        DCS is extremely terrible for running simulations, even small scale ones you are trying to game one way or another don't run like you think they should. The AI sucks ass and things like player fox 3 don't work right when the players use them how they should be used.

        I've done a bit of messing about with it, even without EA-18Gs just to be fair (CMO's EW model is a bit simplified) and even with the ultra capable automatic Patriot battery level response times of Chinese SAMs it's pretty easy to get a bomb onto basically any target in mainland China. It's just too large of a country.

        If this was SIGINT or SBIRS, why didn't US side just intercept the Iranian missiles? Or what is it, that you claim - USA can't intercept Iranian missiles but can intercept much more advanced Chinese hypersonic missiles?

              I hope you actually live in mainland China so you get to have the Russians-in-Belgorod-when-the-bombs-land experience once the US retaliates.

              Really. I don't live in the US or a NATO country and even though my country could feasibly cut ties with the US and hold ground during a small conflict with them, I don't go around bragging because that's not something you do with these people.

              If you live in the US or under their umbrella and you're saying this shit you are pathetic.

          because a few holes in an empty barracks are stupid easy and cheap to fix (these aren't exactly hardened structures). that should be pretty clear from just a rudimentary understanding of base logistics

          not responding with an intercept is actually direct evidence it was sigint, as it indicates they already knew it would be a one-off

            If this was coming from the Russians, after the HIMARS strike, you would call it MEGA COPE and you know it. But you somehow in your fricked brain think its appropriate for the strongest army on the planet to let itself be attacked, and then not even call article 5 of NATO treaty and destroying Iran with collective might of the Western world for DARING to attack American bases.

            Maybe if China sinks your carriers, you would also say that "replacing the carrier is easy, and we can replace those fallen sailors with migrants just by opening Mexico border for 2 days, so its no biggie".

Even incredibly obvious gestures of goodwill (actual ones) like evacuating support staff, keeping only the minimum required combat personnel outside to ensure base security, not immediately retaliating once the launches were detected, were just not picked up on by these morons.

                In another world where the US wanted a war they would have fired 100 or so Tomahawks the moment the launches were detected over Iran and we'd be making memes about the F-14 being a critically endangered species after 90% of the remaining fleet was destroyed.

    American propaganda used to be about belittling and mocking the enemy force. Nowadays they overly exaggerate the threat in order to scam the congress for more gibs. Kinda reflects on what the top brass think priorities are. Once morale was more important, but now machines and softwares do all the work, so whats the point of morale anymore? That is, not taking into consideration the fact that they're all greedy fat cats with no respect towards the people they're supposed to defend

                Well the thing is that the tech for an actual presence on the moon or even GETTING to mars hasnt been on the table and wouldnt have been reasonable in any capacity and largely still isnt. The Apollo missions themselves were mostly a gigantic waste of time and resources for what little science they actually did and were mostly a PR stunt to shit on the Russians more than anything. We stopped going because it wasnt worth it anymore and in many ways it still isnt. Reusable rockets and the like are step in the right direction for a more sustainable presence on the moon and the computer tech advancements make everything a lot easier but its still not something that could be considered viable.

                All of these buttholes that cry about how important it is to get to the moon or mars fail to realize that there isnt much reason to be there yet is all im saying.

                Pretty sure he was talking about that as a way to fuel stations on mars itself. Either way those pockets are EXTREMELY hazardous to deal with and you still have to deliver all of the infrastructure to the moon to harvest and use it. Then you have a base on the moon. What then? What actual use is there for a moon base currently? You can run a lab and do some basic science but how much of that could just be done on the ISS instead? You could seed a large base. Sure now what is that colony actually going to DO? Mining is out of the question with current tech and investment. Tourism would be a no go. Just about the only thing that would be interesting would be a space telescope but with the regolith and shit it would be a nightmare. Radio telescope is just about the only practical use because you can just turn a crater into one on the cheap. Is that ACTUALLY worth the investment?

                We should go to mars to go to mars. And we are definitely capable of doing so, very little needs to actually be invented to do so. We need to apply known technologies and techniques, but it’s not even remotely implausible to get to mars and do an extended stay of about 3 months. In many ways it’s easier than going to the moon

                >In many ways it’s easier than going to the moon

                haha no. Also just going somewhere to go somewhere has no actual value and sending people doesnt do a whole hell of a lot more than just sending rovers at the end of the day.

