According to comprehensive analysis by military experts PY, the US Department of Defense's concept on the Indo-Pacific strategic situation is more obvious in the comparison of military power and strategic tactics between China and the United States. China's "increasingly expanding offensive missile database" will free some of its elite naval and air forces. There is no need to worry about the possible attack on its northern energy and industrial facilities, and the South China Sea may be launched. If so, the military strength situation in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea war zone may undergo fundamental changes.
Rand Company report believes that heavy fighter/attack aircraft with longer ranges such as J-20 and J-16 may take off from mainland airports and reach Nansha Islands for combat, which will make Chinese fighter patrolling over Nansha not only exceed the US military in quantity, but also have no inferior quality, which means that the US military will lose the battlefield air superiority . Moreover, after the combat groups of the "Liaoning" and "Shandong" aircraft carriers enter the South China Sea, the combat capabilities of the South China Sea Fleet will also be qualitatively improved.
Therefore, China will also be able to "return to the other person with the way of the other" and use " air-sea integrated warfare " against the US military. Since the route to the South China Sea of the US military deployed by the Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa, will pass through the airspace south of Taiwan, this provides an opportunity for China to intercept the route, and the focus is on intercepting the tanker and the early warning aircraft . The fighter troops in the Eastern Theater Command of China include: the Air Force's three fighter divisions, which are under their jurisdiction, and one division of the Naval Air Force, which are under their jurisdiction, with 2 fighter corpses, totaling about 240 fighter jets.
This is a battle that has sufficient strength in both quality and quantity to complete large-scale interception tasks. In addition, naval fleets equipped with advanced long-range air defense systems can also go forward to deploy this southbound route that threatens the US military. Pentagon must be noted that the US Air Force aircraft fleet may be destroyed by the regiment through the Taiwan Strait! Of course, the US military cannot sit still and wait for death. Once this crucial route is "threatened", the US Navy may dispatch an aircraft carrier battle group to escort.
This is also emphasized in the US "air-sea integrated war" combat theory. In the absence of a forward base, the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft must provide escort protection for high-value aircraft such as the Air Force's bomber and tanker. If this situation occurs, the troops of the Eastern Theater Command of China will obviously do their best to use various combat means to force retreat or strike the US aircraft carrier , force it to withdraw from the battle, and resolutely complete the combat mission of tamping with the US Air Force's southbound route. This will be a large-scale military collision that has never been seen on this ocean since the Pacific War more than 70 years ago, and may determine the historical direction of the 21st century in just a few minutes.
