    China’s virus death toll could actually be 17,000% higher than admitted in Covid cover up, claims analyst

    Agree that China is almost certainly LYING every time they open their mouths, but our media is about as bad. The cannot not live without the word COULD and MAY and AS MUCH AS and UP TO. OC

    Mil Intelligence US alleges Chinese spy balloon flew over sensitive military sites

    They say it was a 'Sidewinder' but the Sidewinder is a heat seeker, and there was clearly an explosion so it is too early to say. Maybe a Proximity Fuse of some sort. OC

    Mil Intelligence US alleges Chinese spy balloon flew over sensitive military sites

    The US "humiliation" is now over, the thing has been downed by the humiliated USAF. Well done considering the type of target and the situation. I wonder if we will find out just what the gear was in/on it? OC

    Mil Intelligence US alleges Chinese spy balloon flew over sensitive military sites

    At 60,000 feet plus it s a BIG job getting a missile etc that high. The target is just a bit of fabric and/or plastic, and a bullet hole will take far too long to leak the gas. I am fairly sure the balloon is unpowered and subject to winds and stratopheric conditions to progress. It will...

    All six of Australia's Collins-class submarines to undergo life-of-type extensions

    Not sure what can fit in a Collins. Will a Tomahawk fit in a 21 inch tube? But we have no choice, the Collins MUST be available for as long as we can keep them. Plus a couple of old Los Angeles are better than nothing, and a good trainer for when the Virginias? arrive, The British...

    China Claims of China's incursions into Taiwan's AIDZ

    I await the brave Chinese overflying the island of Taiwan any time soon. My bet is that if they try then the wreckage will land in Taipei itself, or points south. And brave "incursions" by the PLAN and PLAAF over a quiet corner of the AIDZ are just wasting fuel with empty threats. OC

    Russia Land Forces and Vehicles Programs

    Poor little Ukraine has been giving the peace loving Russians a hiding for about a year. Russian tanks are crap and her APCs etc are even worse. Her planes are not game to overfly the battefield, and the much boasted cruiser 'Moskva' is resting peacefully on the bottom of the Black Sea...

    Russia Land Forces and Vehicles Programs

    I refer to the Russians as "the gunners", "we are gunna win this and we are gunna win that, and we are gunna defeat those Americans. And our tanks, planes, and ships are INVINCIBLE"! Same as Saddam, all over in 100 hours and he ended up dancing at the end of a rope. OC

    Russia Land Forces and Vehicles Programs

    My money is on the Abrams, I give little cred to Russian claims for ANY of its military gear. Decades of boasting about how great it all was is out the window after 11 months of trying to subjugate Ukraine. I am hard pressed to find one trully successful item in the Russian arsenal that has...

    China Chinese PLA holds landing drills in E.China Sea with new landing craft

    Any info on the troop carrying capacity of these landing craft? Given that Day 1 of any invasion will require well over 150,000 troops, the need for everything from LSTs to 'Higgins boats' will be on a par with Overlord. OC

    Japan and Australia are poised to sign an expanded security declaration as China's military might increases

    Agree very much. They seem to have forgotten that old Chinese? proverb:- "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar" If China had any foresight they would have charmed the pants off Taiwan 40 years ago, or maybe about the same time as the change over of Hong Kong. Now the...

    Is Taiwan Next?

    The last time China tried to capture Kinmen they were given a terrible hiding. The entire force was dead or POWs. OC

    Is Taiwan Next?

    There is no logic in such an expectation. The average Taiwanese citizen can see what is happening in Hong Kong, Tibet, and to the Urghars. They will fight if they have to. OC

    Japan and Australia are poised to sign an expanded security declaration as China's military might increases

    The more our peace loving Chinese brothers rattle the sabre at all her neighbours, and threatens every island and reef she can plant a flag on, then her neighbours are going to wake up and get prepared. One nation will not deter the Chinese, but 15 nations will. The world has learned the...

    Is Taiwan Next?

    "China won't do it, Chinese don't fight Chinese" Does that mean that all the bovine excreta, sabre rattling and threats is just that, Bovine Excreta Maximus? I say yet again, Taiwan is NOT stupid, and she will not poke the dragon for no good reason. She will bide her time and build the...

    Is Taiwan Next?

    ........and as I like to point out, ALL of the Chinese soldiers and airmen are an ONLY CHILD, and if he carries his parents DNA into the Taiwan Strait Mum and Dad are going to be VERY angry. Emporer Xi will be about #99 on the Chinese popularity poll and the CCP will be #100. OC
