to fire.

China has a bunch of small ships that are of.no.threat.

Also, you have to remember that in wargames America always plays with the odds against us

Thanks ❤️ Much Love! #Michigan

5:18 also, as we’ve recently found out, nukes aren’t the largest threat from China. Some half or more of their “nukes” are filed with water, iirc.

@8:00 China's "fifth genrration fighter" is a flying schoolbus I wouldn't take to war unless I was fighting Russia with their even more pathetic stealth fighter that they cant even produce engines for.

I paused at 5 minutes into the video.... US air superiority means China doesn't even have a navy fleet! 😮

China has more “boats” but only 800k of tonnage… we have over 3 million tons

This is why we now have a space force, the US government knows all these things and have plans to deal with our enemies. China has the same mindset all of our enemies have had and they all have failed because It all comes down to Leadership and the determination to win. Not saying China is a weak enemy. But they do not have our resolve coming from a USMC VET

Numbers and tonnage of those vessles are very different parameters by which to measure strength. China has more in numbers but USA has more in tonnage.

Those with the most experience have the advantage. If you've never been shot at before, you will freeze, and if the other guy doesn't, you're in trouble. Modern tanks, ships, aircraft are great, but it's the crews that matter the most.

I can guarantee you that there are several submarines roaming around China and Russia right now and work in over-watch groups coordinating with carrier groups.

our win knowing , our british friends show up , all welcome to the party

pentagon makes those war game simulations hard as possible to get more funding from congress

I love it " were just 7 min's in" funny shit!

But "controlling the skies" doesn't just come down to whoever has more aircraft than the other. You can control the skies by prohibiting the use of them by your enemy as well, and China has plenty of Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems for that (at least for controlling THEIR skies, though not as useful if they are in the role of aggressor away from their mainland areas). Also, don't get too caught up in the fact that China has more naval vessels than the U.S., either. They don't have the power projection capacity the U.S. has because many of their ships can't travel as far, or for as long, as U.S. ships/fleets can (due to lacking the support ship structure the U.S. has, among other things). Also, let's not forget about the big boys. The U.S. has a MUCH MUCH more robust Aircraft Carrier (and helicopter carrier) capacity then China has (which would be bringing a LOT of those extra aircraft from other branches that are mentioned in the video - in this case, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps - to the fight).

Who ever controls the sky controls the battle field, that is the saying

I've watched videos on what we have that could shoot chinese missiles and i'm pretty sure it's classified possibly lazers

You learn more by losing every single time we do war games with another country we intentionally handicap ourselves

The largest navy is all about how you count the ships, boats, and "water crafts". The catch with Japan is that most of its forces are for defense only. However, this is slowly changing.

China also have the LARGEST drone fleet and some of the best Drone technology. They are actively developing both Lasers and Rail Gun systems for ships and jets. The ability to use its industry to replenish is much greater than US right now. As for fuel and food, entire Russia, central Asia, etc. is open to help China on these.

In simulated combat in an all out war against China, the U.S has already written off no more than 4 carriers, whether they are sunk out right or taken out if combat temporarily. That is how committed the US government is to this subject. That is almost 100 billion dollars off the top. After that, they suspect China would be running low on missiles and more carriers and land based craft from Japan, Guam, and Taiwan could take over

18:00 japan's constitution does not allow it to use war as a means of settling conflict. it has developed a lot of defense systems, and has an air force, navy, etc., but the united states is still its boomstick per treaty. it would most certainly be denounced across the world, though. japan has a ton of allies, not just the US. no one really wants to see anything more happen to japan, either, so morally they stand on the high ground in almost any circumstance.

China"s Navy is 800k tons.... the US Navy has 3.5 million tons of war ships. The super carriers in the US fleet have over half the deck area of all the carriers in the world. And that doesn't count the helicopter carriers.

Those Chinese ballistic missiles wouldn't account to much. Just look at what a single US destroyer did to stop a barrage of missiles and drones launches at Israel from Yemen. A single destroyer swatted it down like it was nothing. US naval vessels have incredible anti-missile, anti-drone, anti-aircraft capabilities.

The Chinese Navy counts everything. The US Navy counts warships. No-one compares Navy Warship *tonnage*. You can have a thousand canoes with a red star on the side, what are they going to do against a 100,000 ton Aircraft Carrier?

Great video my man. thanks!!!!!!

The narrator is assuming China could take Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and other Pacific islands before the US could defend them.

China has the largest navy by counted ships, but if you weigh them, ours is 11x times heavier

You should go look at the fat electrician you would love his videos and they're really good military stories of the United

The Chinese count all their boats lol

Sent two aircraft carriers....China took 40 years to try to counter it

GO NAVY. Texas here.

