Under-estimating the PLA is a mistake

You can have a report with a fancy name and alleged cache, but to say that Chinese weapons are 20 years behind and not up to the challenge just doesn't appear true.

This is a good read from Kokota (PDF) but I wouldn't under-estimate an adversary that can produce reasonably good weapons...

...in large numbers.

Consider these:

Chinese Military Cargo Aircraft via Chinese Military Review Blog.

So how good is the Chinese VT-4 Main Battle Tank?

Chinese IFVs & Mobile Guns...

Chinese Fire Support Frigate (Rocket).

Chinese Air Force trains in Russia.

J-31 arrives at big Chinese Air Show.

Norinco AH-4 155mm Light-weight Howitzer, AKA Chinese M777 via Chinese Defense Blog.

Z-10 Fierce Thunderbolt via China Military Review...

PLA NLOS "Sino-Spike" ATGM Vehicle...

United Arab Emirates ordered 150 VP11 4x4 MRAP vehicles to Chinese Defense Company NORINCO.

Chicom arms video shows parity and in some cases, superiority

PLA-AF Airborne Early Warning & Control Programs

PLA Air Defence Radars

PLA Mechanised Infantry Division Air Defence Systems-PLA Point Defence Systems

PLA Area Defence Missile Systems

PLA Air to Air Missiles

Russian / PLA Low Band Surveillance Radars (Counter Low Observable Technology Radars)

PLA Cruise Missiles--PLA Air - Surface Missiles

PLA Guided Bombs
