US Warns China Can Sink Its Entire Carrier Fleet “in 20 Minutes,” Seeks Abrams Tank

Video Description

China has deployed several naval vessels—including a destroyer, frigate and spy ship—near Japan and into the wider Western Pacific, shortly after the arrival of US aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in the region. Japanese forces tracked the Chinese ships as they passed through strategic waterways, including the Osumi Strait, heading toward the Philippine Sea. The manoeuvres follow growing concern in Washington over China's expanding naval power. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that Beijing’s hypersonic missiles could destroy multiple US carriers within minutes, stating that China is “building an army specifically designed to destroy the US.” Meanwhile, the Pentagon is fast-tracking its next-generation M1E3 Abrams tank to counter advanced Russian and Chinese platforms. The new tank, designed for agility and survivability, aims to regain the battlefield edge in future Indo-Pacific conflicts. 0:00 INTRO 4:18 ‘CHINA BUILT TO DESTROY US’ HEGSETH SAYS IN STARK WARNING 5:54 M1E3 ABRAMS: AMERICA’S ANSWER TO RUSSIA’S T-14 AND CHINA’S TYPE 99A #china #chinavsus #abramstank #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
