Is it so it's not immediately obvious from a distance that it's unmanned?

>>64136599 (OP)
Optionally manned I assume

>>64136599 (OP)
There's plenty of good reasons to have humans on board, in particular for a country with a billion people.

I always just assumed it was so it could be manually overridden if necessary.

>>64136599 (OP)
I'm not a boat expert by any means but I'd be surprised if they actually designed it from scratch for the purpose of being an unmanned boat instead of retrofitting an existing design.

>>64136672
This, you have it crewed in peacetime for maintenance and damage control then use it uncrewed when the mission is too dangerous for even bugmen.

>>64136599 (OP)
Probably for the same reason caseless guns have ejection ports; just in case.

First chinkshill thread of the day?

>China's giant unmanned boat spotted in Beijing
Implessive amphlibilious cappybaraties.

>Chinese boats don't even float and thus are forced to roam the streets at night
How horrifying

>>64136599 (OP)
More of a concession on how they view life, than technological advancement

>>64136599 (OP)
Could be either to screw with visual identification or be there in case you would have crew aboard.

>>64136599 (OP)
Is it painted on?

>China landing when Taiwan still has the ability to generate fires
Lmao.

>>64136748
What is really the point of those ships? When you look at Taiwan, you notice that almost all big cities are on the west coast and there are plenty of harbors. If you take them, then you get a place where you can easily offload your troops.

Commies hate the west.

>>64136817
Redundancy if the ports are destroyed, blocked, or mined. It also lets them land wherever they want.

>>64136826
Why would umanned boat have life preservers?

Chinks are low iq mutts, what else

>>64136599 (OP)
>unmanned
>still has windows

>>64136831
That's the theory. This kind of ships can only be used if you secure the beachhead, but even then, they're still vulnerable to literally anything and Taiwan is not a big island so artillery could easily destroy them. Maybe even FPV drones could do some damage.

>>64136748
>someone actually made a full comic showing how retarded they are

>>64136859
They're not intended to be used when Taiwan can still put up a fight, and mass fires, the PLA would spend at least a month getting air supremacy, and hitting everything of value on Taiwan.
>Maybe even FPV drones could do some damage.
There's no way the PLA will let Taiwan use FPVs like Ukraine.

>>64136878
>let
They can make their own. It's not like they don't have the tech or industry.

>>64136883
That's not what I mean, the PLAs CUAS is on paper one of the best in the world, the sheer number of EW assets, SHORAD for UAS, etc is insane.

>>64136833
>>64136826
>>64136599 (OP)
Are you retarded? The ship doesn't maintain itself. When it returns to port, people need to get on and manage it, maintain it. So you need windows so people when they're on the boat they can see out and people can see them. Same with life preservers. It's for maintenance crew.

>>64136599 (OP)
>giant unmanned boat
is this a perspective thing? it doesn't look very giant

>>64136921
If you are retarded enough to fall off a boat in port and drown, you should.

>>64136921
>So you need windows so people when they're on the boat they can see out and people can see them.
>we better give it windows to keep an eye on the maintenance crew or they might be jacking of in there!

>>64136921

>we'd better give it windows so the maintenance crew can see out, or the might get claustrophobic!
Does not sound legit.

>>64136756
Sometimes you bring the hookers to.the boat, sometimes you bring the boat to them.

>>64136921
Does the capitan get a window for his office? That would be nice.

>>64136921
>So you need windows so people when they're on the boat they can see out and people can see them.
>Better put some windows on the unmanned boat, to keep an eye on the crew.
Srsly.

>>64136990
>>we better give it windows to keep an eye on the maintenance crew or they might be jacking of in there!
That alone makes it worth the expense.

>>64136599 (OP)
They refer to it as unmanned since even the Chinese don't consider the Chinese to be humans, so all their ships are unmanned by default.

>>64136599 (OP)
because it's crewed by chinks
it's unmanned

Nigger have you been under the rock? Fiber is the game now

>>64136599 (OP)
Most of the current "unmanned" ships are actually "optionally manned" and are built for a small crew (usually half a dozen or a dozen people).

