Like Trojan Horses, Beware of China Fishing Ships! In 1949, within 30 days CCP PLA fishing ships completely annihilated 555,000 troops in their successful amphibious invasion of island of Hainan. They use wooden ships against battle tested troops in defensive positions with high end navy ships and tanks. Imagine what they will do against people with hunting rifles.
Why don't you make a useful video? E.g., how the US has successfully tested the world's first AIR launched truly hypersonic, i.e. fast and maneuverable, weapons. These can be launched from anywhere at anything. These are USEFUL weapons that would get actual USE, rather than be dust gathering nukes.
If Biden really wants to annoy the Chinese AND have a lot of FUN at the same time, the USA will sell these missiles to Taiwan... 2 options: 1. Xi Jinping says to himself, OK... THAT costs too much, it's not worth it, we'd rather not invade. We have enough problems at the moment. 2. Now especially... We don't let anyone dictate anything to us. As with Putin, it's just getting bigger. A shitty thought - and really scary. But a cool Video ... thank U. 🤗🤔 Have to think about it.
Do remember the US Army is also fond of its M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System, which has double the firing capacity of the same truck based HIMARS missles using the same palletised system. It also has the advantage of being fully tracked so it has no need for a basic road network to change locations, unlike HIMARS. Also that in an attack on Taiwan, Taiwan would have something to say about the amphibious ships, either armored or the commercial crap you seemed to think would be very helpful to a Chinese invasion.
Lot's of bots that are offended by Himars. I think more and more countries that do not seek expeditionary capabilities do not need ships to much extent at all. What they need are delivery systems and intelligence in order to defeat enemy ships far out at sea. Ukraine has created a dilemma for Russia that there is no solution to, and thus done extremely well in the naval war. I think that the next generation of sea-drones will be even worse to the imperial russian fleet. I also hope Ukraine will get more himars-systems, and more capable missiles in greater numbers! As a Norwegian I really hope our government is taking a serious look at aquiring himars.
Have you seen NMESIS? It's similar to HIMARS but with an autonomous mobile launch system that carries NSM. If you're interested in USV, look up task force 59. Ocean aero Triton.

With Himars as a multi role missile launcher it is not possible to determine where the anti-ship missiles are stationed. There was a camouflage cover on the atacms rocket pod, you couldn't see whether a normal pod was loaded with 6 rockets like glmrs or an atacms missile. New weapons will have similar camouflage.

@SilenTHerO78614 It's Binkov's war gaming scenario, therefore responsibility to articulate key dependencies. He can hand wave it if he wishes to omit in favour of more time discussing weapon system, but it must be acknowledged.
The two Ukrainian missiles that sunk the 11,500 ton displacement guided missile cruiser Moskva had only 150kg/330lbs w#r heads. In case of a ballistic missile quite a bit of additional kinetic energy will come on top, from the higher speed. I think the smaller w#r heads will do just fine.
That does seem a bit sketchy though, generally warheads that small shouldn't be able to sink a ship that size without a large number of hits. It's likely the Russians had very poor damage control procedures or the missiles triggered secondary detonations.
Prsm on the himars will be really hard to find, especially with how many good places to hide in the Philippines. The range will allow the to hit ship landing on the beach
You don't have to sink a ship to make it inoperable. Targeting sensors, radars, radio antennas, satellite links etc. will make most combat ineffective and essentially leave it a sitting duck for more powerful but more easily defended weapons to completely destroy it if desired.
The US Marines have changed their strategy and gave a big chunk of their Abrams tanks to the Army and are replacing them with the Nmesis anti ship portable missile launcher and there tactic is to have them stationed on islands with 100 marines.
@wmk4454 How many anti-ship missiles have been tried in combat? Perhaps the Exocet, in the Falkland's or the Silkworm, the Exocet was a killer, but the only sea targets a Silkworm, hit was a slow mover. Us anti-ships missiles have been tested ad-nauseum, and work even copies of Harpoon, like the Neptune have no problem sinking Russian ships. Sea skimming missiles with stealth are all subsonic, so, don't look down your nose at them.
@wmk4454 I joined the Navy in 1968, even back then we were testing many different anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-air weapon, the intensity of research, development has only intensified. We even did research and testing of energy weapons and counter ECM, back then. Anyone now claiming superiority in weapons is a child new to the game.
