The rare earth ban is coming. Keep poking the bear.
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will impose sanctions on Lockheed Martin, Boeing Defense, Raytheon and other U.S. companies it says are involved in Washington’s arms sales to Taiwan, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Monday...
The PRC has no need to enforce a 12 year no-fly zone over Taiwan (like what the US did to Iraq). Taiwanese runways, hangars, parking ramps, and fuel storage tanks will be destroyed by the PLARF and H-6 bomber fleet in the opening minutes/hours of the war, effectively grounding the vast majority...
A semi-stealth J-10D with missiles stored in an "enclosed weapons pod" would not require any internal weapons bays at all.
If the F-15 Silent Eagle can be considered a "stealth" aircraft according to Boeing, so could this.
2 hour endurance. Cruising speed 70-120 km/hr. Do the math.
The drone is for surveillance. Once we figure out the location of your tank, we drop one of these through the top.
Because it is a well known fact that the Flanker can carry a large Tomahawk-sized ALCM.
It is also a fact (perhaps not so well known) that there are now 7 confirmed batches of J-16, which has an air to ground/surface capability.
Also 3 confirmed batches of J-15. hehe
I feel like I am undercounting when I say 150.
We have 5 confirmed PLAAF "regiments" with H-6K and H-6N.
We have 2 confirmed PLAN "regiments" with H-6J.
You do the math.
I didn't even bother to count the older bombers like H-6M, which we know can carry at least 2 large ALCMs.
So stop...
All of them.
But I could ask you the same question. How many USAF/USN aircraft can be made airborne for an operation within range of Taiwan compared to THIS?
China doesn't need ANY aerial refueling tankers to reach Taiwan. So it can be zero.
Why are you talking about the obsolete KD-63...
150 H-6K, H-6N, and H-6J can carry 900 Tomahawk-sized ALCMs.
150 * 6 = 900
These 900 Tomahawk-sized ALCMs can be used to hit Guam or carrier strike group (CSG).
The Chinese H-6 bomber fleet can rearm/refuel and do this AGAIN and AGAIN.
How do I know China has a Tomahawk-sized ALCM?
Because...
As of Saturday morning, 24 people have tested positive in the White House outbreak, as the number of infected staffers who attended the Cleveland debate climbed from 1 to 11.

Posting your war fantasies online won't make them come true.
In reality, there will be no direct confrontation between two nuclear powers.
In reality, The US is dealing with over 7 million COVID-19 cases, tens of millions of unemployed, and nationwide protests that have dragged on for MONTHS...