>>64136859
Taiwan has a lot of harpoon missiles and a barge carrying MBTs is a huge target.
A tomahawk cruise missile is going to delete one of these completely and a thousand Chines bloodlines are going to be lost at a bargain price of $3 million

>>64136599 (OP)
Those "windows" are paint, and the "gun," doesn't have a barrel. The entire thing is a facsimile. It's so the silhouette looks like a regular ship when it's visually spotted.

>>64137932
So its a decoy boat or something? Unless its spoofing everything I feel like America can tell the difference between a decoy and real naval asset in the era of electronic warfare. The quiet boats are going to be ignored.

>>64137959
It's not a decoy, it's unmanned. I'm assuming their manned ones look very similar, including command and control ones in the local area in charge of them. All it does is obfuscate the local capability and amount of value assigned to targets.
Kind of like how our MLRS units always show "six" in the rack when it could be one big missile. It costs nothing to hide what the actual payload is.

>>64136599 (OP)
Now why would a boat be in the middle of Beijing? Aren't they usually found at sea?

>>64137272
Fibre optic drones, are heavier, slower, and not as numerous. They're also heavily reliant on Chinese imports currently, and would be easier to down with kinetic, or laser CUAS systems

>>64136817
>>64136859
Ports are predictable landing areas and usually well fortified as a result. Expanding your capability to land and maintain supply anywhere forces, even if just theoretically, the enemy to now worry, plan contigencies and be forced to fortify areas that are otherwise not suitable for major landing operation.

The end result is that your enemy now has to spread his resources over a wider area which makes him overall weaker at any single point.

>>64138007
Oh, one more thing, before I forget. We took a sample down to the lab, by tomorrow we'll know just how much of that steel hull was made of ramen.

Kiev in 72 hours, at most.

>>64136599 (OP)
Because the crew are transwomen.

>>64136599 (OP)
all PLA boats are unmanned

>>64136807
US and Japanese Navy says hi. Also, US strategy is let you retards set it up and commit before killing the pontoons and everyone on them for max casualties.

>>64136807
You’re never going to stop that ability, so yes

>>64136673
So they can die due to some engineering oversight?

>>64140963
>>64140969
Good thing you suppress by bombing everything flat and supplement by airdrops. Not even the Allies at Normandy made a beachhead until the nazis were pushed far back.

>>64142721
So China has to flatten Japan now.

>>64137272
That's why you use SPAAGs or just bomb the drone team

>>64142727
Acceptable terms. But the nips won't be dying for Taiwan.

>>64142730
How contested will it be after some missile spam? Don't even need to fly over.

>>64142748
No they'll be dying to flatten Beijing.

>>64142730
>the two largest airforces on the planet
Bold of you to assume nuUSA wants to get involved with protecting nations from hostile neighbours.

>>64136748
I'm guessing they thought about the possibility of being shot
Maybe the bridge is a giant bouncy castle and artillery shells bounce off safely

>>64142752
Ziggers also coped with this same logic thinking Trump would hand over Ukraine.

>>64142766
>Trump would hand over Ukraine.
I mean he essentially has. Has he put any sanctions which he said about half a dozen times he'd put on Putin if he didn't stop? No? Did he send any major weapon supplies or aid to Ukraine? No? Did he offer Alaskan resources to Putin to stop? Yes. Did he offer to remove sanctions from Russia to stop? Yes. Did he demand hundreds of billions of dollars from Ukraine (thus crippling them for the next 30~ years)? Yes.

Huh. But I guess since he literally hasn't signed a bit of paper handing Ukraine over he hasn't actually done that. Right. Guess it's a bit hard to do that when you've got a cock so far down your throat it's tickling your stomach lining.

>>64142751
Oh they'll be dying alright. The sun will fall over Japan once again!

Reduce their casualties with ramming maneuvers.

Many many more changs will also die. This time the unauthorized penetration of Nanking will be delivered from missiles.
