kinetic weapons are probably going to gently caress fleets up pretty badly

problem with those is you actually need to know exactly where your target is. and if your target is beyond the horizon and 'somewhere in the ocean' then good luck

I don't understand why you think it's impossible to first determine a general location through a real time spy satellite and then home in with other tech until you have a reasonable firing solution with ordinance that can track targets.

Plus weren't we talking about if the US invades China for some reason? It's not like I'm talking about playing hide and seek in the middle of the ocean, I'm talking about US fleets near the coast of China.

spy satellites do not work like you think they do

hope this help

Who is Thom Freedman. Is he trying to tell us that nobody knows and China won't tell us? Because I agree with that sentiment and support his message but I am not him.

this is the exact thing he would ask, yes. not much gets past him. you should give him a call i think you two would get along
