Same chaps got hammered within 72 hours in Hostomel and Kiev when their whole doctrine and training was shown as obsolete.

They had to be rebuilt from scratch.

Anyways not the thread and topic.

No they didn't. They captured the airfields but they were expecting reinforcements after 72 hours. They are paratroopers for god's sakes. They do not have enough supply or strength it to hold out against a heavier regular mechanized force and they did held for 3-4 more days before finally withdrawing.

Size comparison between PLAN's Type 055 Destroyer and Japanese ASEV. Japan’s planned Aegis system equipped vessel (ASEV) - 190 meters long, - 25 meters wide, (12,000 tons standard displacement), 128 VLS cells (SM-6/SM-3 Block IIA/Tomahawk) and Type 12 anti-ship missiles.​

Which one is which?

Which one is which?

Japanese one is bigger battle cruiser.
Although I don't get how their displacement difference is just 1000T, 12kT vs 11kT only. Japanese one should be touching 15kT with that size.

Could be that the weight cited is not full load?

It never is. No one cites full load tonnage. It's always standard tonnage, a clever bondoongle of a definition brought out by the Brits after the Washington Naval Treaty of 1935.

Essentially, liquid storage is not counted. As in water and fuel.
