The military strength comparison of China and the United States has always been a topic of discussion among military fans.In 2023, the media and think tanks of the United States and Russia gave the answer through data comparison.For the 2023 "China Military Power Report" announced by the United States, the report states that the PLA has 2,200 fighters, 459 battleships and nearly 5,000 missiles, and its combat effectiveness ranks first in Asia, and it has brought a lot to the United States."Security threat".Objectively speaking, Chinas military strength is the first deputy in Asia, but the intention of "killing" in the United States is very obvious, but it is to serve the "Chinese threat theory" for hype.Relatively speaking, Russian Satellite News Agency quoted the evaluation results given by well -known think tank data.From the perspective of Russian media, the United States is still the worlds first power that is not allowed, and the comparison of military strength in China and the United States, my country only has quantitative advantages on soldiers and artillery.
Specifically, there is no need to say that the advantages of Chinese military soldiers need to be repeated.In terms of the scale of active duty, the PLA soldiers exceeded 2.03 million and the US military was only 1.39 million. Considering the gap between the population base, my country will maintain it for a long time.In terms of artillery, among the major arms, the PLA Army is enough to touched the wrist with the US Army, which has been fully reflected in the Korean War.For more than half a century, the equipment of the Chinese Army has been continuously updated and iterated, coupled with the assistance of military reform, from the aspect of the number and performance of the weapon, the PLA Army has completed the curve of the U.S. military.
Look at the Air Force. From the perspective of the number of combat aircraft, the Chinese and American Air Force exceeded the scale, while the U.S. military has nearly 2,000Combat aircraft, which far exceeds the Chinese Air Force.From the perspective of the fighter model, in terms of fighter jets, China and the United States have five generations of fighters, but the number of F-35 equipped with the US Air Force equipment is huge. On the premise of the domestic J-20 has not yet been horsepower, we have disadvantages in the number of fifth generation aircraft.In terms of fighter aircraft such as the fourth-generation aircraft, the number of J-16 in my country has exceeded 300, and the J-10 series is around 400 to 600, which is constantly narrowing the gap with the US Air Force.At present, our largest shortcomings are in the field of special aircraft such as transport aircraft and tankers, and its mass production speed is far from reaching the expected goal.In general, the Chinese Air Force is still in the "starting stage of active fighter production". Although the "aging aging" of the US Air Forces fighters is also very serious, the thin camel is larger than the horse.
Relatively speaking, the most intense sector in China and the United States is undoubtedly the navy.If the number of warships alone is compared, the Chinese Navy is the proper "world first."In terms of submarines, the number of Chinese submarines exceeds the United States.But if combined with tonnage and performance, the U.S. Navy is the real world first.In terms of total tonnage, the Chinese Navy is only about one -third of the U.S. Navy.In terms of performance, the U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers have achieved full nuclearization, and their single -ship tonnage is far ahead.Although it is said that in recent years, Chinese new warships "dumplings" have been put into production, and new aircraft carriers have been continuously served in 052D, 054, 055, and new aircraft carriers have been continuously served.There are still shortcomings in many fields.
For example, the ocean naval battle capabilities are the biggest defects of the Chinese Navy today.Although we have the three aircraft carrier lineups, the formation of aircraft carrier combat capabilities still requires a long running -in period.At the same time, the United States has overseas military bases all over the world, which provides convenience for ocean combats. Coupled with various types of auxiliary ships with perfect systems and numerous numbers, the U.S. Navy really has global combat capabilities.Of course, while recognizing the gap, we cannot be arrogant.Although the U.S. Navy is still the number one in the world, problems such as decline in shipbuilding, warship aging, and poor military literacy ginseng have been very serious.On the other hand, the shipbuilding industry ranks first in the world. The development of the navy is booming. In many details of the development and application of warships, we have been at the forefront of the world.Over time, surpassing the U.S. Navy is not an out of reach.
In general, the Chinese military strength is still weaker than the United States at this stage. In combination with the Sino-US game, we can make full use of the two major major games.Advantages for targeted defense.First, the US military power is scattered, and at the same time take into account Europe and the Asia -Pacific. As long as we focus on focusing on the Western Pacific; second, the United States continues to de -industrialization and insufficient military development potential.Gradually make up for the shortcomings, shorten the gap, and truly "hit the iron itself".
