Is China Preparing for War?

[Mordoch]

Taiwan is also not simply standing still defense wise either. For instance, recently they commisioned the first of a series of stealth patrol boats armed missile anti-shipping missiles. Stealth would seem to be particularly effective in this instance since the patrol boats are pretty small in the first place, giving them an inherently small radar profile. The ships apparently can use targetting data from other ships to locate their target, so they can fire without revealing their position.

The navy said the "stealth" boat, designed to reduce the reflection of radar waves, measures 34.2 meters (113 feet) and is capable of cruising at a maximum speed of 33 knots.

Analysts said the boat may be able to "passively" receive intelligence collected by other Taiwan warships and enable the fleet to launch missile blitzes against targeted enemy warships without exposing their location.

Each missile boat will be armed with four locally-made Hsiungfeng II missiles.

When the Germany first meet the T-34 in combat it outmatch all their tanks they have. It have than air-cooled engine ideal for use in very cold climate, extras wide thead so it can travel over snow and mud without getting stuch in the mud. Russia in the steppas can have at time jorning certain season 6 to 8 feet of mud. The USSR have hardary any modern road to support cars or tanks. In 1941 all Germany Tanks where equip to fight in Europe where you didnot have 6 to 8 feets of mud in the country and where modern road for fast travel was widespead. The guns on the germany tank where unable to penerate the T-34 armour while the T-34 76mm guns destory germany tank. It was the disuse of their T-34 that gave the germany than advange.

For they planned invasion of England the Germany make 90 Pk IV tanks able to swim underwater for than dept of 90 feet to enable than tanks carrying ship to offload then far from the beach and the tank would have drive up into the beach. China have time to impove on this idear. The Germany first invase Russia have to cross than wide river with no brige on it so their use this tank to travel underwater to get to the other side to make than armoued beach head for their infantry units.
