🎙Narration by: Ryan (Discord: wLaser4930)
These lessons have been implemented in the South China Sea on Chinese-occupied disputed islands. Beijing has created a formidable intelligence network where every move of China's competitors, like the US, India, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and other southeast Asian countries, could be thoroughly controlled.
Through the Spratly and the Paracel alone pass 1/3 of the global trade flow, making Southeast Asia and the South China Sea extremely important to the wellbeing of Asian economies.
In the South China Sea, China has set up complex air and surface surveillance radar arrays. Chinese islands in the Spratly are also equipped with anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles, capable of threatening any forceful America-led operation in the South China Sea.
The Chinese idea of informationized warfare lays at the basis of the construction of military outposts in the South China Sea. Holding the information advantage, whilst denying it to its competitors, is essential for Beijing's strategists in securing China's maritime border and creating a buffer zone.
All in all the Spratly archipelago offers a great example of how China is implementing its military doctrine and how a conflict between the US and China could be a costly one.

Dude your videos have put context to almost everything going on in the Pacific, from the submarine deal with Australia to the importance of coal and the energy crisis in China and the role Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines plays in containing China's influence in the Pacific.
Awesome series, looking forward to more!
So the first island chain
Eh, kinda. There is a lot more happening behind the curtains than just “they stop china, they get weaponsâ€
If you continue this kind of quality, I bet you 10 bucks that you hit 100000 subs in 3 months
I bet 20 dollars
I have 3 dollars
Wow, I better get back to work on the next videos then. See you in three months! :P Thank you so much for the cheer!
I should have started a Casino instead of a YT channelðŸ˜
That's ok too! If we hit 100k, champagne!
Excellent analysis. This channel is going to be big.
Outstanding presentation, finding any information on this subject in detail is very difficult on CZcams. Your videos really are a wellspring of strategic thinking.
Thank you so much for the flattering comment! Perhaps, I should consider changing the Channel's name to Von Kamome-vitz!😅
@@Kamome163 Its easy should Xi Pingpong wants to engage in war , knock out there gps and internet satellites first
as they use satellites for war machines navigations and missile guidance defense
and offensive systems, and internet for refueling stations, powerplants, resupply

go in with air strikes to cripple them even more

The world is full of failed “impregnable fortressesâ€.
When did he states that?
It doesn't appear that the Spratley Islands bases are intended to be fortresses. I believe Kamome is right on the money in calling them intelligence nodes. If the USN or any allied navy intends to perform combat operations anywhere near these unsinkable information gathering installations, they had better open with a time-on-target strike on all of the radomes. To ignore them would be inviting a rain of the PLA's large, ballistic missiles targeted on your task force.
The goal isn't to make the forts impregnable. The goal is to detect a threat first so there can be faster backup once shit hits the fan.
The counter to that is to either hit fast and hard (a full on invasion basically). Or knock out the systems, which also needs a hard and fast (yet stealthy) approach.
If that is truly the goal, satellite detection would work much easier. This is really about ill mannered CCP and PLA imperialism, you jerks.
​@@taramaforhaikido7272We perfected SEAD and DEAD around 1993. These offshore data nodes (reefs) have a major vulnerability -- they don't move. The better AI wins the first stage of the fight. After that, we'll gain control the air. Defeating their submarines will be the last stage.
Your analysis is spot on and refreshing…keep up the excellent work. Your use of these detailed maps are very insightful to the content and more revealing than other analysis I’ve seen…your providing us with this unique perspective is so informational and detailed I wish you a lot of success.
Problem with those islands is that they are high value, high payoff targets with practically no ability to defend themselves against the US Navy and Marine Corps. They will be the first things to get hit in any war, and they will have no hope of maintaining their operations. And then they'll get invaded and taken.
True. Is not really a matter if the USN or the USMC are able to take them or not. They absolutely are without a shade of doubt. Is just how many resources and man they’ll have to use to accomplish that. The PLAN is trying to make it as hard as possible
These are basically forward deployed watchtowers, expendable and would also serve as tripwires.
Why fight on your territory when you can make your enemy fight for some useless land ? Let him spend men and resources trying to take a few worthless islands whilst you can prepare a counter attack to attack his core ....remember Iwo Jima ? 50 thousand Americans died trying to take basically a volcanic lump of rock whilst Japan made preparation to defend Okinawa , after Okinawa , America realised that it was going to cost a lot of men and materials to take the Japanese mainland that's why they used the first nukes ....China plans to do the same ....to be able to attack China unmolested those islands need to be taken by conventional means , America cannot use nukes on them as then China can claim the USA used nukes first and retaliate with nukes ala their no first use policy ...America cannot take those islands by just aircraft alone , i.e bombing because of the extensive radar and anti aircraft network that has been set up there ...therefore boots on the ground is the only answer so whilst a battle rages for those islands , China has time to prepare a more robust response to America's core forces which would be exposed once the attack on those islands have been initiated ...
I doubt the USMC would use Boots on the ground to take those islands. The big weakness is that the location of the radars are fixed and known.
They would face a barage of BM, cruise missiles, glide bombs and loitering munitions.
China would have used a lots of assets to build them with no real purpose.
@@johnnyvandep1375 The same can be said of all US bases in the region.
Great video...just subbed
I watch one video an had to subscribe for more content. Thank you for the easy explanation.
Another Great Channel!!!

