Chinese PLA Tri-Motor UAV operating in Japan's ADIZ...carrying what looks to be anti-ship missiles

Three PLA drones found in Japan's Air Defense Identification Zone! Why only these three models? Click the link for more detail. (Please Like and Subscribe to my channel and click the bell icon to get new video updates. Thanks)https://t.co/L7VFiICkOP pic.twitter.com/2jGtTEOgLQ

Interesting. So let me get this straight. A Light Amphibious Warship will utilize stealth to avoid detection while transporting Marines ashore...then the Stand-In-Force will use stealth while avoiding detection by these same drones while setting up Forward Bases?

Sounds good on paper but between Chinese spies, locals working for the Chinese and with the persistent observation that they're establishing I'm not sure it'll work so good in person.

The Marine Corps is wedded to the Defense Battalion/Missile Marine Concept.

I've tried to tell them better. Marines more accomplished than myself have tried to tell them

Enough.

Let them reap what they're sowing. I'm done. Let the bodies hit the floor.

Looking at Chinese capabilities this plan is batshit stupid on a shit covered stick.

Does China have better fighter pilots than the US? They're getting twice as many flight hours!

I've known for a while that the Chinese Air force pilots are getting more flying hours than USAF pilots.

But I didn't know it's as high as twice the flying hours compared to American pilots.@RupprechtDeino @louischeung_hk pic.twitter.com/VttVOaDHPY

Wow. I've read and heard numerous times that time in the air makes a good pilot. It can't be simulated. You have to "strap on" an airplane and get in the air to be good at the skill set. So having said that, what do we make of the news that Chinese fighter pilots are getting twice as many flight hours as our own?

THIS SHIT! THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE SON! YEAH! THIS IS WHAT THE FUCK I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Well done Army!

U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey resupplies U.S. Navy submarine

Am I totally missing the point on this shit? The Stand-In-Force is gonna operate forward in the competition (whatever the fuck that is), gray (again don't ask me what shit they're talking about when it comes to superpower conflict) and war zones. Yet this concept has the SIF delivering supplies to a sub that is PRESUMABLY operating in those zones? We're gonna send out a MV-22 with supplies to a submarine that is gonna surface? With the Chinese sending out nothing but electrons to detect such activity? What Skipper would risk his boat in such a scenario? I can see a medical evacuation in anything short of war but this? HQMC needs to stop smoking crack.
