Beijing: China is now going to become the world’s largest air force power. Navy Admiral John C. Aquilino, head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, revealed this information in a recent testimony on Capitol Hill. They highlight China’s ambitious military modernization efforts and their potential to reshape global power dynamics. Speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 21, Aquilino claimed in relation to the People’s Liberation Army that China, which has the world’s largest navy, would soon have the world’s largest air force. China can leave America behind in this matter.
Aquilino said the magnitude, scope and scale of this security challenge cannot be underestimated, the Eurasian Times report says. Aquilino specifically pointed to the large number of warplanes possessed by Chinese military forces. In its 2023 report on China’s military power, the Pentagon said the PLA Air Force and Navy together have more than 3,150 aircraft. The US Air Force claims approximately 4,000 non-trainer, non-drone aircraft. Additionally, the United States maintains over several thousand aircraft in its Navy, Marine Corps, and Army branches.
America’s concern is increasing
The American Air Force has spread its scope all over the world and is constantly facing problems to deal with the challenges coming in that scope. The US Army has invested in advanced missile defense systems to reduce the number of strategic fighter aircraft. Experts say that a decrease in the number of fighter jets could pose a threat to national security, because America’s territory is very large. Despite this, America cannot make big investments in weapons due to economic problems.
America gave a big blow to Netanyahu, Israel will not be able to bomb Gaza!
Experts say that China is trying to target American military bases and is also working on a plan to neutralize them with its missile capability. China’s strategy is to make America’s important airports inoperative and not allow its fifth generation fighter jets to fly. This may shift the balance of power in his favor. China is also keeping an eye on any possible conflict, especially in Taiwan. He is continuously increasing his military strength on sea, sky and land.
