  1. They will have more fielded and have it done before all of ours hit the seas. Smh

  2. Looks like the Chinese have infiltrated into our defense sectors. It won't be long before their copying all are gear. Maybe it's time to pull national security clearances on any one who is connected to china.

    1. i've thought that for a long time. problem is you'd be surprised at how many businessmen, engineers and politicians that would end up getting excluded...all because they believe more in the Chinese destiny than our own.

    2. They do not need 100% of Zummwalt's capability ,just go as stealthy as posible while using off the shelf armament and sensors. let US spend cash trying to invent high tech that might not eve work or is so expensive that a destroyer coasts almost as much as an flattop

  3. I guess I'd better get that Rosetta Stone DVD set on learning to speak Chinese after all.

  4. LOL, that is a fanboy fantasy piece. There is no way China can build such advance design, besides the PLAN like its counterparts the PLA & the PLAAF is corrupt & ineffective. The bark is louder than the bite.

    1. J-20. advanced design. J-10. advanced design. Type 52D advanced design. J-whatever the smaller stealth plane is...designed with stolen tech.

      additionally the US govt has stated that China is involved in active cyber espionage against the Dept of Defense and govt contractors. they could easily have stolen the designs.

      yes they're corrupt. but they're also efficient in military matters and smart. i wouldn't dismiss this as a flight of fancy.

    2. They are able to build their shit faster than anyone else, cheaper than anyone else, and then try to sell it on a global level - all at a compromise of quality and effectiveness. And guess what - NO ONE IS BUYING THEIR SHIT, because it is shit. Turkey signed up to buy their missiles only to piss off the West because their leader is a wackjob islamist who hates anyone that supports the jews. Other than that - Pakistan and some African shit stains buy their junk. If it was good everyone would be lining up.

      Furthermore, their actual training and combat effectiveness has come into question.

  5. They talk about the potential for a Pearl Harbor type cyber attack on our systems. Looking at what the Chinese are coming out with everyday, it appears it already happened. They must of cleaned up every bit of data on the DOD's hard drives.

  6. This ship has long been rumored to begin development. I think it's a logical next step for the PLAN from their current 052D mainstays. The Chinese do copy a lot of advanced western tech, however, in this case I'm unclear on what part of the ship you think is a copy. It has long been known that shaping is critical to radar stealth, and there aren't many ways to design a ship's exterior. I think the USN adopted the controversial tumblehome hull design precisely for the stealth factor, because a tumblehome hull is more conducive to stealth shaping. Maybe the Chinese are in agreement with this also. Though I have my doubts that the 055 will serve the same role as the USN DDG-1000. The operational requirements for the respective navies are just very different for the foreseeable future.

  7. Would make sense, they've done the same analysis re littoral wars. We did the R&D, they had it handed to them and they will roll out the gear. Banksters obviously want SE Asia flattened by their new bestest starship troopers. Go on imagine that thing sits 150 km off shore of Manila circa 2018. Watcha gonna do? Send for ghostbusters, for the USN will be laid up like the Soviet fleets circa 1992.

    If the ChiComms reveal a prototype tilt rotor hyper attack helo soon then the whole region is going down the crapola fast. Again the tech would have been transferred out for that via UK and Italy most likely.

  8. Hell, Obama most likely handed the plans and specs to the Chinese personally.
    His plan and the Chinese plans are strangely the same, destruction without a shot fired of US military capabilities and the Rise of the Chinese dragon.

    1. Rare superstructure shape ?

    2. Nice but that's not a tumblehome hull, which is arguably the most distinguishing feature of the DDG-1000, or type-055 for that matter.
