There is one element videos like this cannot touch on. That is the element of training. When the Soviet Union collapsed 30 years ago, Russia did not have the ability to field its military let alone train it. I’m sure some units have been trained in the last 30 years, I would guess the majority of the Russian military is under strength and untrained. The Chinese like to talk a big game, but they have no real field experience in nearly 50 years. The Sino-Soviet battles of the early 70s and their own Vietnam conflict in the mid 70s is the last time China was openly engaged in a fight. And there is no naval element to any fight China has engaged in, in over 250 years. You can’t expect an untried navy to fight the most outstanding navy the world has seen since the 1940s. For the Chinese or the Russians to even be an offensive threat, they would be required to TRANSPORT their land forces to a fight anywhere. They couldn’t air drop their forces without total air supremacy, that means transport via the ocean. That means a lot of drowned sailors and soldiers before the first even begins in Japan.

It may be a different war but the senior leaders know what to expect when bullets start flying and shit goes crazy. Russian has a little bit of experience but China has none.

You completely forget that the US invented island hopping and has proven doctrine and training whilst the Chinese army and navy have nearly zero combat experience especially in complex combined arms tasks such as amphibious and airborne assault. Additionally, they have no experience in the exploitation of any presumed successes they would have, untested command and control and logistics; it’s one thing to take non contiguous territory and another to hold it, and again, they have zero experience with such tasks. And probably most important is the quality of the individual soldiers and sailors and their units .

The problem I have with this video is like most of the US vs. Videos. I think one of the key flaws (if you can call it a flaw) is the tendency to assume that these militaries will experience like for like losses, somewhat akin to WW2. When as we often see in the US's various war games, and reality is that modern wars (in Iraq and Falklands for example) do not play out this way. On a battle to battle basis, a single side often claims the initiative early on and snowballs from there. One of the US's greatest advantages, particularly against the RF and PRC that is rarely talked about is their highly networked and sophisticated command and control. This allows them to think and react faster to a changing battlefield environment faster than any armed forces on Earth. Being able to peel back the fog of war and make critical decisions with some level of accuracy is what wins modern wars, more than anything else.

[@generalboyit7867]

That is a pretty good advantage but what if the us got hit by a emp missile ?

[@MadM0nte]

@@generalboyit7867 EMP's of any relevant size, as you know, can only be delivered through the high-altitude detonation of thermonuclear weapons. Likely multiple. Such launches would be just as disruptive to friendly forces as they would to enemy, rendering this option only suitable for defensive use as part of a retreat. More importantly such a launch would be indistinguishable from the offensive launch of ICBMs in a nuclear attack, and due to the short decision loop in nuclear warfare almost certainly trigger a nuclear response. Imagine being the President of the US and hearing that after RU/CN ICBMs were launched all contact with US forces on the Island of Japan was lost. You have 30 minutes to make a decision. What would you do?

[@MadM0nte]

​@yehoutube That's not a compelling argument, those wars were fought decades ago under very different win/loss conditions and for very different objectives. We're talking here about a primarily naval and air war centered around the ability to competently launch air strikes into non-permissible air space. This is something the US Military is highly specialized to achieve being primarily offensive focused. Vietnam and the Korean War were hampered from achieving their objectives due to the political reality of the time. For example, the US President Harry S. Truman (being generally incompetent) believed that an invasion of China to destroy the forces amassing at the border would lead to open hostilities between the US and USSR. Truman would refrain from risking Europe at all costs, thus his tepid policy in Asia. As for Vietnam the overwhelming reality acknowledged by all sides was that the US could take Hanoi at any moment. Despite the extensive Russian SAM defenses, during the Nixon administration large scale bombing raids into North Vietnam were not prevented. Nor were they preventable frankly. The mismanagement of the war (which shouldn't have even started by the way) is expressly acknowledged as the fault of the Johnson administration and its inability to determine win conditions for the war beyond propping up the SV puppet government. This meant that for the majority of these conflicts the US forces were deprived of the initiative by their own government. In the conventional conflict Binkov presents the neither of the problematic political conditions from Vietnam and North Korea exist, as nuclear weapons are not modeled. Thus, the superior C&C of the US gives American forces a shorter decision making loop and as a consequence, the initiative.

China is facing a catastrophic population crash in the next 25 years. They have had the one child family policy since 1979 until recently, and the people are apparently still following it.

ANY buildup for this kind of operation, to include moving supplies and troops, would trigger an INSTANT response by the U.S. and ships would sortie weeks before the Chinese could move. Any diplomatic connection of militaries by Russia and China would trigger an INSTANT response. This scenario is COMPLETELY unrealistic.

