(Yes it can and I'll tell you why and what nobody is talking about at the end of the piece.)
Designed To Break Through China's 'Impregnable' Air Defenses; Can...B-21
Stealth Bomber
By Parth Satam - November 27, 2022
“This confirms previous analyses by EurAsian Times about the
concerted US attempts to overturn its massive logistical disadvantages before
an admittedly well-entrenched peer adversary that can inflict horrific losses
on the US military.”
(People are just gonna flip when they start seeing carriers sinking in the Pacific. I said a while back, "We are going to see things in this lifetime we never thought wed see." Nukes being employeed in a theatre of conflict, wether Ukraine or elsewhere, the afore mentioned carriers going down...etc)
“China’s dense and diverse air defense network, a highly
advanced air force with fully operational stealth fighters and; long-range
anti-land and anti-ship missiles that can keep an entire US naval armada at bay
without allowing them to get close.”
(That was their plan and they have executed it.)
“This erodes the US Navy’s capacity (or payload) advantage.
“What could US ships be launching in response? At the ranges we are talking
about, nothing,” said former US Navy officer Bryan Clark.”
"Will The B-21 Cut It For The US?
This B-21 would just “bust through and break down this strategy
to destroy critical enemy installations, command and control, and radar
centers,” the report said."
(Infrared targeting systems will render stealth obsolete. More on that later.)
"US Military Admits It Does Not Have It Easy
The US Navy’s former Indo-Pacific Command Chief (INDOPACOM) Admiral
Harry Harris admitted before the Senate Armed Services Committee in 2018 about
Washington’s navy being at a “disadvantage (before) China (with its)
ground-based ballistic missile that threaten our basing in the western Pacific.”
(Not just our ships but our bases.)
"His successor, Admiral Phil Davidson, concurred. “These
mid-range, anti-ship ballistic missiles are capable of attacking aircraft
carriers in the western Pacific,” Harris said about the DF-21D.
Former US Marine Corps Officer Robert Haddick and Visiting Senior
Fellow at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies tells Reuters that it is
a “huge gap,” adding, “China’s anti-ship missile capability exceeds those of
the United States in terms of range, speed, and sensor performance.”
“If weapon
performance is insufficient, logistics to sustain a long-drawn conflict
is another handicap.”
“...wargames conducted
by think tanks like the RAND Corporation and the Center for Strategic and
International Studies (CSIS) have repeatedly ended in devastating US and
Taiwanese defeats.”
“The US’ logistics are fledgling, and it has no means to
sustain a lengthy conflict while China can.”
(For two reasons, 1) the most obvious is they are closer to home.
2) They also have the military infrastructure in plave to support themselves in a drawn out conflict that we just don't.have.)
"Military Not The Only
Tool To Win Against China
Even if the US does attack and score some tactical wins, an
actual war in far east Asia and the western Pacific will have petrified most
nations who will ask both parties to call a truce.
(Such a great point.)
"China’s unprecedented military drills around Taiwan after
former US Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit saw studied silence and calls for
de-escalation from every country in the (except Japan). None officially criticized
China and threw in its lot with the US."
(Another great point.)
"They may be ideologically opposed to China and its position
on Taiwan. But Beijing’s deep economic ties with each of them and the prospect
of a conflict wreaking their economies have made them highly opposed to war.”
“China would know how
to leverage economic clout before and during any conflict. East
Asian nations can bear down on the US to give up the idea of fighting China.
Thus,
a merely advanced stealth bomber is no match for the overarching power of diplomacy
and sheer brute money power.”
(What we have done to others is going to be done to us...)
"Asian countries have long complained about the US not
introducing economic investment programs except for Great Power rivalry and
weapons deals."
(It's kinda who we are and what we do...)
"It (USA) has grown protectionist, withdrawing from free trade
pacts while China knows the game in Asia is money. Its Belt and Road Initiative
(BRI) and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) are viewed as a
no-questions-asked infrastructure, trans-continental transport, investment, and
trade opportunity that is free of ideological compulsions (democracy vs.
autocracy).
(Whether it is or not isn't what matters, free of ideological compulsions (democracy vs. autocracy), it's how those initiatives are perceived that matters rn.)
"It is a different matter that this view has been catching on
in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) too.”
(These are exactly the countries who have not condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine BTW and below it will tell you why that is.)
"Russia commands neutrality from non-G7 countries since they
know Russia has been winning the war. International Relations theory expects
non-Great, Regional, and Middle Powers to lean in the direction of swaying
winds and see the inevitable, eventual American decline."
(Funny you have to go outside of this country to get your truth anymore, it wasnt always that way, or at a minimum, not this sevre.)
"But neither does Russia aim to nor is it interested in
supplanting the US as the new boss on the block, with rivaling political,
economic, technological, and military means. China doesn’t say so, but
everybody knows it wants to."
(and thats why the Russians are more than happy to "soften us up" so to speak, spending $ we dont have, giving out weapons systems we wont be able to manufacture quick enough when we need them etc...)
Now the real reason why the B-21 stealth bomber wont penetrate Chinas air defenses that nobody is talking about:
"Chinese scientists say they have developed next-generation hypersonic weapons with technical breakthroughs in infrared homing technology – which the US military may not have until 2025."
"Heat-seeking capability allows Chinese hypersonic missiles to home in on almost any target – including stealth aircraft, aircraft carriers and moving vehicles on the street – with unprecedented accuracy and speed, according to the researchers."
"With effective hypersonic precision strike weapons, the critical value of "strtegic depth"in traditional warfare will no longer exist. all the critical political, economic and military assets of a country will be at risk."
With all the $ we spend on defense?
We got this far behind?
How is that even possible?