@wmk4454 Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you will see it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.💊💊
@@AdamosDad If anything, history shows us anti-air defenses on ships are not a thing. Even if ships shoot down anti-ship missiles at 100%... the aircraft launching them can be back with another salvo in an hour or two. How long before your ship runs out of air defence? I'm firmly in the camp that surface ships are not a thing in modern great power conflict. They are only coming after the battle is already won... otherwise they are simply cannon fodder.
@@technokicksyourass So what is going to do the fighting on the open ocean then? Submarines? Too few, can't be everywhere, can't do everything. Aircraft are also somewhat limited in range and capabilities, but most importantly loitering time.
You forgot to take into account the anti ship missiles of the ROC land launched. Combined with Americans they would exhaust the defences of any Chinese ship.
The United States has a short to intermediate range ballistic missile coming out this year. We haven’t had anything like this since the Pershing missile because of treaty requirements but since Russia wanted out of the treaty that’s fine but that works both ways. I don’t think these missiles will have nuclear tips on them. They are also starting to equip the Tomahawk cruise missile with a 50 KT warhead. We used to have these but were dismantled because of treaty obligations. No more treaty. Russias decision. And the Tomahawks some of them Have a maximum range of 1500 miles. Not kilometers miles.
The US Marines are adopting a similar strategy by ditching the M1 Abrams for the NMESIS anti ship launcher, the strategy is to station NMESIS with 100 marines on the islands surrounded Taiwan and in the pacific. They can also redeploy among the islands if needed.
That would cripple the country's economy and make the daily lives for its citizens hard. Would literally be forcing Iran's hand and driving the US and Iran closer to war. Not to point out doing that to another country does not look good Internationally And who's to say Iran wouldn't Do something of equal measure Back to America.
Only if they can be guided to a target. We don't know yet how well the prsm can stand up to electronic attack or kinetic air defenses. Its not like Chinese anti ship Ballistic missles which we know will become useless as soon as they lack the extremely vulnerable satalites required for guidance.
The Philippines now has Brahmos batteries with a range of 900 kms. Based in Ilocos, it will deny the PLAN South Sea Fleet access to the Luzon Strait. With US missiles on Okinawa, the eastern coast of Taiwan should be safe from any PLAN surface ship activity.
Let's just hope we can deter them.. Although I doubt that.. China always thought the time is on their side and there's no hurry in reclaiming Taiwan.. But that way of thinking was based on the presumed fact that the Chinese GDP will continuously grow at 7-9% and that the American downfall was imminent.. First the pundits said that China would become the largest economy by the year 2020, then it was 2025. Of course that's BS so now they say by 2030 China will definitely step over USA and become the top dog.. But then again, maybe not... Chinese economy is in serious problems. GDP growth rates are extremely low for China. So the Communist party realized that they have maybe a few years in which to try and invade Taiwan... That won't happen of course cause Japan, Philippines, Australia, India and S Korea are rearming massively too.. The missiles will unfortunately fly.. We will see another great war...
Small comment about the ATACMS booster used on the X51. While it is true that the weight of the X51 is comparable to the weight of a ATACMS (early version), you can't really compare the speed this way. The X51 was air launched. This provides the X51 with the speed of the carrier on one hand and reduces the "gravity-drag" the missile experiences while launching from the ground. For a missile with the T/W ratio of the X51, that's roughly equivalent to a 450 to 600 m/s increase in delta-V. Early ATACMS likely reached mach 3, with later versions (lighter warhead and improved guidance system) being closer to Mach 4. Which would also be consistant with the official figures for the Range.
So it's smaller than the ATAMS; then how does it compare to the ER GMLRS in terms of diameter? Also, I'm a big believer in breaking the keel. Can you get info on the latest version(s) of the ASROC? I believe it's still deployed. Love that system!
The US must begin testing the effectiveness of these missiles immediately by letting Ukraine try them out in real battle conditions vs the Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
Is there any missile that relies only in kinetic impact or maybe with a very small explosive payload? I mean, if the speed it's enough then a big impact could be enough to apply big damage to a ship or building. With modern guidance methods you can only rely in the fuel and small explosives to bring big damage. If the explosive payload is small or none at all, the weight can be used for fuel and more sturdy shell to give more penetration.