great video, facts no emotion
Please make more videos like this! You gained a sub and a like for this video!
Awesome video
Thank you for the comment. Yeah, you hit a sore point. Japanese consensus on JIETAI and art. 9 is too polarized. In my experience, the majority of the Japanese people I talked with are not really interested in studying and understanding this issue and just want to not think about it altogether. Do you think this will change in the next years?
Excellent work.
Thank you!🙌
Excellent ðŸ‘
v good explainer and lovely data vizulation
Thank you so much for the feedback!
A year later... and there is a greater U.S. presence in the SCS. American, British, Australian, French, and on and on.
These “grabbed†islands developed into fortresses will soon be “recovered†by Admiral Nature!
when will 'grabbed' Americas, Australia, New Zealand recovered by the Admiral Natives ?
doubt it. islands will be fine
If I were the PLA, I’d have way more SAMs planted on those islands. Subscribed.
When the shit hits the fan China are prepared with more SAM and patrolling fighter squadrons and deployed naval assets with air defence.
War do not start over a day, that is somthing that are being built up, the day China start deploying fighter squadrons, AWACS and SAM on this islands are the day you should take cover.
A primary defense for SAM sites is to be able to knock down quickly and move elsewhere, otherwise they risk getting struck by SEAD sorties. These islands have nowhere else to set up at, and once cut off from reliable resupply of missiles to shoot the entire place becomes vulnerable to even simple carpet bombing with cluster munitions.
Excellent analysis.
How the hell do you only have 5k subscribers with this quality content
I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! To say the truth I’m impressed by quality of the comments. That’s already super rewarding!

When the CCP has an army of paid shills that's how.
Can you make more about chinese military.
Good content ðŸ‘
Amazing content…this will be on par of channels like Covert Cabal or Caspian Report
It's subtly pro-China propaganda, it takes a few videos to recognize that though.
I can see the rise of one new great Yt channel
Good information

Thanks, Michael!
Is this integrated radar/intelligence/reconnaissance system distributed over the man made islands imperious to an emp?
Facinating! How any country should protect it's privacy and interests...
Getting this channel recommended was perfect. sub+bell instantly after binging ur 3 videos my guy.
Wow! Hammer, as far as I know you're my first binge watcher! High five!🙌
you don't need a big military to destroy these island bases, a super typhoon is enough
No places to hide on the Chinese man made islands during the B52 carpets bombing run. Not like Vietnam, no mountains or jungles on the man made islands to escape bombing. These fragile man made islands will not survive under heavy bombing. During the Vietnam war, after each B52 bombing run, hundreds of bomb craters, 10 ft in diameters, 6 ft deep were left on the ground.
Hundred of B52s were shot down by Chinese missiles deployed in north Vietnam. That was half a century ago……
Yes anyone living on those islands will be destroyed
Great overview of the topic. I appreciate the sources!

