Interesting stuff right there PACE.

If you're going to invade a country, what are the steps to doing so? Something like:

A - stealth craft destroy enemy AA
B - bombers come in to destroy logistics, communication, etc.
C - tanks and infantry secure the rest?

I know it depends on the situation but I'm sure there's some basic steps they follow.

What country has the best chance at defeating the US military? Other than the actual country's government.

Actually, I'd say take out radar station's with AGM-88's first, or the new tacit rainbow missiles.

The country with the best chance of beating the US? Hard to say. If china attacked the USA, Russia would probably attack China for personal gain, or vice versa. Military power wise, though, I'd say Russia. China's army has good equipment, but they'd need to overtake the USA. The USA can easily take down small scale attacks.

Both Communist. Both with scores to settle against the US. Both have had UN vetos against the US and vice versa.

They'd sooner ally against the US than attack each other.

I strongly disagree. China and Russia hate each other. They hate each others types of communism. Russia is pretty democratic now. Trust me, China and Russia hate each other. I'll get proof of that.

Stalin and Mao hated each other yes, but they both hated America the most. Kinda like the Iran, Iraq and Israel relationship.

They pretended to help each other, but they really don't like each other. However, the USSR had worse relations with China than the current Russia. So, they don't hate each other as much. If ww3 broke out, on power would want the other 2 powers to weaken each other, and then fight.

Russia and China are not even militarily comparable with the US. You forgot the whole NATO thing too.

Actually, china would probably be most likely to attack America. I think Russia would wait for an oppurtune moment.

Cyber attack would be more likely, given China's past record.

It's a good thing China doesn't have to worry about reverse parking in their tanks...

China has stayed pretty much in it's own corner of the world for the last 2700 years, doubt that will change.

They may extend their influence around the globe, but they will give clear warning before they take up the mantle of 'world superpower'.
Namely, Korea and Japan (their historic enemies) will likely be the first hit.

The three-way ill-will fest between Korea-China-Japan is at least twice as old as Judaism, Christianity, or Islam - as an example

oh, not a plane, but a damn cool aircraft anyways;

https://www.guncopter.com/images/mh-60l-dap.jpg

MH-60L Direct Air Penetrator

FFAR rockets, 30mm autocannons (yes, multiple M230 where the AH-64 has one, 7.62 miniguns for the door gunners, hellfire missiles for the odd enemy armor, optional .50 cal miniguns..

FLIR, radar, in-flight refueling, countermeasures out the wazoo, navigational gizmos out the other side of the wazoo

Concept variant originally designed and tested by the 160th SOAR maintenance personnel, not an aerospace design team.
They thought it up, built the needed parts, tested it, then forced it through the DoD approval process.

Guncopter.com page on the MH-60DAP

Japan did some seriously messed up things during WW2 for example, but they've completely changed since then. So why would China still hate Japan?

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

If I could understand the 'Asian mind' well enough to explain that, I'd have a 'KP' ASI next to one of my MOS.

We'll start with '3000 years of bad blood is hard to wash away. Ask the Middle East'

Edit: and, if you post D&ST type stuff in this thread, you should at least post some appropriate aviaton pr0n to make up for your sins!

I interpreted that as, "Asians like to hold grudges". Maybe it has a connection to their past excessive yet admirable sense of honor.

Here's a good one of an AIDC ching-kuo, Mirage 2000-5 and an F-16B doing some highway takeoff fun. Imagine how a highway takeoff with the STOL gripen would be. That would be amazing.