I don’t believe so, at least not for antiship missions. If your speed is too high, it may go right through the ship (depending on where you hit). You can see this in test footage of regular explosive missiles. Also, unless you hit some highly flammable area (say ammunition store), without a warhead it may not cause enough of an explosion to seriously damage the ship, let alone sink it; remember, fire drills are probably the most rehearsed exercise in a well-trained warship, at least in Western navies (they don’t let “cigarettes” cause loose fires thar “sink” ships like the Russians do, or said it did). As far as I know only some anti-air missiles and tank rounds (sabot) rely on pure kinetic energy to take out their targets, but for different reasons. Air targets are fragile, and tanks have small internal spaces full of ammunition (a bouncing round inside the tank would likely kill the crew by itself without a big explosion).
It's interesting to see how the Philippines involvement in this scenario for the launching point of HIMARS' PRISM and ATACMs. It didn't just cover parts of Taiwan but also those Chinese artificial islands in the South China Sea. The Philippine Army is highly interested in HIMARS and Brahmos, while the Philippine Marine Corps is awaiting the deliver of their ordered Brahmos for their A2/AD strategy.
Hopefully this can be integrated with the Mk41 VLS. Might even be able to get it dual-packed if the 1*ATACMS=2*PRISM per M270 or HIMARS equation holds. Having a fast anti-ship weapon to fire back at the enemy will be a step in the right direction. Peace.
China also have similar HIMARS systems with similar range of ballistic missiles with similar Surface to Surface mission profiles. Can HIMARS survive on such a small island? And if US fire any missiles in this scenario it pretty much means 2 biggest nuclear states are fighting a hot war with quick escalations
The First Island Chain consists of over 10,000 islands. China's coast is literally surrounded. All of their warships are within range including their shipyards
@@IsraelMilitaryChannel most are quite small and under constant surveillance by China as well as US. Discount their ability to counter at your own peril
We have heard rumors of a Chinese army but i have seen no such thing A man in a uniform is not a soldier, it takes much more then some shorts and a button up
As of May 2023, Taiwan has 29 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers: 2020: The US State Department approved the sale of 11 HIMARS launchers to Taiwan 2022: Taiwan added 18 more launchers 2023: Taiwan announced the purchase of an additional 18 launchers The Taiwanese military plans to deploy the first batch of HIMARS in the western, northern, central, and southern parts of the country. The HIMARS can hit targets up to 70 km away using guided or unguided MFOMs, and up to 300 km away with the MGM-142 ATACMS. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence says the HIMARS will help strengthen the country's asymmetric combat capabilities and precision strike capabilities
I wonder how easy or hard it will be to upgrade increment 1 to increment 2. One thing that could affect how many missiles that enter service with the U.S. military are exports, as Australia has supposedly joined the Increment 2 program and should be receiving some. The British military has also expressed interest, so they might be a potential third operator
At this point in history any potential invasion buildup will be seen months in advance. the question for China is would the juice be worth the squeeze. The US has an advantage of being an oil producing nation but I really hope this is just all posturing from both sides.
Naval version of rapid dragon is needed. Since Congress and Parliament seem utterly incapable of properly funding the USN and RN, both navies ought to each requisition at least a hundred merchant vessels (preferably smaller and faster) and oitfit them with HIMARS, Tomahawks, and LRASMs (or at least extra harpoon/exocet launchers), CWIS or RIMs, and artillery pieces with fire control. The British Merchant fleet is huge (between UK/caymans/Bermuda and Bahams and Malta), and though the US doesnt have a vast merchant marine the Marianas and Marshalls have a sizable number of ships. Some sort of deal could be worked out. A naval varient of rapid dragon would immediately cancel out China's quantitative edge, and would actually further enforce the qualitative edge of rhe USN (as well well as triple RN power projection, at least by freeing all front line ships from second line duties)

Ukraine is showing us that massive numbers of drones drones are very effective against water and land based systems. How many drones could be built for the hundreds of missiles that would have to be deployed?
two things. one, drones don't have the speed to hit targets of opportunity at that range. two, unlike the Russian navy, the PLAN defensive systems probably actually work, as in actually turn on, so slow drones are much less likely to work.
Global Militaries of ANY country are like rich kids at this point. Seeing the other kid have advanced and cool toys and they want one too. "Hey! I (Military General) got a cool new missile!"

I don’t think this is accurate. Pershing was designed to attack targets on land, carried a nuclear warhead (primarily), and was not particularly accurate
Really interesting that US Army is seeking anti-ship missiles too (rather than just the Navy). Also Binkov, is it possible to increase the frame rate to 30 from 25 frames per second? The reason is that devices support 60 fps and as 60 isn't an integer multiple, it can cause judder.
