American forces drastically outmatched by China

Top secret US report warns American forces would be drastically outmatched by China

A senior Biden official turned ‘pale’ when he saw the classified assessment, the report says

Pentagon war games simulating a Chinese invasion of Taiwan have shown that Beijing could cripple U.S. fighter squadrons, major warships, and even satellite networks before they deploy effectively, the highly classified document, “Overmatch Brief”, warned.

Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, said in the Pentagon’s war games against China, “we lose every time” and predicted that China’s hypersonic missiles could easily destroy aircraft carriers within minutes.

US's electronic warfare was one generation behind

July 2024

Electronic warfare engagements reportedly lasted a full twelve hours in the northern Philippines, and as a result American warships “faced an unprecedented crisis—screens full of static and a total loss of GPS signals,” with the fleet withdrawing due to the serious disruption of communication and navigation capabilities.

As a result new Chinese ships such as the Type 055 Class are expected to remain unrivalled for the foreseeable future.

Why the U.S Can't Win a War With China

issac99289928 — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 16:57:41 +0800

https://cyrusjanssen.substack.com/p/why-the...-war-with-china

U.S. strategists have known for years that a conflict with China would be disastrous for America. In every single Pentagon war game scenario, the United States is decisively defeated. In these simulations, America’s missile stockpiles are exhausted in days, thousands of U.S. servicemen are lost, and entire fleets of aircraft carriers and ships are wiped out. All without achieving any meaningful U.S. objectives.

The war in Ukraine has already demonstrated the realities of the modern battlefield, which will be fought primarily through drones, electronic warfare, and advanced missile systems. These technologies are shifting the balance of power, with quantity overtaking quality. The advantage is now going to countries that can mass-produce low-cost drones and missiles, rather than those who focus on building the most expensive, state-of-the-art technologies. The U.S. is lacking in two key aspects of modern warfare: the right type of weapons and the ability to produce them in large quantities.

The U.S. may have the best aircraft carriers, tanks, and helicopters in the world, but they are essentially useless in a conflict with China. Hypersonic missiles, launched in mass, would easily sink an aircraft carrier before it even gets close to China’s shores. The most advanced tanks are powerless to being overwhelmed by a swarm of explosive suicide drones. This shift in technology was clearly demonstrated during the parade, where 80% of the displayed equipment was shown for the first time.

Beyond advanced technology, China also has the ability to mass-produce these weapons in far greater numbers than the U.S. With the world’s largest manufacturing capacity, China accounts for 35% of global gross production, more than the next nine largest manufacturers combined. In the event of war, this industrial capacity can be redirected to the war effort, much like the United States did during World War II, when it was the undisputed manufacturing superpower of the world. But that manufacturing capacity has long been shipped overseas, and today, the U.S. lacks the capability to sustain a prolonged conflict with China.

The U.S. has abandoned any pretense of adhering to a “rules-based order” or upholding human rights. Instead, it has fully embraced a 19th-century mindset of imperialism, plundering other nations for resources and influence. Early on in the administration, there were threats to annex Greenland for its rare earth materials and take control over the Panama Canal. Most recently, the U.S. has focused its attention on Venezuela, openly pursuing regime change and forced access to the country’s vast oil reserves.

China can make 3nm chips soon

Hyperion-2 will be launched in 2026, with the light source power increased to 150W and the target production capacity reaching 150 pieces/hour, or about 108,000 pieces/month.

Market research firm TrendForce predicts that the mass production of domestically produced EUV lithography equipment will reduce the cost of 3-nanometer chips by 50%, directly impacting the market share of TSMC and Samsung (March 2025 report).

PL-15 “Super Hunter of the Sky"

issac99289928 — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 12:40:48 +0800

China’s PL-15 air-to-air missile is notable for its advanced capabilities, especially its GaN-based radar seeker, which improves detection and targeting. The missile can lock onto enemy aircraft at long ranges and resist electronic jamming.

With its GaN-powered radar, the PL-15 can even detect stealth aircraft, tracking targets hundreds of kilometres away with precision. This capability has led to it being referred to as the “Super Hunter of the Sky."

Black Hawk Downed By Drone

issac99289928 — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 14:53:13 +0800

The deadly downing of a Colombian National Police (CNP) UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter by a drone on Thursday is the latest sign of the growing vulnerability of rotary-wing aircraft to these attacks. While apparently the first such incident in the Western Hemisphere, the tactic was developed by Ukraine to strike Russian helicopters and has reportedly spread to Asia as well. The downing comes as militaries are rethinking the utility of helicopters due to myriad threats, including drones, which is a danger we have been warning about for years.

China Delivers Nanoimprint Lithography Machine

issac99289928 — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 19:44:23 +0800

China’s Prinano Delivers First Homegrown Nanoimprint Lithography Machine

https://www.trendforce.com/news/2025/08/11/...llenging-canon/

As the report indicates, nanoimprint technology for chip manufacturing avoids the complex EUV light sources used in commercial EUV lithography, reducing energy use and equipment costs. However, it is slower than traditional lithography and unsuitable for producing chips with complex logic processes.

By contrast, the report highlights that Prinano’s nanoimprint system is well suited for NAND Flash and similar memory chips with relatively simple patterns. It adds that Chinese memory chipmakers could use domestic nanoimprint equipment to reduce reliance on foreign high-end manufacturing tools and enhance competitiveness in the global memory market alongside major players such as SK hynix and Samsung.

J-10C ‘Kills’ J-20 Stealth Fighter

In a stunning simulated air battle, China’s fourth-generation J-10C “shot down” the fifth-generation J-20 stealth jet—thanks to real-time targeting data from AEW&C and electronic warfare support, signaling a new era of system-centric warfare.

Rafale jets were shot due to faulty intelligence

issac99289928 — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 12:32:17 +0800

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-...ear-2025-08-02/

The faulty intelligence gave the Rafale pilots a false sense of confidence they were out of Pakistani firing distance, which they believed was only around 150 km, the Indian officials said, referring to the widely cited range of PL-15's export variant.

The PL-15 that hit the Rafale was fired from around 200km (124.27 mi) away, according to Pakistani officials, and even farther according to Indian officials. That would make it among the longest-range air-to-air strikes recorded.
