A margine e pur se della marina è un discorso più vasto. Soprattutto ora che si parla di addestramento e "post sovietizzazione" avvenuta o meno di russi, ucraini e per ovvia estensione cinesi..

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/06/china-launches-first-aircraft-carrier-which-rivals-u-s-navys/

In recent months the first carrier Liaoning was operating in the open waters of the Western Pacific. Japanese defense officials noted that over 100 aircraft launches were undertaken. This shows a significant operational tempo. It is indicative of growing confidence and credibility in the aircraft carrier game. 

 

Questi sono numeri elevati. Tra l'altro da una configurazione con ski jump. E dalla prima della classe la retrofit Varyag.

La Cina ha condotto con successo un test ABM ...

Cita

China successfully conducted an anti-ballistic missile test on Sunday night, according to the country's Defense Ministry, part of ongoing military efforts to enhance the country's defensive capabilities.
It was a land-based mid-course missile tested within China's borders, the ministry said in a brief statement (*), adding the test was defensive in nature and not targeted against any country.
Anti-ballistic missile systems are meant to shield a country from potential attacks by using projectiles to intercept incoming missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). 
Some analysts liken it to shooting down a bullet with another bullet.

FBI e MI5 hanno diramato un avviso congiunto relativo alle operazioni di spionaggio a livello mondiale della Cina ...

Cita

The director of the FBI and head of the United Kingdom’s domestic intelligence arm warned China’s continued “planned professional activity” of worldwide espionage poses an increasing danger to their countries’ national security, technological developments in aerospace and communications and long-term economic well-being.
“We consistently see that it’s the Chinese government that poses the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray at a joint appearance Wednesday in MI5’s London headquarters. 
”By ‘our,’ I mean both of our nations, along with our allies in Europe and elsewhere.”
Beijing is no longer “flying under the radar” as a major threat, Wray said.
MI5 Director Gen. Ken McCallum said the Chinese government’s “covert pressure across the globe” amounts to “the most game-changing challenge we face.”

Cita

A Chinese fighter jet had an “unsafe” and “unprofessional” interaction with a U.S. special operations C-130 aircraft in the South China Sea last month, according to two people with knowledge of the incident.
The interaction, which has not been previously reported, comes amid more aggressive military actions by Chinese pilots in the East and South China seas in recent months involving Australian and Canadian aircraft. 
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin condemned the behavior in Singapore last month.
“We’ve seen an alarming increase in the number of unsafe aerial intercepts and confrontations at sea by PLA aircraft and vessels,” Austin said. 
“This should worry us all.”

La Marina Indiana si espande per affrontare la minaccia cinese e per migliorare la collaborazione con gli alleati ...

Cita

For most of its existence, the Indian Navy has been in a state of perpetual modernization. 
Due to its major shipbuilding programs’ long schedules and the continual need to replace older platforms with new ones – especially submarines – Delhi has been unable to meet its shipbuilding goals.
Since 1948 the Indians have wanted a two-carrier navy with a fleet of 142 ships. 
While the IN remains far off from achieving that goal, it is growing and adding capability to the fleet.
The bet from the Indian Navy is if it can speed up its submarine programs, improve mine-counter measures capability and shape up its carrier force and air wing – the service can stay competitive with China and operate better with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Republic of Korea Navy and the Royal Australian Navy.
India sustains a mix of state-owned and private shipbuilders. 
Despite problems in keeping to schedule and budget, it’s a mark of India’s status as a major power that most of its ships and submarines – 37 out of 39 – are built in-country instead of procured from overseas. 
Some of its ships are built with considerable overseas technical assistance and content.

Huawei sta spiando le comunicazioni delle basi militari e delle installazioni missilistiche strategiche degli Stati Uniti ... lo afferma l'FBI ...