@@neniAAinen Nope. HIMARS was developed at the request of the US Army 9th Infantry Division. The Army operates both HIMARS and the M270 MLRS. Its initial contract was with the Army after the program was developed privately by Lockheed Martin to fill the requested need.

@@a_kazakis I love contra opinions, but Houthis was 1st known from entire human history. 2 years ago was just handicapped Russia, but now the combined might of US & EU is not enough to take out even a rebel force.
@@IQstrategy lol your name is ironic. China is 100% self reliant in staples and always has been. What you need to worry about is where Americans get their food after China blocades American access to imported fertilizers, imported parts for tractors, imported parts for trucks, and imported parts for food processors. It's not even theoretical, I mean what's US food inflation again? Just because of "supply chain disruption"? And oil isn't energy, oil is oil, China's energy come from coal, solar, wind and Chinese cars are electric, the oil China does import can easily come via land, I mean does the US import Canadian oil via ships? America runs $1 trillion trade deficit and imports drive almost 2/3 of the entire US consumption based economy. What you need to think about is how to survive after China cuts you off from human civilization.
Yap, Quicksink is a mean little bugger, but unfortunately not the first strike weapon... But in the combination with NSM for example who knows? That being said I still can't accept the fact that the US Navy choose the Naval strike missile as it's primary ship born and launched anti ship missile. The range, speed and warhead are all abysmal.. Sure, it's a massive upgrade compared to the aging Harpoon, but getting invested heavily in the Mach 0,9 missile with the 260 pound warhead and the range of around 120 miles, while you already have the missiles like LRASM operational, is nonsensical.. I mean LRASM, although also a subsonic design, is order of magnitude more dangerous than the NSM. LRASM sports a ground braking autonomous targeting system based on AI, a massive 1000 lb warhead and the range in excess of 250 miles... Oh yes, LRASM can also be fired from a Mark 41 VLS that is found on all US surface combatants. And knowing all that we went with the NSM.. Why?? I understand it's a smaller and lighter missile, so you can put a few of them on ships that don't have VLS tubes or are small, but for the Burkes and Ticos, there should have been only LRASM for now and the soon to be developed Anti surface Increment 2, which is thought will be a hypersonic missile.. Oh, I digress... Quicksink should go in tandem with NSM cause NSM won't be able to sink a corvette, let alone the Type 055 destroyer.

Prsm on the himars will be really hard to find, especially with how many good places to hide in the Philippines. The range will allow the to hit ship landing on the beach
Reference S-400: when are we going to stop accepting Russian claims about a weapon system’s capabilities as factual?
Comrade, it was pleasurable to see you appear on camera in this week’s installment.
Obviously the M270 also would be able to fire it, and 4 at a time.
I wonder if a submarine-launched option has been explored? That could be a bit of a game-changer.
Winnie the Pooh must have gotten big mad to set his minions off this much.
If Boeing is making it I wouldn't be worried 😂
They do it for free.
You don't have to sink a ship to make it inoperable. Targeting sensors, radars, radio antennas, satellite links etc. will make most combat ineffective and essentially leave it a sitting duck for more powerful but more easily defended weapons to completely destroy it if desired.
The US Marines have changed their strategy and gave a big chunk of their Abrams tanks to the Army and are replacing them with the Nmesis anti ship portable missile launcher and there tactic is to have them stationed on islands with 100 marines.

Oh we have all seen how well s400 works... not great
Those launchers have better success at intercepting something than the missiles themselves if youknow what I mean :D
In it's day the Harpoon missile set the standard for anti-ship missiles.
The AGM-158C LRASM stealth air launch anti-ship missile is also already in our arsenal.
@wmk4454 How many anti-ship missiles have been tried in combat? Perhaps the Exocet, in the Falkland's or the Silkworm, the Exocet was a killer, but the only sea targets a Silkworm, hit was a slow mover. Us anti-ships missiles have been tested ad-nauseum, and work even copies of Harpoon, like the Neptune have no problem sinking Russian ships. Sea skimming missiles with stealth are all subsonic, so, don't look down your nose at them.
@wmk4454 I joined the Navy in 1968, even back then we were testing many different anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-air weapon, the intensity of research, development has only intensified. We even did research and testing of energy weapons and counter ECM, back then. Anyone now claiming superiority in weapons is a child new to the game.