Let's face it: The only realistic scenario for war between the US and China is the defense of Taiwan from invasion. In such a case, China's chief naval shortcoming is a lack of landing craft, not lack of "blue water" ships. They also don't really need aircraft carriers because the fighting will be within reach of their land bases. The chief US shortcoming is depleted stocks of expendable weapons like missiles. There's also a serious question about how well US carrier task groups can stand up to Chinese combined missile, submarine and air attacks. Finally, in war games and in reality, China will doubtless attack US air bases early on and both take out many planes but also deny the remaining aircraft use of forward facilities. While I think ashore, the Taiwanese will do well in fighting off an invasion force, at sea and in the air I think the US will take severe losses.

There's also North Korea that would probably keep both the us and South Koreans occupied in process (esp since Seoul is the target for an artillery strike in the event a war kicks off).

The US has always had a military strategy of having technology and weapons that have not been made public. If you look into the history of what we have in our arsenal public is 50 years behind what we really have. Don’t forget our space force.

I ask a question. In the 1950s, did MacArthur make it to the United States for Christmas? Why couldn't he go back to the United States in time for Christmas? The gap in weapons between the Chinese army at that time was much greater than the gap between the weapons between the Chinese army and the US army today. If the Chinese military injects water into its missiles, ordinary people can know about it. It's just like you would believe your neighbor who tells you which stock to buy will go up. It's just as outrageous. Use only weapons to deduce the outcome of war. I'm afraid it's something only students who like military affairs would do. If weapons could directly determine the outcome of a war, Kim Jong-un would not exist in this world. Why don't you ask China's retired soldiers why they want to be soldiers? Go interview a US military soldier and ask him why he wants to be a soldier. You will know why the top leaders of the United States are so cautious about China. Why do even the Houthis dare to use ballistic missiles to attack US warships? and American merchant ships. Didn’t the US military lose enough face during the Cold War? Even the Taliban has been unable to defeat them for so many years. I really don’t know where the US military’s confidence comes from? I would like to ask Americans how many people know that China fired two ballistic missiles from Qinghai Province and Zhejiang Province at different times in 2021, but hit the same target ship at the same time.

20:15 In regards to the wargames... The US military purposefully throws the games so as to not reveal all the cards in their hand.

China has more boats than us, but the USA has more naval tonnage than the rest of the world combined. Naval tonnage is a better indicator of strength because heavier ships have more capabilities and armor

Don't forget the motivation behind the fighting. It's very different when you have a volunteer military versus a forced military

Most of Chinas Navy is not an actual “Blue Water Navy” the can’t operate to far from their own shores, and the U.S. still has China beat in total tonnage of ships. Meaning the U.S. operates bigger and more capable ships compared to China.

By the way, the way most war games are done is to put yourself at a disadvantage in order to prepare for any kind of scenario and to be prepared for those situations if they did happen.

The thing this video didn't mention is the fact that it was revealed recently that over half of the Chinese ballistic missles are not operational in the slightest. The fuel was removed by the technicians in the silos and used elsewhere, the fuel tanks were filled with water. It's not known just how many missiles have water in place of fuel but it's likely to be a huge majority.

China just recently tried putting an anti-submarine nets..., and then got one of their own subs caught in it.

US has largest Blue water navy. China navy can't fight too far from shore. Think Coast Guard vs Navy

Remember that the one-child policy means every Chinese soldier killed would be an only child. Chinese parents were selecting male babies and aborting female babies. China depends on children supporting their parents in old age. So domestic patience with senseless war is limited.

The fact that the b-2 Spirit and the B-52 Stratofortress are now going to be based in Australia really puts a hurt on China.

If we (the US) are at war, we would be producing whatever the military needed to win. Seriously. Don't underestimate what we can do.😊

The craziest thing....Whatever we publicly release about our weapon systems, will still not be our latest, untold weaponry.

The "war games" we play in the Navy are set up for us to lose from the word "start". We set ourselves up this way so that we train as if we are always in the worst possible spot. Example: Aircraft carriers can have 2 elevators to move aircraft from below deck to topside. In the war games 1 or both will be put out of commission to see how the captain, crew, and fleet react to being down aircraft. Turning that carrier into a landing strip on the move, any planes to damaged to take off is dumped overboard to make room for functioning ones to refuel and refit and set them off to fight again. We don't give ourselves God mode during these drills, we make it so we are on the verge of losing everything from the rip and have to fight back using everything we got. Imagine it like this.... Your in a ring with Mike Tyson, every rule they set against us is like a punch from Mike. And we have to go 12 rounds of rule setting hands down no guard, and then go fight Mayweather for another 12 rounds where we can fight back this time. Without removing any damage or giving us any rest between fights.

