So the German embassy in China thought they were clever.

They posted on Weibo, a person holding a blank piece of paper.

Obviously in support of the protests that happened in China

But the Chinese on Weibo is having a field day, photoshopping jokes on them...examples in the🧵
This one says:

"German soap is very good, but too bad, you only have cold water to shower"

This is a double entendre

Because Germans during WW2 used the fat from murdered Jewish victims and turned them into bars of soap
This one say:

"Glory to Russia"

Mocking the constant blabbering of "slava ukraini" by German and other EU embassy Weibo accounts
This one says:

"The German government would like to apologize to the 158,000 people who died of covid in Germany"
This one says:

"Lessons learned

Next time, let's hope the middleman do not siphon off the money we pay for the protesters

And also, make sure the protesters learn the local dialects properly"
This refers to a string of incidents, where protesters were promised certain amount of money, only to have most of that taken away by the middleman organizers

It also makes fun of locals scolding "protesters" from out-of-town who don't speak the local dialect
This one says:

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong"
This makes fun of a paid protester, who immediately apologizes and admitted wrong doing, as soon as he was dragged away by the police
Some of you might say, hey, that's pretty cruel
Well..
1) Don't sell your country out

2) I have heard from a national security insider, that these low-level paid protesters will only get a warning and a phone call to their parents

It's the organizers that needs to be worried
This one says:

"Costa Rica, send us home"

Referring Germany's poor performance at the World cup and will be eliminated if they lose to Costa Rica
This one says:

"American master, please be kind, and give us some natural gas"
"Z"

Can my Russian friends translate the Cyrillic?
I think it says Slava Rossiya
This one says:
"I didn't return my shared bike"
Referring to this protester, being led away by police,
who is more concerned about the potential 50 RMB fine than the actual protest
We Chinese know of the protests, and we are against the foreign backed color revolution

Perhaps this is why western media is lying to your face, claiming the Chinese don't know of the protests

With the introduction of the diesel-electric hybrid tank by China; The ZTZ-100, we now can have sci-fi systems like:
♦️Electromagnetic armor (EFA)
♦️Electrothermal Chemical Gun (ETC gun)

Detailed thread on the future of land/armored warfare developed by China.
🧵 Image
The Type-100 family is made up of serval platforms, including the ZTZ-100 tank and the ZBD-100 fire support vehicle and they are only the start.

There will also be a 50 ton class heavy main battle tank with 125mm electrothermal chemical(ETC) gun with electromagnetic armor (EFA) Image
Image
Image
Image
We will also have a long range fire support vehicle with vertical launch systems (VLS), capable of storing 20+ long range (10km+) heavy anti-tank missiles.

They together create a network of systems on land, capable of first detection, first shot and first kill.

A thread detailing the speed, range and trajectory of China's anti-ship hypersonic missiles.

Our potential enemies have no way of intercepting these missiles, so it's only fair to let them know, how their billion dollar ship will be destroyed.
🧵 Image
YJ-17 Ship launched hypersonic glide vehicle. (HGV launched from vertical launch systems)

Range: over 1000km.
Warhead: 300kg
Cruise speed: Mach 5-8.
Terminal speed: Mach 8+

Launch trajectory; Boosted to 50km altitude, glide in the upper atmosphere, then dive down at Mach 8+. Image
Image
YJ-19 submarine launched Scramjet hypersonic missile.

Range: over 600km.
Warhead: 160kg.
Cruise speed: Mach 5-6.
Terminal speed: Mach 6+

Launch trajectory; Boosted to 20km, cruise at a flat trajectory at 20km, then dive down from above at Mach 6+. Image

How China's 4th gen tank exemplifies the differences in force design between China and the US?🧵1/8

The US military has global projection needs, their weapons are not specialized to do certain tasks in certain regions against certain enemies. It's a case of jack of all trade.

Meanwhile, China's ZTZ-201 light MBT is specifically designed to fight in Taiwan and the Himalayas.Image
Taiwan's useful terrain is very flat, dotted with cities and towns that are less than 2km apart.

Hence engagement even for armored/mechanized forces will be that 2km dash over farmlands then into cities.
Short engagements between tanks, if it ever happens, will be from covered position shooting at each other.

This means drones and sensor networks are more important than pure mass in armor. Image

Comprehensive minute-by-minute illustrative thread, on how the Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian conducts cyclical attack operation.
🧵1/15

The optimal air wing composition:
⏺️24x J-35(green & red), divided into 2 attack waves of 12 each.
⏺️24x J-15T (blue & purple), divided into 2 attack waves of 12 each.
⏺️4x J-15D electronic warfare fighter (orange).
⏺️4x J-600 AEW&C (light blue).
⏺️~10 helicopters (black) for anti-submarine, search and rescue missions.Image
Cyclical operations are the most common attack mode of aircraft carriers, they divide the carrier airwing into attack waves and launch them with intervals in between.

This allows sustained operation for a long periods of time. Image
🔹Wave 1 (green J-35 stealth fighters) takes 12 minutes to launch 12x J-35, + 2 min to launch 1x KJ-600 (light blue) + 1 min to launch 2x J-15D EW fighter (orange).
= 15 minutes.

**Catapults can launch aircraft with 30 second intervals.Image

A comprehensive thread about Chinese aircraft carrier operations.

How do we compare to the US aircraft carrier operations?

For the PLA navy, there are 2 main types of carrier attacks:
🔹Full-deck strike (Full deck sortie).
🔹Cyclical operation.
1/11🧵 Image
Full-deck strike is when we launch all fighters in a single strike package.

Cyclical operation is when we divide the fighters into attack waves, and launch them sequentially.

Full-deck strike is used when you want overwhelming firepower delivered in the initial phase of combat.
However, full-deck strike cannot be sustained for long, since all the fighters would need to land in a short span of time, which puts immense pressure on the deck crew to rearm and refuel.

The most important characteristics to 6th generation fighter is stealth.

6th gen stealth means, All-Aspect Stealth (stealthy from all directions) and Broadband (multi-spectrum) stealth.

What is it, how does it work?
1/8🧵 Image
5th gen stealth is achieved by aligning control surfaces to as fewer directions as possible, this edge alignment ensures radar signals are reflected back towards specific directions.

This is a simplified explanation without going into specular reflections or creeping waves etc. Image
Image
HOWEVER, the problem with 5th gen stealth is that they are detectable by low frequency radars with long wavelengths.

Resonant scattering is when radar waves interact with a target in a way that causes them to be scattered strongly, often at specific frequencies, due to the target's size and shape resonating with the radar's wavelength.