Cita

The Biden administration is investigating Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei over concerns that U.S. cell towers fitted with its gear could capture sensitive information from military bases and missile silos that the company could then transmit to China, two people familiar with the matter said.
Authorities are concerned Huawei could obtain sensitive data on military drills and the readiness status of bases and personnel via the equipment, one of the people said, requesting anonymity because the investigation is confidential and involves national security.
The previously unreported probe was opened by the Commerce Department shortly after Joe Biden took office early last year, the sources said, following the implementation of rules to flesh out a May 2019 executive order that gave the agency the investigative authority.

Operazioni aeronavali nell'area di Taiwan ...

Cita

Two U.S. capital ships and their escorts are operating in the Western Pacific near Taiwan, USNI News has learned.
Aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) and big deck amphibious ship USS Tripoli (LHA-7), with Marine F-35B Lighting II Joint Strike Fighters embarked, are operating in the vicinity of Taiwan, on the edge of the South China Sea ahead of a Western Pacific visit from U.S. House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to the region, according to the Aug. 1 edition of the USNI News Fleet and Marine Tracker. 
An earlier version of this post indicated USS America (LHA-6) was underway but it is in port in Sasebo, Japan, U.S. Pacific Fleet told USNI News on Monday afternoon.
A Pentagon spokesman told USNI News on Monday that the ships were operating normally in the region and would not detail force protection measures for the visit of the third highest-ranking U.S. official to the region.
However, a senior defense official told USNI News the ships, escorts and their air wings – already in the region – were prepared to linger as a contingency option. 
On Monday, Beijing implied there would be a military response if Pelosi traveled to Taiwan.

Sembra che Pelosi stia davvero per atterrare a Taiwan.. ottima mossa per creare nuove tensioni internazionali.

Possibilità di scaramucce tra caccia cinesi e della US NAVY? Oppure il raggio d'azione dei caccia cinesi basati a terra non permette un incontro ravvicinato?

[nik978]

La PLAF ha più volte circumnavigato l'isola. E gli incontri anche coi j-20 sono stati molteplici.

Il problema non è se possono, ma se sono così fessi da cercare l'incidente. Non siamo nei primi anni duemila e un incidente simile quello di Hainan avrebbe conseguenze ben più gravi.  Senza contare che i cinesi hanno ben visto, al contrario dei russi, che gli Americani sono tutt'altro che in disimpegno e in fase insolazionista anni 30. Che poi anche poco dopo gli anni 30 si è visto, se colpiti, che capacità di reazione abbiano.  Faranno un po' di wolf diplomacy, qualche ritorsione economico e poco più.  Con Hong Kong quando tutto il mondo, tranne me e pochi, erano sicuro mandassero l'esercito... si son ben guardati  dal farlo e si son mosso molti intelligentemente usando, sul campo, le forze di polizia e le leggi speciali. E facendo una mossa game changer totale che molti non hanno compreso, di far pulire le strade attorno al politecnico occupato dalle truppe cinesi. In sneakers è pantaloncini.  Non a caso da lì è iniziata la caduta del movimento dissoltosi nei mesi successivi.  E la posta in gioco di hk era infinitamente più bassa di Taiwan..

 

Ma dopo aver completamente sbagliato la previsione di un non attacco russo, non mi lancio più in previsione assolute

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defied threats from China and advice from the Biden administration by arriving in Taipei on Tuesday evening (Aug. 2), marking the first visit to the country by a U.S. house speaker in 25 years.
At 10:43 p.m., Pelosi and her congressional delegation arrived at Taipei Songshan Airport aboard a U.S. Air Force Boeing C-40C, designated as SPAR19.

Minutes before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's historic arrival in Taiwan, Chinese state-run media claimed Su-35 fighter jets were crossing the Taiwan Strait, but Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) quickly labeled this report as false.
At 10:26 p.m. on Wednesday evening, less than 20 minutes before Pelosi's arrival in Taipei, China's CGTN reported that China-operated Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets were crossing the Taiwan Strait, without providing additional information.