@wmk4454 Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you will see it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.💊💊
@@AdamosDad If anything, history shows us anti-air defenses on ships are not a thing. Even if ships shoot down anti-ship missiles at 100%... the aircraft launching them can be back with another salvo in an hour or two. How long before your ship runs out of air defence? I'm firmly in the camp that surface ships are not a thing in modern great power conflict. They are only coming after the battle is already won... otherwise they are simply cannon fodder.
@@technokicksyourass So what is going to do the fighting on the open ocean then? Submarines? Too few, can't be everywhere, can't do everything. Aircraft are also somewhat limited in range and capabilities, but most importantly loitering time.
There was a variant of the ATACM that was to be fired from the Mk41 VLS as an ASW missile carrying a torpedo at longer range than ASROC
Isn’t the Marines the ones ditching their tanks for the Nmesis anti ship mobile launcher so they can rapidly deploy them on islands near Taiwan.
Yes. USMC tanks are already gone. Actually, a few of their old M1A1s were the ones provided to Ukraine.
@@VisibilityFoggy I think they are keeping a small amount and gave the rest to the army.
You forgot to take into account the anti ship missiles of the ROC land launched. Combined with Americans they would exhaust the defences of any Chinese ship.
The United States has a short to intermediate range ballistic missile coming out this year. We haven’t had anything like this since the Pershing missile because of treaty requirements but since Russia wanted out of the treaty that’s fine but that works both ways. I don’t think these missiles will have nuclear tips on them. They are also starting to equip the Tomahawk cruise missile with a 50 KT warhead. We used to have these but were dismantled because of treaty obligations. No more treaty. Russias decision. And the Tomahawks some of them
Have a maximum range of 1500 miles. Not kilometers miles.
”Russian Arms Export Agency claims…” 😀 Sure they do!
Cold War 2.0 will be more interesting than the 1.0 version
The US Marines are adopting a similar strategy by ditching the M1 Abrams for the NMESIS anti ship launcher, the strategy is to station NMESIS with 100 marines on the islands surrounded Taiwan and in the pacific. They can also redeploy among the islands if needed.
THANKS 🇺🇸
Those should be shipped to Ukraine then for some live tests...
Odd question: What about severing Iran from the internet?
That would cripple the country's economy and make the daily lives for its citizens hard. Would literally be forcing Iran's hand and driving the US and Iran closer to war. Not to point out doing that to another country does not look good Internationally And who's to say Iran wouldn't Do something of equal measure Back to America.
So.... Anti ship ballistic missiles are useful now?
Only if they can be guided to a target. We don't know yet how well the prsm can stand up to electronic attack or kinetic air defenses. Its not like Chinese anti ship Ballistic missles which we know will become useless as soon as they lack the extremely vulnerable satalites required for guidance.
Marines already has the tomahawk land base missle
Different type of missile. That's a cruise missile.

The Philippines now has Brahmos batteries with a range of 900 kms. Based in Ilocos, it will deny the PLAN South Sea Fleet access to the Luzon Strait. With US missiles on Okinawa, the eastern coast of Taiwan should be safe from any PLAN surface ship activity.
Let's just hope we can deter them.. Although I doubt that.. China always thought the time is on their side and there's no hurry in reclaiming Taiwan.. But that way of thinking was based on the presumed fact that the Chinese GDP will continuously grow at 7-9% and that the American downfall was imminent.. First the pundits said that China would become the largest economy by the year 2020, then it was 2025. Of course that's BS so now they say by 2030 China will definitely step over USA and become the top dog.. But then again, maybe not... Chinese economy is in serious problems. GDP growth rates are extremely low for China. So the Communist party realized that they have maybe a few years in which to try and invade Taiwan... That won't happen of course cause Japan, Philippines, Australia, India and S Korea are rearming massively too.. The missiles will unfortunately fly.. We will see another great war...
@@markbrisec3972 Or maybe China will just chicken out and we might not see that great war 😊
Small comment about the ATACMS booster used on the X51. While it is true that the weight of the X51 is comparable to the weight of a ATACMS (early version), you can't really compare the speed this way.
