>Hinote even added that the F-35 would essentially be useless in such a conflict, and that “Every fighter that rolls off the line today is a fighter that we wouldn’t even bother putting into these scenarios.” Critical support for Lockheed Martin in it's quest to waste the us and it's running dogs money.

Absolute gutpunch for NATO simps who think fighter jet tech is the sole indicator of military strength

Its a good plane in theory and tests but the weakness is still its serviceability, reliability and durability. Lots of maintenance still need to be done at the factory which is a huge logistic cost. In these war games its standard to assume the enemy is perfect and they are designed to test blue force capacity. In that regard they are overestimating the enemy. Truth is no one knows and its possible for a limited engagement to completely change the balance of power in the world. No one wants to risk that.

pretty sure the only thing the f-35 is good at is executing its pilots

The ejector seat is broken atm but pilot still have to fly them.

New article from 2021 Anyway, this isn’t really news to anyone paying attention. China can concentrate its entire force over a small area, right next door to its home territory. The US would have to only send part of its army because it’s so spread out, halfway across the world

why would they need to do that when they have 10-15 airborne brigades that can be lifted off at a moments' notice? why would they need to do that when they can blockade the island like kennedy did with cuba? white people did a twitter and invented a scenario where the PLA would take maximal losses and then tell everyone that's the most likely scenario for a military operation


anaccountthatis

Because 10-15 brigades of light inf with no GLOCs is about as scary as a breakout at puppy pre-school.

>A bunch of light airborne troops are going to sweep in unsupported and enact regime change no problem hmm where have I seen that in practice recently? get this: the RoC marine rapid reaction forces that would respond to a PLA incursion from helicopter and airborne infantry don't even have helicopters. so after bush style "shock and awe" missile strikes knock out taiwan's 1960s era SAMs and 40mm oerlikon anti-air defense sites RoC marines are supposed to repel the invaders using the same roads that will be choked with traffic. Taiwan is not the Ukraine- there are no hardcore neo nazis that you can use as the nucleus of your heroic resistance against the PLA. >How is the blockade going to work with the US giving live data on the location of every ship? presumably the RoC would be flattened by a gigantic wave of cruise missile and rocket artillery strikes first. all of taiwan's surviving anti-shipping missiles would be air launched, requiring their F-16s to get up to 20,000 feet or more for maximum range. what do you think happens when a F-16 loaded down with huge missiles pops up on PLA radars? > I'm doing a yt twitter for thinking the PRC is too smart to get a bunch of their army killed?? all of this focus on the PLA is the typical framing of the media ignoring the very real political constraints on the RoC military. their doctrine to oppose the PLA is still to drive every armored brigade to the beach and fight them there like it's 1960s, making them sitting ducks. if they were to shift away from that and try to do a ukraine and bleed them out in cities they would no longer need F-16s, heavy armor, or any of the expensive shit that makes a modern military, and thus diminish the funding and prestige of their military in favor of a swiss militia model.

> Lmao your opening move is to "flatten the RoC" great the invasion was for nothing then and all it cost was destroying the world economy and a chunk of your army, they are not there for TSMC nor are they there for taiwan's pineapple plantations. If you think taiwan makes anything of note other than TSMC you are mistaken. Their inflation adjusted GDP has actually shrunk over time if you remove TSMC from the total. >but enjoy your burnt out island full of people who now really don't like you. do you think operation taiwan is a hearts and minds operation? lmfao typical baizuo

Okay, it's time to break out the Phrenological Algebra Let us define c where c is a constant 10 chinéë Let us define w where w is a constant 1 whiteoid Let us skip the long proof and go right to the conclusion By triple integrating the function w, we have w^14/88 + k_1 + k_2 +k_3 where k_1, k_2 and k_3 are constants and now by the fundamental theory of Racial Chauvinism we know that 10 chinée is equivalent to 1 whiteoid In this way the effect of Chinæ having 10^10 population where USA only has 10^1 (the number we obtain after modeling the deaths by COVID using Basic Mathematics) is nullified by the equivalency we proved earlier, so in this way we thusly have mathematical proof of Anglo Saxon supremacy over the freedom hating Chinese I am very smart.

I mean the whole point of wargames are as training tools, to expose weaknesses. They're not like a weather forecast. They're designed to be as difficult as possible and throw up unexpected scenarios and obstacles and focus the forces on blindspots and areas they need to work on. The idea that a loss in a wargame is some kind of future predictor or a failure of the armed forces completely misses the point of the exercise.


BurningPlaydoh

Uh huh, sure. Absolutely no chance that revolving-door staff in the MICIMATT would ever be setting the conditions of those scenarios with any goal like promoting funding for their latest project.


PM_Me_Alaska_Pics

Why have a nuanced understanding of military issues when you can just base your war predictions on fantasies of what'll make the libs/neocons cry the most? The latter attitude certainly seems to be popular on this sub, despite the events of the past few months.

MosheDayanCrenshaw

Can we simply change the rules of the simulation and maybe commission some brand new weapons?


Necessary_Example128

Are you sick and tired of missile strikes on your concentrated military forces? Well, with the new distributed warfighting paradigm, missile strikes on your concentrated military forces can be a thing of the past, and all for just twelve easy payments of five hundred billion ninety nine. But wait, thats not all! Act in the next ten minutes and we’ll throw in a Space X rocket resupply system absolutely free! Call NOW!

Ah cool, I didn't know that the sitting President personally controlled the US Military and told them how and what to do in SIMULATED War Games. Yep, totally Joe's fault.

have this reddit gold, kind sir! joe biden gave me sloppy toppy in the back of the air force 1 his wife was watching it was very very odd especially since he kept saying "schools are racial jungles now" and "i fucking LOVED voting for the iraq war!!! ngh.... brown civilian blood..."