China counts fishing boats as part of their naval forces. Go with tonnage. The US has like 6timea as much

The U.S . Could simply embargo at a distance and not allow trade in or out . Chinas economy is very reliant on trade. It wouldn’t take long for the economy to collapse. China gets most of it’s oil from the Persian gulf, an embargo would be crippling. Some people don’t realize that the US is now energy independent and only cares about the gulf because it fuels the rest of the world and their economies, who we trade with.

I love how you root for the US.

I’d go with the US, not being bias, but I’ve studied both countries to understand how this will work out. While China currently has the #’s, which is why the CCP is getting desperate to make their decisions before the window of opportunity closes, and the US has the technology, this goes deeper that really is like Cold War 2.0. The issue the Chinese have is they lack basic foresight, while there is a strong discipline in the culture, the CCP wiped out any other critical criteria’s that could eventually persuade the population to overthrow the government. There has unfortunately been an indoctrination to be formed as the perfect soldier that is ultimately about obedience, this will be their Achilles heels and downfall. The US on the other hand might be traditionally more relaxed compared to other militaries around the world; HOWEVER, what gives Americans might and strength is not numbers nor technology per se, but the importance is about survival. Survival brings out a lot of different qualities in human behavior, yet you mix that with the American grit and determination to fight back, somehow people get surprised by the results. Really this is a comparison of two different ideologies, the Communist vs the Enlightenment, two countries that are stubborn but time has shown which ideology just doesn’t make it. You have one society that indoctrinates and the other believes in free will. One who believes in their country being told they need to or there is consequences, and having so many blind spots as a result. And the other ideology that has people who actually believe in the causes, even with the knowledge of the flaws there is a true element of unity. One society is after being #1 to prove their ideology is superior, as the other society happened to stumble into the position of world leader and is more focused on trying to prevent WW3. Not saying the US never went into war for selfish reasons, but never was the intent to be the dominating nation in the world. That said, I do see a lot of issues we Americans do have to deal with first though, primarily DEI involved, get that crap out now and we have that chance. Honestly it’s not just Americans who should be concerned about DEI involved but every person that believes in democracy and a free society should speak out too. This might be political but I don’t care, it needs to get out of the requirement and stay out. Only those who can survive get to be involved in the US military, no exceptions.

There are several items which give the US an advantage. First, a new dispersed set of bases in the Philippines which makes US logistics and response times much better than from just the US mainland. USMC has small detachments with mobile anti-ship launchers in many small islands there would decimate the CCP navy. Second, advanced USAF tech such as Rapid Dragon which allows ordinary cargo planes to launch a multitude of long-range cruise missiles capable of hitting deep in China itself, not to mention US stealth fighters and bombers. Finally, US nuclear weapons would negate any possible nuclear threat from China. The CCP would lose bigtime.

Never matters how big your army is because experience matters more. 😂😂

9:45 one thing us military will always have over authoritarian states, the ability for low level soldiers to make decisions devoid of upper command. The freedom to find the right solution without waiting for orders.

The USA was a country freed by rebels. We fought the mighty British and won, although our armies were small and unsophisticated. Where there is will, there is might.

The war games didn't account that the Chinese missiles are filled with water 😂

Keep in mind, much of what is presented in this video shows technology that is being surpassed by newer systems that are more amazing than the last and latest you see here. The military would be crazy to let everyone know just what new innovations are coming down the pike and what other things are being developed to make the odds even better for the U.S. military. I can think of one particular newish weapon that was used for riot control that would be ideal for close combat situations.

Lewis, the quote you couldn't remember is "he who controls the sky controls the war"

Numbers are of little consequence when better trained and battle tested forces.

If you want to know how good China's military equipment is, all you have to do is look at how good they are at making buildings, bridges, and dams. A lot of their rockets are full of water instead of fuel and they have a hard time firing missiles because the bunker covers fail to open.

lasers were first used during war in the 00's in Iraq. they only tell you about current weapons after decades of use

This documentary really is counting smaller Chinese ships.Also the quality of Chinese ships are less.You need to watch other documentaries on Chinese navy ships

I'll tell you who would win: "Call of Duty" players, that's who'd win. _Imagine_ the game they'd put out after this conflict.

The second most powerful Navy in the world is Japanese. The Japanese could take the Chinese Navy in an open ocean battle.

Subs are already there. Silently waiting for orders

If you want a new channel to react to for US military stuff and just funny videos in general, I have to recommend the Habitual Line Crosser channel. He does a lot of funny shorts where he tries to characterize countries with accents and stuff but also does some longer videos that explains certain things about the military. This one is a short but he does a good job explaining concisely the kinds of things the US does to it's own military in wargames- we presume unfavorable conditions and disadvantages because we learn more from defeat than from victory and have to prepare for worst case scenarios on the fly. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-laLwaYjOWRM.html&ab_channel=HabitualLinecrosser

I would like to know if you would do a reaction to Audey Murphy from ww2?

