How many LRASMs will the US have in the East Asia/Pacific by February–April 2027? A good friend of mine (who I trust a lot) told me that Pooh will invade Taiwan around then and wants the whole island occupied and the US accepting defeat by August 1 (the anniversary of the start of the Civil War). (I’m not saying who my friend is btw so you’ll have to “trust me bro” on this)
>>64765378>Pooh will invade Taiwan around then and wants the whole island occupied and the US accepting defeat by August 1I'm sure he does.
>>64765378Not enough, but filled out with other munitions. The war will be over in 3 weeks due to China's entire amphibious fleet getting sunk anyway.
>>64765378I doubt usa will go to war seeing how they are retreating on pretty much all fronts and have switched to bullying poor favelas and eskimo island.
Twelve, at least.
>>64765378>February–Aprilkek.no one is crossing the strait in February. suicide in that weather.
>>64765410Mmm that's good chinsect cope.
>>64765410Yeah, nabbing a dictator from his capital overnight and seizing half a dozen zigger ships sure is backing away
>>64765416Modern wars de facto start months before combat begins. Everyone knew what Russia was going to do in Ukraine and what the US planned in Venezuela at least six months before those wars officially began. The exercises China is conducting around Taiwan will gradually increase in scale until the day of invasion
>>64765509>Modern wars de facto start months before combat begins.kek.it took Russia half a year to drill & another half a year to muster forces needed to invade Ukraine. no disrespect to Ukrainian military capability, but that absurd military adventure is a walk in the park vs what would be required to muster assets for the invasion of Taiwan.
they probably have at least several hundred now assuming production increases actually happened. which is more than enough since they have one sole purpose (even if they can be used in a similar manner to jassm).
>>64765615it's not. wargames with 450 lsram have the magazines empty after a few days. you damaged the picket line but the amphibious fleet is still intact and will try to land later.
>>64765615>>64765654The PRC will use thousands of civilian and drone boats/ships of all sizes not just to ferry their troops but also as cannon fodder and to accuse the US of "targeting civilians"
>>64765654i don't know the details of the wargame, but if you want to send them at absolutely everything other than just principle surface combatants, you'll need more than several hundred, yes.
>>64765723it seems like aim-174b (and sm-6) will be very useful when it comes to hitting small combatants, coast guard vessels, auxiliaries and drones at extended ranges.
>(I’m not saying who my friend is btw so you’ll have to “trust me bro” on this)Is it the same guy who told you they were invading in 2024/2025/2026?
>>64765997Those years were just saber-rattling so they wouldn't look like cuckolds when US officials visited Taiwan. Based on their stated military goals for 2027, 2035, and 2049 and the years between those dates are when China is most likely to invade Taiwan (2049 is given as the deadline)
>>64765723In times of war civilian vessels pressed into carrying troops are legitimate targets. It's been that way for centuries. It doesn't matter if it's a cruise liner, a cargo ship, a yacht, or a single outboard fishing boat.
>>64765762Sure they can do that. But they would be wasted on most targets because the US would quickly enter a state of muntions starvation. The smart way would be to be careful with what you launch at. One aspect that is not adressed is the number of LRASMs that will be lost before they are launched. I do not know if this has been studied in wargames.
>>64765451The zigger ships were all supplying oil for the chinks too. It was a master class in fucking over our top two foes.
>>64765723Why do you think we've been testing weapons capabilities against vuvuzuela cigarette boats for months?
>>64765654Those are 450 sunk ships you retard. Landing ships getting ganked will absolutely fucking crowd the non-existent beachheads the PLA try to establish all while 1st and 2nd generation stealth bombers turbofuck mainland industrial centers and staging points uncontested. The 2027 shit is just more usual DoD budget slop.
Meh. The physical war would be much much less important than the digital one. Even the outcome of the physical war.If I were you, I would procure a 3 kilowatt (5kw startup peak) generator, a rotating stock of 40-50 gallons of 91/93 AKI octane gas (if you live in humid areas ethanol fractioned 87 starts going bad in 6-8 months), a few hundred watts worth of solar panels plus the gear to make them work as 5/9/20/120v supplies (batteries optional but recommended at least 10kwh), and a 2 month drystock and water supply and dont skimp on the salt or water.Just in case.>>64765378A committed US defense given the current political climate would be all or nothing. Either they go full apeshit and end it ASAP or US fucks itself. And I truly hope everyone with a smattering of command decision understands this and understands that IF it happens, the only correct choice is going apeshit.
>>64766223China builds an order of magnitude more ships than the US buildings munitions
