>>63830893You do realize it's like 180 km to Taiwan from the mainland right? Anything that takes off is going to be tracked and marked for intercept.
>they won't have time if they launch right from the coastSo where they're most vulnerable? That's a wonderful idea, put all your strike craft at the very edge of your AD network because they surely won't be hit during refuel/rearm/maintenance, especially as the AD along the coast is degraded.
>well they'll launch from a hundred or so km inside the interior thenWhich means you're giving someone enough time to ensure anything coming from that vector has more defenses turned its way. Also again, once coastal AD gets degraded, they're vulnerable to strikes from shit right off the coast.
>what about all the little islandsTaiwan is under no illusion about the defensability of those chunks of rock. They held onto them against the PRC at the tail end of the civil war, they now function as speedbumps the PRC will feel obligated to take first. Yeah, they're going to get captured, but they're not going to cause the fall if Taiwan.
>super secret invasion Lol. Lmao. The US knew russia would invade Ukraine a month in advance.
>well the PRC can do the same thing to US forcesNo, they can't. There are a myriad of strategic realties as to why they can't, more than I care to explain to a retarded chink shill. They know they can't, the US knows they know, and that's why they haven't tried yet.
>see Yemen Ah yes, the sand dwellers that hide amongst the civilian population and fire an occasional missile from the middle of the desert while the US occasionally launches a limited strike against confirmed targets of opportunity. If that's all the Chinese are capable then they're an even bigger paper tiger than russia.
