According to recent media reports, a source in the Pentagon revealed to experts from the think tank "Democratic Pacific" that not long ago, the situation in the Taiwan Strait suddenly became tense due to US politicians' visit to Taiwan, the US military once again held a war chess performance occupied by the Taiwan Strait. In this latest wargame deduction, if a local war breaks out between China and the United States in the Taiwan Strait, what might the military force situation between the two sides be like? Although not all information was obtained, the Pentagon's deductions were roughly in line with experts' predictions.
In terms of military deployment, the closest air bases in the United States to Nansha Islands are Okinawa Kadena and Guam Anderson. The Kadena deployment can accommodate 2 fighter squadrons, that is, 48 F-15C/D. Anderson's base is located at a distance of instructors, and generally it can deploy up to 4 fighter squadrons. According to the US Air Force's vision, 96 F-22 can be deployed, and of course it can also be deployed in a mixed manner with the F-15. In other words, once the war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, nearly 100 F22 fighter jets will take off from Guam and pounce on the Taiwan Strait.
The above two bases have the ability to deploy strategic bomber . Suppose Kadena deploys a B-52 squadron, Anderson deploys a B-1B squadron and a B-2 squadron, each squadron has 16 aircraft, which is a total of 48 bombers . In addition, a large number of tankers, early warning aircraft, , reconnaissance aircraft, , etc. must be deployed. If necessary, the United States can also deploy strategic bombers at Yokota, Japan, Hickam, Hawaii, and Digo Garcia base in the central Indian Ocean. The Air Force deployed at Alaska Base can reinforce the Northeast Asia region.
In this way, we will strategically restrain the military forces in northern China, especially to restrain the J-20 stealth fighter jet that poses the greatest threat to the US military and the "Liaoning" aircraft carrier , so that it cannot go south and enter the Taiwan Strait battlefield. The US Navy has 5 aircraft carrier battle groups in the Pacific region. It is expected that at least 2 aircraft carrier battle groups will be used to invest side by side in the South China Sea battlefield. The other two aircraft carrier battle groups are also deployed in Northeast Asia for strategic restraint, and one aircraft carrier battle group remains as a strategic reserve team.
If necessary, an aircraft carrier battle group of the Fifth Fleet deployed in Persian Gulf region can also reinforce the war in the Taiwan Strait. Through the above analysis, it was found that the US can invest at least 6 air force squadrons of fighters and 2 naval carrier-based aircraft wings in the future, with a total of 240 fighters. There are 3 squadrons of bombers, a total of 48. About 1/3 of these are stealth aircraft , which has powerful assault capabilities. In addition to air strikes, American naval ships can also launch large quantities of Tomahawk cruise missiles for long-range precision strikes. The US Navy's plan is to put at least 1/3 of the ship deployed in the Pacific into the Taiwan Strait battlefield, which will form extremely amazing firepower. This is indeed a comprehensive joint invasion! Text/PY
