Satellite pictures confirm China has copied the American Stealth Blackhawk used in the Obama bin Laden raid.

China probably is planning to use this for decapitation attacks against the Taiwanese government.

the bin laden thing was a staged pr stunt on some random ragheads but they still managed to fuck it up. they then killed the whole seal team later in another crash.

If I was a Chinese general tasked with reforming the army, I'd study everything USA did as well.
Why reinvent the wheel if someone else is really good at wheels?
Just look at what they do and work out why they do it that way.

It makes perfect sense that they'd recreate the helo, they probably learnt a lot about stealth by doing it.
Creating the compound is some dedication but in the scale of the PLA budget, not a big investment, it's probably just cast concrete and it's not like China lacks experience building cheap concrete buildings.

Work out what the people currently ahead of you are doing and why and try to do it yourself and innovate on it once you've got the basics working.

If China started from first principles, it would take decades longer to catch up.
Starting from US's current position, or even the 90s level, saves a load of time.

Because you aren't training for building and reinforcing fundamentals. And more than likely you don't understand why things are being done a certain way either and will get fucked hard for not knowing the specifics behind it.

>And more than likely you don't understand why things are being done a certain way either and will get fucked hard for not knowing the specifics behind it.
So you build them and study them and work out why those design choices got made.
Which is what they're doing.

It's a reasonable thing to do. US goes to great lengths to obtain examples of foreign military equipment too.
Look up Project Azorian some time.

Mostly because they have neither the capital nor the smarts to do so. Russia is an anemic country, and has been since the end of the cold war. Turns out all your thralls breaking away created some unsolvable brain drain.

Some of the few designs they have made in-house have been behind the curve and derivative, even if they aren't direct copies.

China's strategy of copying is clearly more successful than Russia's attempt to manifest results through positive thinking and vranyo.

The ones from the Osama raid were ostensibly from a cancelled black project and the only two of their kind, but no real guarantee that was the truth. Comanche iirc was cancelled more for being too expensive for a capability no longer deemed necessary more than for efficiency. Also if memory serves a decade or so ago when this was a much fresher story I believe a publication found some evidence that USAF or SOCOM was spending money on either a fresh look at the concept after they proved useful for the raid, or possibly the program was never actually discontinued just put on the back burner.

That's what training is for. Which is why they built the entire Taipei government district in the desert and have been training for almost 10 years.

Also, the Taiwanese defenders arent any better in terms of expertise. In fact, I doubt that the very deep blue officer corps of the ROCA even has a lot of loyalty towards the DPP and its leader who was only elected by narrow margin.
>>
>>64476888
Yes, as always chinks will train a single mission and no general skills and believe wholly in the fictional scenario they have built where nothing goes wrong.
Reality has proven however that it doesnt work and the moment anything in a chink scripted trainin goes off-script they all panic and don’t know what to do anymore.
>>
>>64476996
that's like the exact opposite of how they have fought lmao.
the PLA's history is one of adaption and being outgunned and having to sneak around and poke for weakpoints.

Just because you have a hollywood version of how the Russian army operates doesnt mean that this is how historically the Chinese army has ever operated.
Just nowadays they arent the ones being outgunned, especially compared to Taiwan.

That's more of a ROC tradition but ok, especially with how they relied on force conscription against the Japanese back in WWII or against the PLA during Civil War.

PLA is always guerrilla tactics, light infantry infiltration, night fighting, ambushes and shit that would qualify to DRG work nowadays.
Their track record considering their bad equipment is actually much better than other armies in the world who had better equipment but lost against much worse equipped and trained armies. Such as the US.

If ROC invaded Korea, America would occupy Beijing today lmao. The ROCA is famously inept and corrupt to the core. How else would a 10m men army supplied by the US lose against 3m PLA using Japanese leftovers and be driven off to a little island?
Dont come at me with "the PLA was hiding while the ROC fought the Japs" - no they didnt and it also doesnt matter, since the ROCA was outnumbering the PLA when the Civil War began, and was much much better equipped too and literally had the US navy patrolling the Yangtze for them.

And in Vietnam, the PLA actually was cursed by their tactics of not fighting like your hollywood soviet hordes all shooting from automatic weapons spray and pray like - the PLA got bloodied because they tried their marksman small unit tactic every soldier only gets semi-auto rifles in a war that has evolved past guerrilla war. They learned from that and in the continuation wars of the 1980s the PLA absolutely wiped the floor with the VPA, which is why China is now controling so many islands close to Vietnam's coast.

>>
>>64476881
You're probably right, but that won't stop them from trying. After all, I'd bet there are some competent students in their general staff who have studied, in depth, the similar sorts of operations we conducted in Grenada and Panama, along with the famously bloody Russian move at the opening of the Soviet-Afghan War. Even for the ones who haven't drunk the Chink jingoism Kool-Aid, the temptation of what could result if they pull it off will be too great to let the naysayers slow them down (assuming a Communist system like theirs even permits someone to be bold enough to raise doubts in the first place).
>>
>>64479458
>Why not just watch Zero Dark Thirty and the all the footage of house-to-house fighting in Ramadi and Fallujah
These aren't mutually exclusive things, they can do both.

Basing your CQB and counter-terrorism doctrine on a Hollywood movie sounds like a bad idea though, interesting to watch and possibly not without benefit but hardly a training manual.
The war footage is absolutely going to be studied but at some point you need to get practical and knowing that the earlier footage informed US tactics in the later raid is useful information and will aid interpretation of the raid's tactics.
>>
>>64479472
>assuming a Communist system like theirs even permits someone to be bold enough to raise doubts in the first place
The PLA has been going through "reform" processes every few years for literally decades now, I don't think it's intended to be continuous iterative improvement (I think it's a combination of reform failures and new guys wanting their own reform projects) but that's what it's working out to be.

You're not wrong that Chinese culture doesn't support the kinds of brainstorming "no bad ideas" sessions that we see in the west but there are ways to introduce ideas from below and Chinese are used to it because they went through it in high school etc (well the officers and maybe half the enlisted did) that have heavy emphasis on group projects, both small groups and class-room size.

The way they often run is to give a bunch of people individual tasks to propose improvements and have them come back in a fortnight and make a presentation on their idea. There's often a bunch of reasonably clever deputy managers and such who are clearly smart enough to be in the decision making room, junior enough to still be sent to do shit jobs everywhere when needed and not senior enough to have a voice. These are the sorts of people who generate a lot of the ideas in Chinese state run institutions.
Generating a good idea gets you on the promotion track so they're pretty well motivated to find and sell a good idea for reform or whatever.

Their managers above them use it as a kind of Communist-compatible extended brain-storming program and pick some of the better ideas to implement in the hopes of building career success for themselves, if they do become successful, they'll probably carry the kids who came up with the ideas with them to their new, higher positions.

Did Ukraine teach you people nothing? An unpopular democratically elected government doesn't translate to support for an external, undemocratic power to overthrow the entire government in any even marginally functional democracy.

Why the fuck would the Chinese copy tactics if the context is different? If they were forced to sure that makes sense, have to keep the fat stupid politicians happy. But the Chinese trying to 1:1 the USN reeks of a lack of confidence in figuring out wtf they're supposed to do but go face and hope the yanks lose the nerve before they do.
