As the U.S. makes clear it will defend Japan should China try and lay claim to the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, this Chinese announcement from mid-2012 offers additional perspective.

Once the U.S. announced it's turning attention from the Middle East and directing military assets to the Pacific, it didn't take long for China to make clear how it would handle what it saw as a new regional threat.

I think Iran has taken a backseat to two other hotspots. The Senkaku Islands and Kashmir. I'll remind you that alittle less than a 1/3rd of Kashmir is Chinese occupied.

Any nuclear conflict there would surely bring a chinese invasion on India and aid to Pakistan. Oh the intricacies of geopolitics. Its obvious to even the amatuer military historian that the United States has stretched themselves far toomuch, they are too thin as it is now and are getting thinner because of austerity and are way too involved in well damn near everything going on in the world. The taliban are going to win, AQI is still not defeated, Iran will outlast us and that is why we are shifting to the east. So we can lose much bigger. -Mort

My Comment: This is a followup on a previous article that the Business Insider posted a few months ago. More to the point .... the Chinese have been predicting for the past year that as far as they are concerned .... there is a real chance of a naval conflict with the U.S., and they are preparing themselves for it. Is the U.S. and our allies doing the same thing .... I sometimes wonder.

As the U.S. makes clear it will defend Japan should China try and lay claim to the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, this Chinese announcement from mid-2012 offers additional perspective.

Once the U.S. announced it's turning attention from the Middle East and directing military assets to the Pacific, it didn't take long for China to make clear how it would handle what it saw as a new regional threat.

The Economic Times reported China promptly increased its conventional missile capability to carry out multiple launches, from multiple sites —a tactic that could overwhelm a Navy ship's defenses and cripple its abilities.

Tan Weihong, Commander of China's Second Artillery Force said, "Conventional missiles are a trump card in modern warfare. So we must be ready at any time. We must be able to deliver a quick response to attacks, hit the targets with high accuracy, and destroy them totally. Of the 114 missiles [our brigade] has launched so far, all have accurately hit the target."

For each incoming missile a U.S. Navy ship will have to perform some variation of the following actions:
First it will launch a long-range air defense missile, like a SM-2ER. If that fails, then a shorter range missile like the ESSM (Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile) will go out — then the ship's main deck guns will fire anti-air rounds with fused airburst shells.

Surviving missiles will be engaged by close-in weapons systems like the Mk-15 Phalanx or the RAM (Rolling Airframe Missile). Any incoming missiles struck by these systems will be so close, and moving so fast, that incoming shrapnel and debris would likely be unavoidable.

While all these "Hard Kill" options are going on, the ship's electronic warfare systems will have been trying to jam the incoming missile, offering the missile a false target, while firing off chaff (for radar guided weapons) and flares (for infrared guided weapons).

All that for every single missile, so if China can send off several at once directed at the same ship, the chances of success on their part may increase exponentially.

China would launch its ordnance both from shore and its new Aegis type 052 Luhu-class destroyers. This battle plan is especially relevant given the developments in the area over the past few days, which I'll address in a following post.