The USA doesn't use water to fuel their rockets.

1. The US has a larger navy, navies are ranked by tonnage not number of vessels. It is the same thing as if you were to try and compare a speedboat with a machine gun on it to an aircraft carrier. 2. The part where the video says there will be 1,000 J20s in 2030 is BS, the first one to enter service was put on in 2017 and in 5 years the number has only grown to 20. 3. The best bet that the Chinese missile would have in reaching the ships would be in 1 massive barrage. Most of a US naval ships missile systems are meant to shoot down other missiles and planes.

They didn't mention the US Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Transportation, unless the US is at war, then the USCG transfers to the Navy and boosts the number of ships by a large amount.

The vast majority of simulations show the US is (last I checked) able to sink the entirety of the Chinese Navy only losing 20 ships

Of course these war games are worst case scenarios. Also the US often over states the dangers in order to keep the money coming.

One of the important things to remember about questions of "Who would win between the US and somebody else?" is the fact that any war fought against the US, unless the US started it themselves, will be fought against the US and the entirety of NATO. Not that the US would struggle to 1v1 any countries, but the fight would just be that much easier. Assuming nukes are off the table. And it's true the US doesn't have the largest navy in the world, but we do have 4 of the top 10 largest air forces in the world. The top is the US air force, with the 2nd being the US Army, 4th being the US Navy, and I think 8th being the US Marines. As for whether the US makes up for navy size by having better stuff? Yes. Absolutely, by a mile. US military tech is generations ahead of even our closest competitors. Benefits of a military budget that's been approaching a trillion dollars for a while now.

North Korea has the largest, i.e., most numerous, fleet of submarines. That certainly doesn't mean it's the most powerful. They're tiny, non-nuclear powered, etc. Likewise, China's stuff isn't so hot. Even India laughs at China's "stealth" aircraft.

I can attest that the US war games battles while handicapped. We take our best weapons off the board, assume perfect maintenance and logistics of the OpFor, and we assign an attrition rate to our forces that is unsustainable. This forces out of the box thinking by command to overcome unrealistic real world problems. One example of this is the Alaska games where they pitted a single F-22 against a half dozen of the newest French fighters, then take away some of the stealth capabilities of the F-22. In 5 sorties, the French barely won the first sortie... Barely... The next 4 were a bloodbath. They all died without firing a shot. So, when you hear of the US winning one of its wargames, it's not really just a win... It's complete dominance disguised as a struggle.

This would be at least a little unnerving, if it wasn't for the fact that Chinese propaganda always exaggerates their capabilities, and corruption is so rampant all of their militarys generals keep getting replaced. It's recently come out that the fuel used for their rockets are being sapped by their soldiers for use as cooking oil, with water being used as a replacement. Also, the Chinese "Father of (Chinese) Aircraft Carriers" is being tried for accepting bribes and the low quality of the carriers. They even removed components of a ship to install a market on ship because living conditions are so bad on it, with sailors using gunnery emplacements as hangars to dry clothes. "Tofu Dreg" projects are rampant while unemployment and store closures skyrocket, meanwhile the US his historically been known for severely handicapping itself during war games to gather information and experience on worst-case scenarios and form their strategies and doctrines with these in mind.

America messed with afghan and lost the war in afghan. Just how many u.s.objective meet its goal?

Bro this guy diesnt know what hes talking about. Sorry. US has bases all over the world. Supply lines wouldnt be near as ling as this guy thinks they will be. Logistically the US can send anything anywhere in hours not days

America could have taken over the world after ww2 with nukes, but they decided to help rebuild other countries, Hence the American bases in all the countries

I feel like a dick for this but they only have what the US let's them if the US military wanted to China would be east Arkansas also didn't they just find out alot of their rockets a missles have the fuel pulled out and replaced with water

rest assured if all of this is declassified for the public the american government already know way more and has a newer better plan. they don't tell anything new only obsolete information.

We purposefully hamstring ourselves in wargames We almost always lose because we have so many handicaps on us

Dude, your government is saying you need to be ready for conscription. What are your thoughts on that?

my small town in Oregon has air national guard and we are switching up to f35's, no doubt other air guard are making the move also. my town has a better air force than a great many countries.

I'm honestly more concerned about China's (or anyone's) ability to EMP the US electrical grid. Wouldn't even take a nuke to throw us into the Dark Ages.

America has a lot more nuke subs and aircraft carriers. China has a lot more little boats

Hopefully it doesn’t come to a real, hot war. The speed with which such a scenario would likely spiral out of control would indeed be devastating to global stability.

tiwan, the philipines and the japan would be aiding us during the battle.

Don't believe everything that's narrator is telling you

And we have the supercarriers

Don't forget all the Veterans in the United States and The National Guard and Reserve Units.
