2 Million ground troops make for an interesting adversary

Hey they changed my title again..

[BlackScorpion 0]

According to fas.org, Russia has about million soldiers in active service and 20 million in reserves. Total force, ready: 21 million.

China has over 2 million in active service and about half million in reserves. Total force, ready: 3 million.

So, in active and reserve manpower, Russia would win. But China has more to recruit.

Their weaponry isn't that different (I think), so it would balance things a bit.

errrmmm.... thats wrong China has 50 million soldiers in active duty and 100 million in reserves you can see that on theyr military web site.

Oh and i forgot this Russia has a weapon called "Nuclear Missile" so man power isnt needed anymore.

And isnt this Topic about RHS work or.....?

I suspect it has more to do with Hellfish

When quoting figures for militaries, the difference between the numbers of Frontline combat troops is more important than the total number of personel.

I deny everything and anything.

I deny everything and anything.  

Does that include the price listed in your sig .

And how come chinas got so less troops then russia ? Thats insane , they got the worlds biggest populace and they have LESS troops then russia , who quoted that stuff , they need to have a eye checkup ,arghh its fas.org addons maker forget it get your blueprints and info somewhere else now. this big a mistake is shameful .

Maybe he/she forgot few zeros from the reserve-part?

But anyways, PRC's active duty strenght is "only" about 2.5 million, making it the biggest army in the world.

And the calculations don't include paramilitary forces.

And it depends, how you define "reserves". Of course, if China goes to war and needs more men, that shouldn't be a problem.

But in Russia, according to what I've heard/seen, it's mandatory to go to army. And the service time lasts about 2.5 years.

In China, it's not mandatory. But they still got the world's biggest army. Remember, China is developing country. Many young people, atleast in cities, desire high education nowadays. If you have high education, work abroad vs PRC army career, which would you choose?

Doesn't sound that strange to me, atleast.

yes military service is mandatory in russia, except for those people with severe sicknesses, those who live abroad and those who have unconventional sexual preferences. Now they are partly introducing something called alternative service. You can choose:2.5 years in army or 3.5 years in social service like helping out in hospitals, sweeping streets etc.

[BlackScorpion 0]

Yep, we have the "alternative service" here, too... "Civil service" (1 year), the other 3 are "normal" service (about half a year; half of civil serv.), "weaponless normal" service (same than "normal") and going to jail. Some, due sickness/other physical/mental reason, being a Jehova's witness or having good enough reason (extreme pacifists) to deny army service, are released from duty.

According to what I've heard... apparently 10% of young army-going Russians have "severe sickness" then...

And about China vs Russia reserves... Due the mandatory service in Russia, the reserves are much bigger. Reserve=non-active soldiers. So, when the active Army service ends, they become reserves. In China, it's a job, so there ain't much reserves, 'cos they stay in the Army and then retire. I think.

MV looks like real one...

[Cpt. FrostBite 0]

darn. I'm sitting behind a crappy monitor which shows everything much too dark (even max setting won't change this). I can't see shit on those pictures except the general shape of things

But even the general shape looks very good

Can't wait to get back home and watch those screenies on my own screen.

[Shadow NX 1]

Heres a lil bit brighter version

Not the best idea to take pics at desert island, the bright sand makes the vehicle look too dark

[Stanislav Kozrov 0]

[hellfish6 7]