Everytime I hear “protect the sea lanes†i chuckle. Protect the sealanes from China? Lol dont they use it the most being the worlds largest exporter?
Sounds like the US wants to control the sealanes to strangle China
Thanks for the great comment! As China is one of the biggest trading countries on earth, it also knows that trade lines are its biggest weakness because they could be subjected to disruption by foreign powers. That’s why US strategists like Mahan theorized the control of the sea doctrine, recognizing how SLOC are essential to a country economic well-being. China knows that and it’s trying to build up its blue water fleet for this reason too among others
No country should be controlling the sea lanes.
@@antoniokoronel8142 Right, these bases shouldn’t be there. They can cut off trade, to all the other countries. Steal the fish, and oil resources, from the land they are occupying.
Thanks
شكر so much, Hamad!
All 200 countries need to claim their own 9-dash line in the west philippines sea and send their navies. Imagine 200 of the world's navies in one place. Perfect for armageddon!
Why no details of subsea communications?
Can we get an update for this please.
Good video with one issue. Stealth aircraft can more easily be detected with lower frequency radar, not higher frequency radar.
I think if we drop like 3-4 MOABS it’s gone 😂
No, long-range SEAD and DEAD strikes enabled by better AI will be decisive.
Those radars and sonars are of fix position that can be easily programmed to targeting computers , plus saturation attack could easily disabled those
america make china great again
Perhaps a good spread of Tomahawk missiles might solve the problem.
Those radars were set up to such scale that, once some massive attack is detected, a full retaliation against US bases and fleets will be triggered. That's why they don't even put a big fleet to guard those islands.
That would be all out war on China. Pretty sure China’s long range missiles can be set to target US mainland in minutes (if not already standing by).
@@tkw3864 I'm certain if China can get away with all sorts of atrocities by telling really entertaining lies.......surely someone else could do the same.
@Ivan
Nice try Chang.
@@tkw3864 Quite convincing if you ask me. If China can do something, so can everyone else. There is nothing special about China.
I like the video
8:20 - Slight correction: The Ocean-E stations were built by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, CETC not CETF.
9:48 that's 90% of Palawan well within their radar range
a KJ-500 alone hovering over Chinese-occupied features in the Spratlys can cover 100% of Palawan and a good chunk of northern Kalimantan too. You can check radar coverage here too amti.csis.org/power-projection-network/
Please could you dedicate one of your further video to AUKUS!
Sure! It'll be the topic of one of the next videos!
Who the hell in this day and age just build islands and claim it’s theirs
Good question!
Why it's only the ill mannered aggressor CCP who do....
Those artificial islands are sitting ducks. They more outposts than fortresses. The only purpose they would serve is as a base of operations for offensive strikes. They don’t seem to be organized for that. How easy or difficult would it be to isolate or bypass them. How long would they be able to operate without resupply?
What resupply? Sink a couple of those US carriers with hypersonic missiles and the battle is over in minutes.
9 years and the US still wouldn’t touch an inch of these islands.
@@tkw3864 missiles are obsolete to the USA. They got lasers now ya fool😂 Go educate how fast they get incinerated in seconds.
@Anomize23
In your dream Chang.
I think Taiwan also has the same 9-dash line claim. It has been around from the 1940's.
Tw was 12 then, I think.
@@medialcanthus9681 No it wasn't a separate entity. There was a nationalist gov in china then and they were trying to wipe out the communists who later won the civil war & the nationalist fled to taiwan but they held on to the 9-dash line & still do.
​@@kitdesilva The KMT 11(or 12)-dash line claim has several extra dashes in Vietnamese waters that the PRC ceded in their 9-dash claim in good faith to their new Vietnamese Communist friend. They are essentially the same claims but not identical, so technically you can't say Taiwan uses the 9-dash claim.
@@user-pj6ch6cc4d Thank you.
Taiwan had an 11-dash line soon after the WWII, It was the US navy that helped send Taiwanese--or Republic of China troops to reclaim the Spratleys from the Japanese forces. People's Republic of China inherited the 11-dash line from ROC.
These things will be the first things to go 'Boom' if anything happens. Full Stop.