The X51 was air launched. This provides the X51 with the speed of the carrier on one hand and reduces the "gravity-drag" the missile experiences while launching from the ground. For a missile with the T/W ratio of the X51, that's roughly equivalent to a 450 to 600 m/s increase in delta-V. Early ATACMS likely reached mach 3, with later versions (lighter warhead and improved guidance system) being closer to Mach 4. Which would also be consistant with the official figures for the Range.
Imagine if Ukraine had access to 500 km range ground-to-ground missiles. They could threaten ALL of the Black Sea.
They have those before the war.
Big hit on China's Eastern side strategy.
So it's smaller than the ATAMS; then how does it compare to the ER GMLRS in terms of diameter?
Also, I'm a big believer in breaking the keel. Can you get info on the latest version(s) of the ASROC? I believe it's still deployed. Love that system!
US Army is going all in on the ship-sinking business.
And business will be good in the Western Pacific.
Makes sense. Most of our enemies need to sail here to get to us.
The US must begin testing the effectiveness of these missiles immediately by letting Ukraine try them out in real battle conditions vs the Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
Why would they give another nation the chance to learn about the capabilities of their system?
Why? Russia can't bring anything through the Bosporus straight anyway.
@@shaun469 What does that have to do with testing missiles against Russian ships that are currently on the Black Sea?
@@blazunlimited that its a stupid idea.
This prism missile is really pointy, admiral Aladeen would be proud
If their ships are as tough as their skyscrappers and apartment buildings, just wait it out.
Chinesium dissolves in water.
Is there any missile that relies only in kinetic impact or maybe with a very small explosive payload? I mean, if the speed it's enough then a big impact could be enough to apply big damage to a ship or building. With modern guidance methods you can only rely in the fuel and small explosives to bring big damage. If the explosive payload is small or none at all, the weight can be used for fuel and more sturdy shell to give more penetration.
Its not that easy to use any electronics if the missile is covered in a plasma cloud.
I don’t believe so, at least not for antiship missions. If your speed is too high, it may go right through the ship (depending on where you hit). You can see this in test footage of regular explosive missiles. Also, unless you hit some highly flammable area (say ammunition store), without a warhead it may not cause enough of an explosion to seriously damage the ship, let alone sink it; remember, fire drills are probably the most rehearsed exercise in a well-trained warship, at least in Western navies (they don’t let “cigarettes” cause loose fires thar “sink” ships like the Russians do, or said it did).
As far as I know only some anti-air missiles and tank rounds (sabot) rely on pure kinetic energy to take out their targets, but for different reasons. Air targets are fragile, and tanks have small internal spaces full of ammunition (a bouncing round inside the tank would likely kill the crew by itself without a big explosion).
Deep blue navy with experience🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's interesting to see how the Philippines involvement in this scenario for the launching point of HIMARS' PRISM and ATACMs. It didn't just cover parts of Taiwan but also those Chinese artificial islands in the South China Sea.
The Philippine Army is highly interested in HIMARS and Brahmos, while the Philippine Marine Corps is awaiting the deliver of their ordered Brahmos for their A2/AD strategy.
S-400 is absolute shit. HIMARS destroys it every time.
Super hitech pricy weapons vs shovels with old washing machine chips..
❤️🇺🇸🇹🇼❤️
🙂👍
Hopefully this can be integrated with the Mk41 VLS. Might even be able to get it dual-packed if the 1*ATACMS=2*PRISM per M270 or HIMARS equation holds.
Having a fast anti-ship weapon to fire back at the enemy will be a step in the right direction.
Peace.
China also have similar HIMARS systems with similar range of ballistic missiles with similar Surface to Surface mission profiles. Can HIMARS survive on such a small island?
And if US fire any missiles in this scenario it pretty much means 2 biggest nuclear states are fighting a hot war with quick escalations

We, the descendants of the Companions, were born to fight
As of May 2023, Taiwan has 29 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers:
2020: The US State Department approved the sale of 11 HIMARS launchers to Taiwan
2022: Taiwan added 18 more launchers
2023: Taiwan announced the purchase of an additional 18 launchers
The Taiwanese military plans to deploy the first batch of HIMARS in the western, northern, central, and southern parts of the country. The HIMARS can hit targets up to 70 km away using guided or unguided MFOMs, and up to 300 km away with the MGM-142 ATACMS. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence says the HIMARS will help strengthen the country's asymmetric combat capabilities and precision strike capabilities
Wow lots of bots today
It's an election year 😅
Ikr. It’s weird.