                Mars is more habitable than the moon and easier to both land and take off from, the only difficulty is literally the transit time and the communications issues, the latter is very solvable, and the former is a soft problem not a hard problem.

                Technically true in the same way that the bottom of the ocean is more habitable than the middle of a fricking volcano but neither are good places for people to be. The rest is absolute bullshit though. The moon has FAR less gravity which is the PRIMARY issue for take off and landing. The sheer distance involved multiplies the supply constraints as well. No matter how much sci fi you read about them jerking off hydroponics and the like the simple fact is you will still need to store and transport 90% of all food and water you would need for your entire stay and the transit back and forth. The logisitcs alone means manned missions to mars is a long way away.

                The issue isnt getting there its getting there and back alive which takes so much goddamn space and weight its impractical in every sense of the word.

                Landing is HALF of the issue of a manned mission unless you want to send people there to die. The problem is sending enough fuel to land a mission with all of the supplies needed PLUS the cost to leave the planet again. Landing difficulty is less of an issue the more you can get computers to handle it for you as well. You dont have to manually do all of that shit and rely on precalculated math done by dozens of people days in advance anymore.

                Anon the reason landing and taking off is a “problem” is because of fuel expenditure. Hence why I referred to aerobraking, and gravity capture. It saves a frickload of fuel. Also there’s frick all places you can really hang out on the moon. I’m very bullish on the issue of supplying, tbqh. That is literally just a matter of lowering the cost per KG to orbit. If you’ve got a vehicle that can transit to mars and land reliably, and it has a shitload of upmass at a low cost, there’s really no reason not to solve the supply problem by simply launching several extra cargo craft. Unless it costs over 500 million per launch-to-mars for one of these there is literally no reason no to do this and to use this to build in redundancy of supply. Even in situ refueling can be sped up this way by simply sending an automated refuelling plant (which certainly isn’t the simplest thing ever done) to arrive long before your crewed craft does and get to work. It’s quite doable. The bottleneck right now is basically
                >deep space long transit time crewed craft
                >cryogenic fuel transfers
                >habitation modules for the Martian surface
                The second is being solved right now during the HLS program. The latter is being worked on by contractors for later Artemis missions - any lunar module development will be harder than a Martian one lol. The first problem isn’t easy but orion exists, no one thinks it can’t be done it just needs doing

                [...]
                the issue here is heat - AFAIK, a lot more landers have been lost to planetary atmospheres than to hard impacts.

                besides, the skycrane landing approach still works in vacuum and it's extremely successful for landings so far - even Earth-based relaunch-capable vehicles aren't using atmosphere for braking, they're using it for control/stability (unless SpaceX is slapping on parachutes i don't know about)

                Anon I can think of three times recently lunar landings have failed precisely because they did not have the fuel required to slow their descent enough to avoid pancaking because they couldn’t aerobrake or anything. F9 has control surfaces but not aero brakes because it stages very early. Starship will aerobreak while super heavy will use essentially the same control surfaces to land similarly to F9 first stage. The reason why Mars lands have previously been hard is 1 poor telemetry 2 extremely tight mass budgets.

                You are overestimating the atmosphere of mars as well. Aerobraking and the like doesnt work unless you have a fairly thick atmosphere which mars does not. Every issue you have with landing on the moon is present on mars with the added demerit of having to frick around with a much higher gravity. In no way is it easier overall to land on mars than the moon. You can talk all you want about running out of fuel and the like but the simple fact is if you are running out its your own damn fault for not accurately doing the math to find out how much you need. And the simple fact is you need MUCH more of it to land and take off from mars and its the MAIN influence on difficulty.

                Aerobreaking on mars works it just doesn’t work if you’re exclusively using it. You get captured by Martian gravity, orbit the planet while descending into the atmosphere, orbit several times slowing down bit by bit, use propulsive landing at the end.
                Also no you don’t need more fuel to land on mars. I don’t know where you got that idea. It being farther away does not make it harder to land on anon.

To hedge your bets on all of that is the silliest shit you could be doing and basing your entire thought process on what COULD work and what MIGHT happen is really fricking stupid. Sure it MIGHT be possible to get fuel collected on mars but how much and how long it would take and how much infrastructure it would take to do that can make the whole thing absolutely fricking impossible. "Its easier to land on mars because all of this tech that doesnt exist and might work" is the worst fricking position you could have.