Where does these islands' food and water come from? If from mainland China, that's a bit vulnerable in the case of all-out conflict?
RO plant for water,
Underground facilities for food ..
@@udhayakumarMN There is no sunlight “underground†and there would be no “soil†only sand and maybe Guano.
@@anEyePhil i meant ready to eat foods like that...
@@udhayakumarMN So all those ready to eat foods would need to be delivered regularly from the mainland. An army marches on its stomach. Logistics is more essential than anything in defence.
nice but is it really accurate and where do you extract these info... and so the
question of integrity and realism... will be waiting... although very real as in any
netflix shows and series...
Great presentation and analysis, positive outlook rather than negativity and "China bashing" because "we don't have one" or can't keep up
but how do you identify what submarines belong to which country....could be US, could be russia, could be vietnam, japan....like how?
China has got no choice but have to after the US got hold of Malaysia airline flight MH370 fm Penang, Malaysia to Beijing, China with a secretive electronic cargo plus its 15 Chinese electronic engineers on board. China knows dame well what happened to that missing flight. Till today neither any of the plane wreckage being found in any ocean nor on land. A month after the incidence US President Obama paid an urgent visit to Malaysia then prime minister Najib on negotiating on the compensation regarding the MAS airliner. It was no secret that the US remotely controlled the airplane to Diago Garcia island in the Indian Ocean. For that China got to strengthen its naval military surveillance in the South China Sea to deter any of such incidents fm recurring again.
1. The pilot was insane and caused that plane to crash off the west coast of Australia as it would by running out of fuel.
2. A piece of the wing washed up on a small island as predicted by an ocianographer who knew the ocean currents.
So many conspiracy theories lol
You should make more videos
All I see is a stationary target. The islands may be "unsinkable" (at least in the short term; they have yet to prove their resilience in the face of tsunamis and long term erosion), but that means nothing when it comes to the targets themselves.
Thank you for the information and timing of this video as it fits into the scheme of current events in the China Sea region. Ultimately it may very well boil down to a political surrender by Taiwan if it's Allied forces are convinced by computer battle simulation models of an indeterminate victory.
Taiwan is a free democracy. It will never surrender.
Taiwan independence means war.It MUST and will definitely be reunified with the mainland!
@@anEyePhil æ£ç¢ºâœ…

