China has seen what the US is doing with Venezuela and correctly identified that these seizures are nothing but a beta-test for an eventual maritime blockade of China later on.They are now converting civilian ships into auxiliary arsenal cruisers, each equipped with 60 VLS cells armed with hypersonics and long range air-defense missiles.If the US is to sink China's civilian fleet anyway, each one of their 180,000+ ships shall become missile spamming monsters in their own right.
>>524338316Huge missile arment
>>524338379these are smaller 100 TEU container ships, but each would have 60 VLS and already have superior firepower than the majority of Europe's naval ships.
>>524338441why the xmas hat on the boat?
I've got a better idea. Take one of these double length containers and put a "foot" and erector platform into the bottom.>now the entire container can be lifted and trained as a unitThis gives you a square launch tube of 2.5 by 2.5 meters, 13 meters long.Either go all out and put an ICBM in there, or a huge winged drone/cruise missile.Also pack some containers with drones. Will easily fit a dozen Geran-like loitering munitions or 1000+ quadcopters (lol gg).

>>524338316>Chinks are coping what the USA is doing with portable VLS in shipping containers.>Kraut subhuman thinks the chinks invented this due to muh Venezuela.You need to be banned from the internet, you dumb kraut eurotrash
>>524338441very festive for chinks. Good for them
>>524338316Each one of these sinking would fuck up our ecosystems and economy.
>>524339020Because it's carrying all the plastic crap that westerners bought for Christmas.
>>524340664literally
>>524338316>each arleigh burke has 90 VLS+ cellsRookie numbers, one arleigh burke sinks almost 100 non-armored cargo ships, if they have to expend missiles at all for a cargo ship. Chances are they're not going to have CIWS, drones and undersea drones will poke holes in these ships until they fall over.
>>524339020Christmas skin for the season event, unlocked through the battlepass
your mother was a dogfucked whore who got raped by every animal on the road to her village zhang
>>524341022China will have them in a group with proper warships and containerized weapons just mean that they can load up a fucking CSC China Shipping 140k ton monster with hundreds of VLS containers for that matter.And they do have CIWS, in fact, they are also containerized.China might use them as arsenal barges to bolster their warfleets as expendable missile carriers.
>>524341170Gee, I wonder where the chinks got that idea from, retard.
Has the US military learned nothing from video games?
>>524338316The Economist predicted this
>>524338316If Usa dont do something then the peoples of sudamerica would do something, Perú already kicked a ton of presidents inside jail just for the veneco problem with lots of antivenezuelan protests and lynchings (i typed anti venenezuelan, not anti Venezuela), Ecuador peoples are fighting them everyday, like colombians and brasilians, Chile kicked a retarded lefty and elected a literal son of a nazi just for the veneco problem and Argentina, You are gay and Pair of gays would do the same in the next months, fun fact, Venezuela is jailing and maybe exterminating, all reverse migrants right now, we are talking about millions, those would do more damage than any nuke and you know it, of course media is banning all talks about it, we are gonna survive and Venezuela would die drowned in venecos, it doesnt matter how many politicians, media and academia moles you push inside your lands, we will kick them out with the veneco menace inside Venezuela and we already notice who is sending the money for this, Usa, Russia and China, eventually all of them will be lynched by the people too, nukes would only generate more rage against the powers.
>>524341580Netaniahu is on the side of the bad guys kek. It's a zionist vs globalist kikes war, with goy as soldiers
>>524341844>soldiersCannon fodder.
>>524341022Have you ever heard of the term "surplus buoyancy"?How many holes do you think it will take to sink a compartmentalized cargo ship that could load an extra 20000 tons or more?And by all odds these weapons are controlled remotely from warships or via satellite link. Doesn't matter if the 15 man crew is dead.>the entire ship is just air bubbles besides the containers on deckAnd given the obvious strategy with such a vessel, which is launching everything it has in one strike, you'll just sink an empty ship that has already unloaded on you.Not like it even carries ammunition for a reload. Not much in it that could burn or explode.It's essentially a no win scenario.>just sink all cargo ships you find!Not going to end well for you.>not even unrestricted submarine warfare did that
>>524342226Who cares China's going to use it to make Taiwan fear for its' sovereignty until it's obsolete in then roll out the next scary intimidating wunderwaffen that they could totally use in a real war. Chinese weaponry gets used in the hands of non-Chinese exclusively.
>>524338316>converting civilian ships into auxiliary arsenal cruisersThis might make things very challenging for submarines in deciding whether or not a surface ship is a combatant. Afaik subs can easily pick out the acoustic differences between civilian vs naval ships, but this makes all that irrelevant. A war with China will never happen though.One thing that always gets to me about this type of news is that I see it and think "Oh shit thats neat. Why does China get to do everything cool and experimental? Why arent we doing that?" and then I usually find out later that we already experimented with it decades ago and it never panned out (and the history of it got buried). Ive always felt that if awareness of these various military projects (past and present) were more publicized it would invigorate public support for them and reduce anxiety about readiness.