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy possesses the resources to field up to five aircraft carriers and 10 nuclear ballistic missile submarines by 2030, according to a new think tank report on Beijing’s ongoing military expansion.
Using the its computer assisted Strategic Choices Tool, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment’s study, “China’s Choices,” found, “the PLA has the resources necessary to continue its modernization over the 2020s,” according to the report.
For “China’s Choices,” CSBA assumes, as a starting point, Beijing’s military will grow at a rate of 3 percent above inflation into the early 2030s according the tool’s model.

Pentagon and Air Force officials have repeatedly warned in recent months that China is making rapid progress in building up its arsenal of nuclear weapons. 
But as that growth continues, key questions are still unanswered about how the Chinese will structure their strategic forces, according to a new report.
The China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI) at Air University issued the third edition of its PLA Aerospace Power Primer on Aug. 19, three years after its previous update. 
And in that time, the People’s Liberation Army’s nuclear capabilities have changed dramatically.

Taiwanese troops on Thursday (Sept. 1) shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that had intruded over an island in Kinmen County and failed to heed warnings.
The Army's Kinmen Defense Command (KDC) at 1:40 p.m. on Thursday announced that at 12:03 p.m., an unidentified "civilian" UAV entered the airspace over the restricted waters of Shiyu Islet in Kinmen's Lieyu Township. 
Taiwanese troops responded by following standard operating procedures.
After the drone ignored warnings, troops fired live rounds at the UAV and succeeded in shooting it down. 
The command stated that it will continue to maintain vigilance and closely monitor the situation.

Rapporto al Congresso sulla modernizzazione navale della Cina ...

Cita

China’s military modernization effort, including its naval modernization effort, is the top focus of U.S. defense planning and budgeting. 
China’s naval modernization effort has been underway for more than 25 years, since the early to mid-1990s, and has transformed China’s navy into a much more modern and capable force. 
China’s navy is a formidable military force within China’s near-seas region, and it is conducting a growing number of operations in the broader waters of the Western Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and waters around Europe.
China’s navy is, by far, the largest of any country in East Asia, and sometime between 2015 and 2020 it surpassed the U.S. Navy in numbers of battle force ships (meaning the types of ships that count toward the quoted size of the U.S. Navy). 
DOD states that China’s navy “is the largest navy in the world with a battle force of approximately 340 platforms, including major surface combatants, submarines, ocean-going amphibious ships, mine warfare ships, aircraft carriers, and fleet auxiliaries …

When it comes to Taiwan, the United States’ goal is to ensure Beijing understands an invasion is “never easy to do rapidly or cost-free,” the senior Pentagon official for the Indo-Pacific said Thursday.
Ely Ratner, speaking at the American Enterprise Institute, added, “what we are trying to do [is] ensure when Beijing looks at the problem, [it decides] today is not the day.”
It would be “a really bad idea” for Beijing to pursue 2027 as the year for military action to bring the self-governing island under its control, he said.

A Chinese Navy jet intercepted a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance plane in an incident over the South China Sea last week, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said Thursday.
“On Dec. 21 (China Standard Time), a People’s Liberation Army – Navy J-11 fighter pilot performed an unsafe maneuver during an intercept of a U.S. Air Force RC-135 aircraft, which was lawfully conducting routine operations over the South China Sea in international airspace. The PLAN pilot flew an unsafe maneuver by flying in front of and within 20 feet of the nose of the RC-135, forcing the RC-135 to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision,” INDOPACOM said in the statement.

The U.S. could take thousands of casualties but in most cases would ultimately prevail: These were the conclusions drawn from a series of 24 wargames run by the Center for Strategic and International Studies that assessed a scenario in which China attempted an amphibious invasion of Taiwan in 2026.
Wargames are a common way for civilian and military decision-makers to test out strategies or plan for conflict. 
Often, they are highly classified and their conclusions, methodologies, and assumptions are never publicly explained in detail.
But as Taiwan has emerged as a point of major contention between Washington and Beijing, CSIS took the unusual step of releasing its findings and methodology.
