Japan Air Self Defense Force has about 360 fighters, while the Chinese Air Force and Navy fighters have about 3600, in volume terms was 10 times that of Japan. Said the Air Self Defense Force has about 200 F-15 and 100 F-4 fighters, 30 new F02 fighter jets and about 30 F-1 fighters.

Most of the Chinese Air Force has fighter aircraft developed for the old former Soviet MiG MiG -19 and -21 models improved. However, China imported 90's in the 20th century the production of advanced Russian Su -27 fighter aircraft, Su -30, China plans to equip about 250 such fighters. If you achieve this goal, then China has the new fighter will be almost the same total number of self-defense fighter.

-27 F-15 and Su not only evenly matched in performance, but the body shape is very similar, so hard to say who is good and who's bad. However, the superiority fighter can not only hardware to make judgments.

The article points out, the performance can play a fighter should be, the key lies in daily training, marked by the flight time. Air Self-Defense Force fighter pilots to fly at least 150 hours. According to speculation, the Chinese Air Force pilot flight time each year an average of 25 hours, even the Soviet -27 units of flight time per year at most only about 100 hours. Moreover, the Chinese Air Force also faces chronic shortage of spare parts of this deadly problem. Because of this, China has a lot of "can not fly the aircraft." F-15 fighter jets, saying the flight rate is the highest in the world, maintaining about 90%, while China's Su -27 fighter flight was around 60%.

Japan Air Self Defense Force is working on a large scale modernization, and now after the active duty F-15 fighter aircraft to use as the first line, installed fire control radar, the introduction of joint electronic warfare systems to enhance combat capability. In line with modern equipment, the strongest U.S. Air Self-Defense Except for the purchase of medium-range air to air missiles "AIM-120" outside, while also developing new short-range air to air missiles go all out to ensure air superiority. Following the introduction of airborne early warning control system (6 E-767, 14 架 E-2), the Air Self Defense Force and the introduction of tanker aircraft, while China has not been equipped early warning aircraft. Therefore, the Japanese fighter planes in offensive possession of certain advantages.

In the Navy, Japan Maritime Self-Guard has 142 ships, about 4.5 million troops, the Chinese navy has 770 ships, about 22 million troops. However, Chinese naval vessels are almost old-fashioned water ships, than high-tech navy ships opponent. Therefore, the Chinese Navy is speeding up the pace of equipment modernization, such as from Russia to buy "modern" class destroyers and so on. It is noteworthy that the Chinese Navy submarine combat.

Currently, China's navy has 65 submarines, including six for the nuclear submarines. In addition, also from Russia to buy eight "Kilo" class submarines, this way, the Chinese Navy will have a 12 "Kilo" class submarines.

Confrontation with the Chinese navy submarine has 16 submarines. Although the total number of disadvantages from the point of view, but the potential performance of the submarine, equipped with the performance of electronic devices and weapons, and the submariners were highest in the world of technology.

Therefore, if a submarine warfare, the Chinese submarine navy probably soon be caught, and the Coast Guard's performance by wire-guided torpedo to sink. In addition, the Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine and escort vessels can also be used to form anti-submarine nets, the Chinese submarine caught in continental shelf waters, the Maritime Self Defense Force have 80, "the world's strongest anti-submarine aircraft" P-3C attack.

The Chinese Navy anti-submarine capability is weak, it is difficult to capture the Japanese submarine and sunk. For the Chinese navy, the Maritime Self-Defense Forces will continue to maintain a superior position I am afraid.

In the Army, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force has 1,070 tanks, 150,000 troops; the Chinese army has a strength of 170 million people, tanks 8300, the size is not comparable to the GSDF.

However, while the Chinese army is very strong, almost impossible to break through the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and Air Self Defense Force's defense network, said the local community to expand the force landing. In this case, land-based combat scenarios can be envisaged are: small-scale airborne forces and other elite units around the island in the Okinawa landing. While the disputed Diaoyu Islands between China and Japan is the most danger of war.
