In case war breaks in the South China Sea between the aggressor
and island grabbing Mainland China versus Japan and the Philippines, the
Chinese would be facing formidable defensive weaponry from the Japanese
particularly.
As what U.S Marine Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson) shouted to Navy Lawyer Lieutenant Daniel
Kaffee,(Tom Cruise) at the flick’s A Few
Good Men:
“You can’t handle the truth!”
Can the Sinos handle the naked military truth I’m going to
enumerate below? Brace yourself if you cheered for the Chinese.

In my daily radio program at Sonshine Radio, I told recently
Denmark Suede, a pilot from Australia, about Japan’s insurmountable defenses in
case a shooting war erupts between her and the Chinks somewhere in the disputed
Senkaku Islets.
“Japan’s defense is
the best model how to deter China not to jut her air force and naval
juggernauts somewhere near the disputed Senkaku Islands and some parts of the
Japanese sea otherwise she would be humiliated” I stressed.
Citing the news article “Five
Japanese Weapons of War China Should Fear”, I and Denmark summarized by
quoting the salient parts of the article written by Kyle Mizokami.
JAPAN
“Soryu-class
Diesel Electric Submarines: Japan’s Soryu-class submarines, where 9
are operational while 12 are being planned, are some of the most advanced
non-nuclear attack submarines in the world. Four Stirling air independent propulsion systems allow the Soryu class
to remain underwater far longer than most diesel electric submarines.
