But I really do bet Russia would have an ally, It's hard for me to believe the US or the euros would standby. |

Of course Russia is strong in military.
But the balance is shifting more and more to Chinese side each year

The Soviet Union, at the height of its power, was afraid of China. The overwhelming numbers game is something they weren't too keen to go up against.

the question would never really be who would win between russia vs china..it would be, can the u.s. stand up against china + russia combined
and maybe throw india into the mix in russia and china's side as well..the three nations have a very strong military and economic relationship |

In this thread? Nope, you have the wrong question! Topic is China vs Russia. Go make a new topic if you want to discuss US vs China+Russia scenario. I will say that I don't think China and Russia are very good at trusting each other. Each would would likely rather stab the other in the back than wait to be betrayed if they ever did actually work together.

In July, a close friend of mine married an American woman. Her sister, who is a Russian interpreter in the US Army was also there and sooner or later the discussion was bound to turn into politics. In the end we just gave her one piece of advice, "Don't be sending any Panzerarmies to Russia. Russia + Panzerarmies=no good." :P
Russia is a riddle wrapped in an enigma. It's always stronger than it seems, but it is also weaker than it seems. |

If a war breaks out between Russia Vs China ..
I am sure Russia will certainly have an ally. Inside Asia it will be INDIA. Wounds from previous INDO-CHINA war 1962 healed not fully in INDIA. Russia is its Major Ally from the start and it is time tested. India and China also share long border. India will provide Russia with Bases and other logistical support. Then China will have to defend its country at two different fronts. Which I am sure will be a VERY BIG problem for Chinese. Russia will also have an upper hand because Russian Hardware continues to play a major part in Chinese Weapon Inventory. Russia will definitely know about their weapons Pros and cons and also have edge because spares for these weapons will cease to find place. Russia will emerge as victor.  ----- In Reality, There will never be a Russia Vs China since, Russia and China are trying to form a Bloc against US (also planning to bring in INDIA into it TRIANGULAR Partnership) Even yesterday OCT 17th Leaders of the Both the country resolved their long standing area dispute concerning a common island. |

About if Russia has a upper-hand in Air Strikes, let's make clear when?
If we talk about war today, yes, Russia will have upper-hands in Air Strikes in the beginning phase, but after some days all their airbases in close to Chinese border will be destroyed with Chinese cruise missile (range 1500 KM, CEP 5 meters, mass production of DongHai Cruise Missile), then Chinese land troops will crash whole Eastern Russia. If we talk about war after 10 years, then I doubt if Russia will have any air superiority anymore

If you drag India into the equation, it overbalances in the other direction and China is in deep
 ... but that would involved expanding the scenario. Same with adding Europe or even the Russian Federation. JUST Russia would lose if they were was a fight between them and China. In real life, there are many dynamics that make that conflict undesireable for the Chinese, but if we're discussing just Russia vs China, I don't see anyway for Russia to win. Russia has a technological advantage, but but it wouldn't be enough to save them. China would just have to live without Russian-made fighter engines for awhile. Oh well.