I continue to be more and more impressed with each new (to me) video of yours that I watch! +1 sub from me. 😀
Thank you so much, Patricia!! That means a lot! I'll work hard to get better!
This was very well planned for years. Wow
What would be the chances of so called stealth ships ?
Also if your enemy weak? Make them stand high in arrogance.
All those radars and electronics work great (supposedly) until the first pulse weapon goes off. And they don’t have to be nuclear either. Or the submarine or air launched anti-radiation missiles and/or cruise missiles slam into the radar domes. And we have lots of them.
I can see a problem with that. While China's ability to use radar would be taken out, so would ours. It might be more important for the US to keep track of what the Chinese are doing than wrecking their ability. Just explosives would work fine. I would guess that control of satellites that can do the same thing would be necessary, if they work there.
Unsinkable but they're sinking on they're own😂😂😂😂😂
"If you do not know you are a Bully, then you will have no friends. And if you have no friends, you will lose." Unknown you tube person
static defensive posistions are terrible. static targets are brilliant. Just saying...
But aren't these Chinese outposts sitting ducks for Western missiles?
It's even funnier when you realize Vietnam has more island outpost than China in the SCS.
They have more islands\features than China! Only a fraction a militarized though
Because Vietnam defeat Mongol invasion 4 time in a row and countless China invasion so no one dare to mess with them... Back then Vietnam are wealthy so they have big boat, Vietnam almost occupied both Laos and Cam until France come... is it normal for strong country to have a lot of sea territory... But then those imperialist come and Vietnam get drown in war so China and Taiwan took their chance and steal some of Vietnam island and build base on it
Vietnam was the first country to start seizing and occupying islands in the South China Seas in the late 1970’s. These islands are very small and less than 100 acres. Vietnam has 27 islands, the Philippines 7, China 7, Malaysia 5 and Taiwan 1 island. It’s all about the fishing and oil resources, that’s why these are spending money to maintain a presence there.
As long as they also dont start to sink.
the problem with those outposts is that they will not last the first day, before they are destroyed by submarine launched cruise missiles, but do make a good trip wire in peace.
True... sea skim Cruze missiles with jam and spoof ......
China will also destroy those that invades into these islands.
@@John-us9rm one typhoon over the top and there gone any way.......
@@nakedlakedip57 already few typhoon had gone. Its still there.
What was discussed here is really nothing different from an other air and ground defense system for any other countries. In terms of equipment, what's mentioned here are pretty standard around the world. Also mounting a radar 30/40 feet above the ground is not going to increase radar detection significantly. Over the horizonal radar detection is not a new technology. Detection range of 430 km is pretty standard for most VHF radar system. Overlaying radar coverage and info from multi sensors is practiced around the world.
Thank you so much for the comment Jack! IMO there a substantial difference with what has been done in other countries. The Seven outposts in the Spratly all have these different radars capabilities creating a multilayered, redundant detection system. The PLAN is not installing any groundbreaking technology on these islets, but they have installed plenty of these systems. As they say there’s a certain quality in quantity. The fact of building that network of radar, of various type and on different platforms (land, sea and air) on seven different islets is something different than from an “other air and ground defense systemâ€. Looking forward to read your reply!
@@Kamome163 The 7 outposts with overlapping multilayered detection system is probably just a function of what is done to create the necessary air defense capability for this particular geographical need. In other outposts like Guam or Diego Garcia, the needs will be different and hence, different system structure will be put in place. In some of the other islands in SCS where countries like Vietnam, Philippines can stake claims and built outposts, these countries would probably have invested in such air defense system if budget permits. Any "dramatization" of what China did in SCS (my apologies if I this was not the case) is not helpful in securing peace and balance of power in the region, especially when the US has a disproportionate military presence in the area.
@@jackwong230 Jack, thank you for your reply. It feels good to have this kind of discussion.
If my video appeared as alarmist and dramatized the situation in the SCS, I'm really sorry. My lacking of not being clear enough. I'll remember that for the next videos!
My goal here is to provide a neutral analysis of what is the situation. I'm not taking, nor want to, any side or preference when discussing these issues in my videos. As you mentioned the US has built extensive detection capabilities on DG and Guam just to name a few. I suppose the building of the THAAD is an even thornier issue. So it's not really about right or wrong is really about taking a different perspective on this kind of issue. For the US is crucial to dampen China's maritime clout and influence in the region, and for China is essential to secure its coastal areas by creating a buffer region.
IMO this is why what is going on in the Spratly is quite relevant.
Is not just the construction of an air defence system, which by what I could read in terms of firepower is much less compared to what a single type-055 carries (www.jhuapl.edu/Content/documents/IntroductiontoSCSMILCAPStudies.pdf). Instead, it has to do with the control of this body of water (Southern SCS) which is becoming more and more like China's backyard. Like what the Caribbean is for the US. If Chinese ships were to suddenly start doing calls and exercises off of Florida's coast, I guess the US wouldn't be too happy about it.
As you can see from my text wall (Sorry about that), talking about all the factors at play will inevitably bring in more dynamics and facts, and my videos would be at least one hour long.
I agree with you, it is important to not foment hatred nor tensions. That's why I want to provide fact-based analysis, from different perspectives, on these issues.
@@Kamome163 I think it's great that your aim is to provide facts and analysis here. However the title "China's Informationized WARFARE Strategy in the South China Sea" has pretty much portray China as the aggressor even though it's operating in its own backyard. Am sure if USA does something similar on either the East or West coast, it'll be known as DEFENSE strategy rather than Warfare Strategy. Looking at the comments section, one can also find more pro US and anti China remarks too. Perhaps a better way to paint a more neutral/balance picture is to include information of US military assets too (South Korea, Japan, Hawaii, Australia and of course US carrier battle groups) so viewers can see and decide if military development in the SCS is one-sided or a respond to possible military threat.
@@jackwong230 except the US installed it with agreement & corporation of the host country and NOT through Unilateral land grab.
@Kamome, "Location: Italy" ? â“â“â“ Really??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