A big flaw in the Chinese island hopping plan is that you're not counting on how effective the air assets on Okinawa will be in the case of an attack. Also the carrier support. F-35 and AV8B aircraft from amphibious assault ships already in the area will also be brought to that fight. There will already be a Marine Corps MAGTF, (Marine Corps Air Ground Task Force), in the area on a six month float on assault ships. This will include infantry elements, artillery, armor, Cobras, fighter, and attack aircraft to support Okinawa. A land attack on the island would have 15k Marines that know the island defending it until that MAGTF. News flash. Roughly 6000 Marines defended Khe Sanh against roughly 36k North Vietnamese, and held it with basic resources, and minimal resupply. That's not including the JDF personnel stationed on the island. Okinawa would hold as long as they needed to.

So the US would end up attacking western Russia with all it's European and Atlantic forces to make Russia pull it's forces away from the Pacific, or to at least make sure than Russia can't free up forces to send to the Pacific. Unlike the US both Russia and China don't have enough military forces and capability to fight on two different fronts so far away from one another.

Not going to do alot of back and forth here but I don't think most people understand the massive technological differences between U.S. military forces and those of China, Russian (and to be frank MOST of the world). The U.S. has OPERATIONAL Gen-5 fighters that will literally wipe the skies clean of enemy fighters. Rail guns are OPERATIONAL in the pacific theater and laser guns are in the testing phase (this minimizes the threat from land and air based ballistic missiles. Japan and Taiwan has Aegis cruisers and Japan has a STRONG national defense army. The swarm attacks that China will be forced to use will result in MASSIVE casualties for them. The USN will quite literally dominate the seas (sinking or restricting any Chinese surface ships from the seas and the appearance of Virginia class attack subs (which are OPERATIONAL already) will eliminate the underwater threat. U.S. casualties on the Korean peninsula will be high but U.S. response would create casualties on a level we cannot imagine. Make no mistake.... the existence of nukes protects the Russians and Chinese from annihilation... not the other way around.

[@christiancampbell5465]

I think the biggest thing this scenario ignores is that china is neither food nor energy secure, and does not possess the navy to ensure shipment security across the globe. The united states possesses the means to intercept these shipments, thus denying them to china. The biggest issue for china would not be US troops, but rather the domestic implications of a food and energy crisis, on top of the economic implications of an exporting nation being cut off from consumers across the globe. The 1 belt 1 road initiative could mitigate this somewhat however it relies on the cooperation of all members in the chain. If even one flips to support the united states (or the US interrupts transport infrastructure via explosives) then it would have serious implications for china receiving the goods it needs to effectively combat the US and maintain peace at home.

[@Postoronniy]

One important nuance about pilot training - while NATO calculates flight hours from plane's engine start to engine stop, USSR / Russia calculates it from take-off to landing. Since, depending on the mission, pre- and post-flight segment can be a rather significant portion of time spent in the airplane (up to 10-20% of total time, perhaps?), the Russian flight hours should be revised upwards to be directly comparable to NATO ones. Not sure about how China calculates it, but since PLAAF was initially modelled after Soviet Air Force, then it probably uses similar approach too.

[@charliedallachie3539]

Eh most likely depends how much effort the US is willing to spend, we could easily redirect all forces (multiple carriers) to that area, South Korea and Japan depend on our defense so they’d ring the alarm. Usually there’s a few but carriers are spread out same with subs. Okinawa 😟 used to live there

Oof. A lot of dum-dums in the comments. This is hypothetical. Commissar Binkov does not include nukes because the answer is always "Whoever has the most nukes" and this is just a fun experiment of military prowess.

[@elleneim7638]

Who ever has the most nukes doesn't even matter. No body wants to nuke a country that has nukes. Period. Even Pakistan.

Well, it's 2022 March as a make this comment. After the epically terrible performance of the Russian military in Ukraine, and finding out how corruption led to a lower state of readiness in their military (which is also found in China), I would have to say no. They could never kick the US out of the Pacific.

[@SportsArchiveRU]

terrible performance? my dear friend. Russia could wipe out from the world map Ukraine if Putin wants, but that's not the target.

I'm a Chinese American US citizen, I definitely agree that China is corrupt, but PLN is growing very quickly, and have a much smaller area to worry about, so they might be able to remove America temporarily.

Everyone is like "OMG there is no way such-and-such country would stay out of it" How about just stop and comment on what is said in the rules of this scenario. Example, I firmly believe that 15,000 US Marines can hold off 40,000 Chinese troops. There may be more, but they are severely outclassed by training, equipment, and will. 15,000 US Marines could hold off 65,000+ Chinese troops, imo. Also, he is forgetting that the US has Destroyer-based missiles that can hit Satellites. The Chinese satellites that help the tracking for those long range missiles would be all but gone within the first month. The US taking 6 months to mobilize significant forces? Nah, the US has been prepared to fight a 2 front war since WW2. The ENTIRE Russian fleet would be destroyed within 3 months. The Chinese Fleet would take longer, but that's just based on more numerous numbers and strategic importance. Probably 4-5 months. By the One Year mark, the US will absolutely have air dominance and complete control of the all the Islands. The Chinese bases in the South China Sea? Gone or captured. Guaranteed.
