According to the expert, China really increases its military capacity at a faster rate than the US
Despite the scale, this does not mean that China has a strong army in all aspects / frame with videoThe large-scale military parade in China, which took place on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, showed anxiety about the “unprecedented increase in military capacity” of this country. About it writes Lieutenant Colonel, Officer of Special Military Operations of the Air Force Brandon Temple and a observer for The Hill.
According to him, China really increases its military capacity at a faster rate than the US, but there is one nuance.
“China can have a lot of weapons, but the US armed forces have three key asymmetric advantages over the PRC, which give us good chances in any conflict – the community of our troops, the unity of our command and endowed with the powers of the UNTEROFICERS Corps,” Temple emphasized.
The observer noted that joint fighting is difficult. In particular, the United States received a difficult lesson during the Vietnam War and subsequent operations, such as an attempt to release hostages in Iran.
“The US Armed Forces are now obsessed with common opinion. The US has a functional united headquarters headed by the Chairman and the Joint Committee of Staff Chiefs. The main US military command at every theater of war is inherently joint. – emphasized the Temple.
At the same time, the January report of Rand (American Analytical Center) states that Chinese sources recognize that they are far behind in joint integration, have difficulty in preparing joint combat units and “do not have competent joint commanders”.
“Oddly enough, armed forces in communist political systems are not characterized by the ability to work together to achieve a common goal. On the contrary, they exist in systems based on power where the Communist Party and its survival is the highest priority. Everyone in this system is struggling for the authority.”
However, Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and China researcher M. Taylor Fravell noted that cleaning among the higher command of China creates a “dilemma of uncertainty”, which undermines the unity of command and joint operations.
“Of course, the United Forces commanders were released from positions in the United States. However, the united systems and processes are so well implemented in the United States that the united military machine continues to work. After the appointment of a new commander, the unity of command is not in doubt,” Temple assured.
Lieutenant Colonel believes that the US US Armed Forces Corps is probably the greatest advantage of America over the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
“I tell everyone who wants to listen that Neri officers are the basis of the US Armed Forces, and this is not an exaggeration. As a former soldier, I have repeatedly seen how sergeants and cabbage were managed in the battlefield. Even when they doubted their powers, they were expert.
Compared to this, China’s non-China Corps is called the “weak basis” of China’s armed forces.
“This is not because individual soldiers are incompetent, but because authoritarian regimes do not accept the concepts of authority and initiative,” the lieutenant colonel explained.
Temple told that he was asked: “Why, in your opinion, Russia failed to reach Kiev, although we were informed that Kiev would fall in a matter of days?”
In response, he said three things.
“First, we tend to evaluate military force in terms of the amount of weapons, not the people and processes necessary for its efficient use. Second, common hostilities are difficult-Russia has tried to invading American style, using common forces, multi-channel access and tactics” non -commissioned officers, ”the expert said.
The author of the material believes that there is a similar situation in China. At the same time, he stressed that the potential conflict with China would not be easy, as China will be able to use the weapons that he quickly develops.
“The first two truths of special operations forces are as follows:” People are more important than technique “and” quality is better than quantity. “I believe that both of these aphorisms are applicable in this case. China has a lot of technique. However, it lacks competent people and common processes necessary for its effective use,” he summed up.
The military parade in China is the latest newsEarlier, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov explained why China decided to sway on the parade. According to him, a parade is always a demonstration of strength.
“This is a means, let’s just say, coverage of your military power and a way of influence. Obviously, the signals that were sent will reach those addressees to whom they were oriented,” Budanov emphasized.
At the same time, CNN wrote that these parade in Beijing urged humanity to make a simple choice. According to analysts, the Chinese leader’s initiative aims to combine a point for countries that feel the event.
“With a carefully struck pomp, a key message was hidden: these are seeking to the world where the US and the West do not dictate the rules. And the question is: what does it mean to the US and the world?” – emphasized in CNN.
