China's New type 096 nuclear submarine renders the Australian Virginia Class Submarine Program obsolete. Tim Tufuga


The AUKUS Virginia Class submarine is especially designed to hunt the Chinese Ballistic Submarine known as the Type 096 SSBN. However, the Type 096 has superior non detection technology with a very quiet Electric Pump Thruster for near silent propulsion underwater.travelling a siginficant speed but more importantly has made the Virginia Class Attack Submarines obsolete with their inability to detect the Type 096 especially since the Type096 can dive even deeper twice the depth of any atttack Submarine within the US or any other Naval Subamrine fleet at a depth of 800 metres. The Virginia Class maximum depth is 240metres to an alleged depth of 490metres. The Type 096 can dive to 800 metres which means that it will almost be impossible for the Virginia Class SSN to detect the Type 096 SSBN, let alone destroy a Type 096 SSBN, by a Virginia Class Attack Submarine.
Therefore, the only rational purpose for acquiring an Australian Virginia Class Submarine would be for the purpose of the Naval Mine Clearance Divers Delivery Systems for amphibious covert operational deployments rather than for hunting down SLBM launching SSBNs. The Chinese Type 096 SSBN is armed with the JL3 SLBMs each carrying a nuclear MIRVs with a payload of up to 1 megaton per JL3. The JL3 SLBM has a range of 10,000km.
10,000km range for the Chinese 1 megaton SLBM, is likened to launching a SLBM JL3 from within the Taiwan Strait, and will be able to travel and nuke Sydney City very easily.
With the JL3 range, the Virginia Class Submarine has almost ZERO DETERRENCE capability.
In short, the Type 096 SSBN has stolen the thunder of the Australian AUKUS Virginia Class Submarine deterrance capability in the most laughable level bringing a big smile to the faces of the Chinese Military. The Australian Military deterrence strategy is hubris and laughable to the Chinese.
Soon, then the Chinese Carrier Strike Group has become fully operational by 2030, the Chinese will be conducting FONOPS within the Pacific Ocean, all the way to Samoa and beyond to Mexico coastline, to the Panama Canal and through to the Caribbean Mexican Gulf to Cuba and Venezuela and onto Brazil in a FONOPs that will annoy the heck out of America. But, the Chinese Blue Water Carrier Strike Groups has matured and will be conducting their FONOPS within the next decade and beyond.

Sino-Samoa relations stalled after FAST Government cancelled the Chinese Port. The Chinese proposal will be reconsidered by Samoa. Tim Tufuga

Yesterday, the Indian Ambassador has presented his credentials to the Samoan Head of State, the Tui Aana. In the meantime, this year, 2023, India has officially become the most populous Nation on the Planet accounting for over 17.76% of the world's population. China is no longer the most populous Nation due to their One Child Family policies for half a century ago. The policy has worked reducing the Chinese natural growth significantly. In the meantime, China's economy is the second largest in the world, its development is by far greater than India, although, the Chinese economy has slowed down in the past two years, it is by far well ahead of India. India, was the only BRICS economy that had grown in 2023 whereas Russia and China had slowed down. India is still well behind in terms of local infrastructural development and modernity compared to Russia and certainly compared to China today. In the meantime, the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is developing their Blue

Samoa the Chinese Blue Water Power Projection in the Pacific Region. US Navy attempts to ugrade to meet the challenge. By Tim Brian Tufuga 11th April 2023.

The USN are responding to the Chinese Naval build up. However, the Chinese are building their ships faster and more of vessels comparable to the Americans. Needless to say, the Americans are building more Virginia Class Submarines 13. More Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers (13) and one more Zumult Class Destroyer. And three more Aircraft Carriers which I think are pointless since Aircraft Carriers as a Force projection presence within the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Pacific Oceans, are strategic overstretch as the Chinese are focused on the South China Sea, Japanese Sea, and the Philippines Sea region and the Western Pacific region, depending on Samoa's acceptance of the Chinese Military port in Samoa will determine the Chinese military Blue Water power projection and will be the purview of the Chinese Military sphere of influence in the Pacific. Samoa will be the strategic target for the Chinese in projecting their Central Blue Water presence in the Pacific Region wher

China Navy face off with the Royal Australian Navy. Chinese Divers injured with the Sonar pulse affecting the hearing and ears of the Australian Divers. (The alleged Culprit, a Russian Sovremenny Destroyer Class, the Chinese Type 956 Destroyer, The Ningbo, ) It happened in October during Australian PM Albanese visit to China, to meet President Xi. This incident happened and was not reported to the media due to damaging Chinese Australian attempt at rapproachement. Presently, the Australian navy are patrolling the Philippines Sea with the Philippines Navy near Sprateley Islands. The Chinese and Australians will have another round soon. The Chinese have thrown the gauntlet and awaiting the Australian response. Economically, China is moving towards Africa in changing their Iron Ore mineral source away from their AUKUS enemy in Australia and Philippines, Japan, South Korea and other adversaries within the region. China with BRICS are moving away from their Western Trading partners. It is b
