Bloomberg: China’s devastating attacks are capable of destroying 900 US warplanes.
A former White House official and military expert said that in the event of a war between the United States and China over Taiwan, the Chinese would destroy 900 warplanes in a short period of time, which is half of the American air fleet.
Following the escalation of tensions between the United States and China over Taiwan, an American military expert said that the Chinese could destroy 900 American warplanes in a short period of time.
According to “Bloomberg” news website, at the same time as China’s large-scale exercises around Taiwan, which were carried out in response to the visit of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States to this island, a group of American military experts were busy simulating a hypothetical war between China and the United States in this region.
The simulation, which was conducted at the Center for International Studies and Leadership, not far from the White House, simulated a war between the two countries in 2026 and found that even if the US and Taiwan could win over China, there would be a heavy price for this. They will fight.
“Mark Kansian”, the senior consultant of this study center, said that to simulate this war, several scenarios were implemented, and the assumption was that Japan would allow the use of its bases to the United States, but would not intervene unless this country was also attacked. . Also, in this simulation, the use of atomic weapons was not considered.
The retired White House military budget analyst said that in 18 of the 22 scenarios of war between China and the United States that have been carried out so far, Chinese missiles have destroyed a large part of the US and Japanese fleets and hundreds of military aircraft, and “however, counterattacks Allied air and naval forces destroyed 150 Chinese ships.
He noted that in the remaining four scenarios, “events such as America’s delay in supporting Taiwan, Japan’s insistence on declaring neutrality, and events that will give China a range of advantages” will be considered. These very costly and challenging scenarios have yet to be implemented, and according to them, China could take over the entire island.