>>524342482I don't think this is aimed at Taiwan exactly. Taiwan is right off the coast. They can hit it with land based missiles. Far larger ones too, like ballistic missiles. After all a continental plate isn't strictly limited in the weight or size of armament it can carry.So I assume it's chiefly a South China Sea thing, to put pressure on US overseas bases like Guam, and to sell to third world shit holes.There's another important thing to consider though:>it's just a cargo containerCould be on any ship and virtually anywhere. Nobody looks into these things uninvited (actually they do, but less than 1%). The thing may well stand around in any habor on the planet (where it could be launched as well) and may unknowingly be loaded on any ship hired to transport it, no matter its flag.
Holy shit this is literally like my Red Alert vidya
>>524338316>chink missiles LOL
>>524338316>>524338379>>524338441>>524340946>made in China Pwetty scaywwy
>be US>schizophrenicly afraid of China using BRI ports as dual use for military ships>trashes international law on the first weeks of trying to kick China out of the hemisphere>???>now the entire world shipping trade are chinese military ships
>>524344754What retardation is this?
>>524344854literally every piece of american media about chinese infraestrucre project abroad be like>uh eh this is evil because uh... these big ass ports can be used by military ships not just civilian. This is clearly some dual use evil chinese plot to have ports for the navy when a war breaks out!clearly projecting your obsession with military use and thinking of your planned war with china.Now the biggest commercial ship fleet in the world, of the biggest ship manufacturing country and biggest trading partner of most countries in the world are all have a militar use. I hope those two tankers were worth it.
>>524344569280 barrel rocket launcher, Type-ChadGPT is based
>>524340821Eh the chinks have been doing this for at least 10 years. It's not exactly some lightbulb idea regardless of who came up with it.
>>524340821The US coped with concepts like these to arm their pathetic vassals to fight against China, but it turns out that the country with a civilian fleet of 189,000 ships and the world largest shipbuilding industry may want to have a word on it.
>>524338441Santa is not kidding around this time
>>524338316PppppfffftttttttMachine guns and anything on board like cannons will do shit in a modern war. Sea drones or aircraft from afar or ships from afar would destroy it. Missiles/drones beat cannons/guns due to range.
>>524341844What is Modi doing on Trump's side? He's every bit a traitor as the Jews and Chinks. India will never turn against Israel, they owe everything to Russian Jews importing them into Western nations. When they get chased out, the gravy-train goes bye-bye and back to street shitting they all go.
>>524346553Hey guys remember when Israel opened a port for the Chinese when all those Jews were forcing those vaccines on Western nations? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
>>524342754>deciding whether or not a surface ship is a combatant.Well, Since we are on the age of piracy, and post-NPT everyone is a combatant.
>>524346829>post-NPTwhats that?
>>524346956Non-Proliferation Treaty
>>524338316>Convert a slow ship with a huge profile, that cannot evasive maneuver>Has a huge cargo hold lacking seperating bulkheads meaning it will uncontrollably and catastrophically flood after taking a single good hitGreat idea. Implessive even I'd dare say.
>>524341308ACK-shually, they got the idea of disguising anti-ship missiles inside shipping containers from Russia.The point here is not just putting missiles on a ship (that would be retarded), but disguising a combat vessel as a civilian ship.tl;dr stfu nigga u dum
>>524347186You are a reductionist retard.Ships like this are not meant for prolonged combat, but to destroy the enemy (even multiple enemy vessels) with a surprise barrage of anti-ship missiles.
>>524342482Idk Taiwan mag dumping on the mainland would be quite the deterrent. But to be honest it's matters as much to me as black on black Intercity violence.
>>524342226What if they're trying to carry stuff for the army as cargo in addition to the missile launchers? If my little robots get through and they lose those things, they're more upset than I am about losing my dumbass robot. Germans are good strategists but not in the big picture. Also, consider OIL, the idea is to jerry-rig available civvy ships, no? Are they going to fit all these expendable missile carriers with all-electric engines? If no, you're losing that tanker of gas feeding the engine, and I don't know that the chinese army is so modern that they solely rely on batteries, so bleeding gas is not ideal for them.
>>524349349Anon, the chinks are making like 90% of every cargo ship in the world, why would they double dip their disposable missile launchers with cargo close to the battle?
>>524338316looks like a joke edit to medon't mind me though, I'm a critical thinker
>>524339619seacan missiles are not a new concept
