I saw a piece on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) recently where a Nationalist veteran who stayed in China after the civil war ended was interviewed. The piece was mostly about the CCP recognising the KMT contribution to the war, and giving Nat vets a full army pension the same as retired PLA people get. What I found interesting was what he had to say about the fighting. He claimed his unit ended up using guerrilla tactics the same as the communists did, which kind of flies in the face of conventional wisdom about the war in China.

The thing which really impressed me is that he said it didn't matter if people were KMT and Communist, they were all fighting to defend China. It gives me hope that the situation with Taiwan will eventually be resolved peacefully.

I'll post a link to the interview if I find it online. Too busy to go looking right now.

Exactly. In addition, none of the vehicles in those pictures actually look like TELs. Sure, the cab layout looks a little similar, but remember those fake IRBMs NK showed off a little while back during a parade? They bought the transports from Chinese civilian companies.

If you wanted to and had the money to do so, you could go and buy yourself one of those exactly same superheavy trucks and paint it green. But adding a big cylinder to it does not make you a nuclear power.

Not every such superheavy truck with a large diameter cylinder on it in China is carrying an ICBM, otherwise China would have missiles to rival the Russians and Americans. :rolleyes:

Do you actually see any sort of police or military escorts anywhere in those pictures you posted? A single person in uniform?

The fact that you have guys in jeans and trainers and other civilian clothing milling around, with the doors to the cab open would suggest those civies are the drivers and crews on that rig.

There is lax security, but there is zero security in those pictures you posted, which is a clear sign those trucks are not TELs, and what they are transporting are not missiles.

Those pictures just show trucks carrying large cylinders, which could be anything from a section of prefabricated tunnel, to specialist machinery, to the legs of oil rigs or wind turbines or any number of things.

That, incidentally, also shows how hard it is to find ICBMs in China - there is so much general civilian and commercial activity involving superheavy trucks that you are likely to get a hello of a lot of false positives.

As for Ultra's fanciful (to put it politely) plots about ambushes or bombs, well, lets just say that would be unrealistic even for the movies and does not warrant any more of my time.




Oh, I forgot, those trucks looking exactly like an ICBM Launcher is in fact transporting prefabricated tunnel, or legs of oil rigs or wind turbines. So I guess these are all civilian transports too then?

This one is really a truck transporting a water pipe.

Also a truck transporting water pipes. This one is higher capacity, it can transport 10 water pipes!

Chinese people are thirsty. Must have more water pipes.

...childish nonsense...

Before you might have been excused for simply not knowing enough, and so made a bad call based on incomplete information, that happens to the best of us and is forgivable.

But the above is nothing more than childish petulance and wilful ignorance. There is no excuse for that.

I already told you where to look, 30 seconds of googling would have got you where you needed to be.

Oh please, it takes a special level of brain dead stupidity to transport ICBMs through cities using good old regular city streets without any military & police escort. Nobody is that incompetent.

The police regularly shut down streets to vehicular & pedestrian traffic for events such as civilian helicopters lifting materials, medical helicopters landings, shooting scenes for a movie, heck in China the the police in pretty much every Chinese city shutdown the streets around test sites every single year just for the college entrance exam. Do you honestly think they'd allow actual ICBMs to drive around cities without any escort & allowing civilian in such close proximity to them?


Are these ICBMs as well?

Ultra, although you are relatively new, you have been here long enough to know better.

This is the PRC/PLA Victory Parade Thread, not a "tell all," about what you think is wrong with China.

That's nation bashing and it is not allowed and constitutes flame bait.. In addition it is completely off topic.

You are receiving a warning over this. Any more will result in a suspension. After that, upon returning, if you do more, you will be banned.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS MODERATION.