I wonder how easy or hard it will be to upgrade increment 1 to increment 2. One thing that could affect how many missiles that enter service with the U.S. military are exports, as Australia has supposedly joined the Increment 2 program and should be receiving some. The British military has also expressed interest, so they might be a potential third operator
At this point in history any potential invasion buildup will be seen months in advance. the question for China is would the juice be worth the squeeze. The US has an advantage of being an oil producing nation but I really hope this is just all posturing from both sides.
中国不是入侵而是统一隔着海岸的台湾而已，另外石油生产国是什么优势？没有中国，美国甚至无法收到来自墨西哥或者其他国家的工业品
虽然不了解你说的优势是什么，不过中国也是世界第五大石油生产国，并且中石化每年还向国外出口一亿吨原油，中国虽然是世界最大粮食进口国，但是中国是世界最大粮食生产国而且每年粮食产量还在增加，中国实际上也是世界第三大粮食出口国，所以你们认为的中国会缺乏矿产能源其实是多余的，因为战时中国不需要出口也就不需要太多石油，中国还在发展太阳能光伏新能源，现在中国越来越多的私家车公交车变成电动驾驶，中国其实还封存了很多油田作为战略储备，所以中国一定能够打一场持续几十年的战争，而美国需要考虑的是如果与中国发生战争，那么美国商场如何收到大量商品，那些商品可不会凭空出现
Posturing wouldn’t have gone as far.
China is also a major oil producer. So what advantage are you talking about?
Whoa lots of long replies when i havent even said anything that would remotely go in either direction.
Naval version of rapid dragon is needed.
Since Congress and Parliament seem utterly incapable of properly funding the USN and RN, both navies ought to each requisition at least a hundred merchant vessels (preferably smaller and faster) and oitfit them with HIMARS, Tomahawks, and LRASMs (or at least extra harpoon/exocet launchers), CWIS or RIMs, and artillery pieces with fire control.
The British Merchant fleet is huge (between UK/caymans/Bermuda and Bahams and Malta), and though the US doesnt have a vast merchant marine the Marianas and Marshalls have a sizable number of ships. Some sort of deal could be worked out.
A naval varient of rapid dragon would immediately cancel out China's quantitative edge, and would actually further enforce the qualitative edge of rhe USN (as well well as triple RN power projection, at least by freeing all front line ships from second line duties)
The US army is getting mobile launchers that can throw the Tomahawk. That should scare the hell out of any of our adversaries.
Not for China and Russia .

Correct me if I’m wrong, China today excels in ballistic anti ship missile but they are actually inspired by a U.S. missile called Pershing
I don’t think this is accurate. Pershing was designed to attack targets on land, carried a nuclear warhead (primarily), and was not particularly accurate
Nah China copied most of its missile designs from Russia, not the US.
Americans do like to steal credit for technology they don't have.

It's not even theoretical, I mean what's US food inflation again? Just because of "supply chain disruption"?
And oil isn't energy, oil is oil, China's energy come from coal, solar, wind and Chinese cars are electric, the oil China does import can easily come via land, I mean does the US import Canadian oil via ships?

If you want to sink a ship after a mission kill, you can use something cheap like Quicksink.
Yap, Quicksink is a mean little bugger, but unfortunately not the first strike weapon... But in the combination with NSM for example who knows? That being said I still can't accept the fact that the US Navy choose the Naval strike missile as it's primary ship born and launched anti ship missile. The range, speed and warhead are all abysmal.. Sure, it's a massive upgrade compared to the aging Harpoon, but getting invested heavily in the Mach 0,9 missile with the 260 pound warhead and the range of around 120 miles, while you already have the missiles like LRASM operational, is nonsensical.. I mean LRASM, although also a subsonic design, is order of magnitude more dangerous than the NSM.
LRASM sports a ground braking autonomous targeting system based on AI, a massive 1000 lb warhead and the range in excess of 250 miles... Oh yes, LRASM can also be fired from a Mark 41 VLS that is found on all US surface combatants. And knowing all that we went with the NSM.. Why??
I understand it's a smaller and lighter missile, so you can put a few of them on ships that don't have VLS tubes or are small, but for the Burkes and Ticos, there should have been only LRASM for now and the soon to be developed Anti surface Increment 2, which is thought will be a hypersonic missile..
Oh, I digress... Quicksink should go in tandem with NSM cause NSM won't be able to sink a corvette, let alone the Type 055 destroyer.
