Subject: China unveils new nuclear capable bombers and long range missiles.
China continues it's trend of modernization. Nuclear airborne launched missiles that can hit Hawaii. Comforting.
China’s military recently deployed an upgraded strategic bomber that will carry the military’s new long-range land attack cruise missile, capable of attacking Hawaii and Guam, according to a draft congressional report.
The Oct. 8 draft of the forthcoming report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission also reveals that China has developed a new armed drone nearly identical to U.S. military’s Reaper. The Chinese missile-firing drone likely was developed through Chinese cyber espionage against U.S. defense contractors.
The report highlights a rapidly modernizing Chinese military that includes large numbers of new weapons and new warfighting techniques, including attack capabilities in space and cyberspace.
“PLA modernization is on track to alter the security balance in Asia over the next five to 10 years, challenging decades of U.S. military preeminence,” the report concludes.
On the bomber, the People’s Liberation Army in June accepted the first of 15 new Hongzha-6K, or H-6K, bombers. The bomber is based on a late 1950s Soviet design but has an extended range. However, its long-range cruise missile is new.
The report said the H-6K, also known as “Zhan Shen” or God of War, “can carry China’s new long-range land-attack cruise missile (LACM).”

Ohmygawd we have so much to fear....
Lets look at china's Drone program
Spoiler:
Herp a Derp we can copy western designs by looking at them but have NO dam clue about why they are designed the way they are and what components are inside of it
Because putting nukes on planes when you have a zero chance of obtaining air supremacy is a Good idea................
heck this is probably out there because the US is probably going to let Japan rearm itself to maintain power in the region

I don't know why they'd do this. I'm glad they're doing it, just like I'm glad they're still getting their radars and engines from the Russians, but I just don't know why they do it.

They really haven't bothered trying to change it...
Well at least the companies involved know to step their security up.

This is World War 2.1, this patch has been indev for quite some time so hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Totally.
I mean, the Russian patch was really predictable and boring. I don't even know why they bothered with the Italians.

Hopefully they use the same proven game engine. If they totally revamp the user interface I'll flip.
And I'm definitely going to wait at least 6 months before purchase.

Am I the only one who is most intrigued by the fact that there are pieces of military equipment called things like "The Reaper", "The Pterodactyl", "Soaring Dragon", "God of War", and "Dark Sword"?
I thought these sorts of names were relegated to video games. I'm not sure if that's awesome or not.

You should call the guys making MWO. They're currently using "Yen-Lo-Wang" which just sounds like a really bad dick joke.