                Anon, people know how they’d get the fuel, how they’d power the refining process, have rough estimates of the time and amount of power required and the square footage of solar panels necessary. It’s sub 100 tons of equipment (probably)
                Literally no one thinks it’s a “might” that you can get and refine methalox on mars, or that the process is only a “could work”.
                At this point the argument has evolved but if you read my initial post you’ll see I said “in many ways it’s easier than going to the moon.” And I stand by that
                It’s easier to land, it’s more hospitable, both in absolute and proportional terms there is significantly more land on which one can land and stay, the temperature fluctuations on the moon are a b***h and a half, regolith is gay, lunar orbit is a nightmare, etc. in other ways it’s harder - telemetry and transit times are the big ones. Quite frankly though if something goes wrong on the moon no one can get to you in time anyway so in that sense it’s not less isolated.
                Space… is hard. But it’s not impossible by any means, going to mars for a multi month stay is not some feat of science fiction, it simply requires NASA and US companies to leverage and develop existing technologies and systems.
                I dunno why you’re so worked up about this anyway, especially since you’re fairly ignorant on the subject.

                A bunch of thoughts on paper at the end of the day are still thoughts on paper. They are not practical uses and there is nothing guaranteeing that they are feasible in the slightest. The only way to know if they work is to fricking go out there and actually DO it. Then it will fail and you will have to figure out why and revise the whole thing until it works if you can get it to work. I am not and will never say it is impossible just that if you think any of this shit is as easy as what a bunch of buttholes write up in a white paper you are delusional. All of this tech you are jerking off so much about is decades off from ever reaching even a fricking test phase. Anything that is still only words on paper is hypothetical and that is the bottom fricking line. Without practical tests and research into it you cannot rely on it.

                Smart people write papers every day and are wrong or over estimate the capabilities or feasibility of what they are putting down. You cant just assume that any of it is going to actually happen and plan like it will or base your entire veiwpoint on it. If you were out here saying that it MIGHT be easier to land on mars if this shit pans out i would respect your opinion on it a hell of a lot more than you DECLARING that it is based on shaky unproven research that has never been tested.

                Go read The Case for Mars. The basic engineering got worked out back in the '90s, including small-scale test rigs that operated in re-created Martian atmospheres. The only real gotcha is the power requirement (converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen--or worse, water--to methane and oxygen is *highly* endothermic). Zubrin posited a UGV the size of a small truck with a micro-reactor and a power cable. Elon is more interested in solar panels and batteries, because that means he doesn't have to try to get a new reactor design approved by the nuclear-hating government bureaucrats.

                In short, there's nothing that would be considered non-trivial other than building a rocket that can land on Mars, be refueled, and take off again... which is part of why Starship looks the way it does.

                No the moon is harder to land on than mars and I’m not joking. Between the smaller amount of landing sites, the lack of atmosphere and lower gravity it unironically is harder to land on - assuming you have the right telemetry.

                Less gravity makes it harder to land. Mars still has low enough gravity that it’s easy to take off from. Atmosphere is far more important for landing than gravity too. Aerobraking is OP

                the issue here is heat - AFAIK, a lot more landers have been lost to planetary atmospheres than to hard impacts.

                besides, the skycrane landing approach still works in vacuum and it's extremely successful for landings so far - even Earth-based relaunch-capable vehicles aren't using atmosphere for braking, they're using it for control/stability (unless SpaceX is slapping on parachutes i don't know about)

                The lack of atmosphere makes it *easier* to land on the moon. Mars has just enough of an atmosphere for re-entry to cause thermal issues, and not enough to allow for practical heavier-than-air flight. That's why such exotic designs as airbags and skycranes have been used on Mars, whereas very simple probes were able to land on the Moon back in the '60s. Starship is partly the way it is in order to land a large payload on Mars without having to use ruinous amounts of propellant to slow down from interplanetary speeds.

We need to apply known technologies and techniques, but it’s not even remotely implausible to get to mars and do an extended stay of about 3 months. In many ways it’s easier than going to the moon

              The Soviet space and military rocketry programs had a better safety record than NASA's... until the Soviet archives were opened after 1991 and it retroactively became far, far, far worse.
              My favorite incident was the ICBM test that killed 300 people that the Soviets successfully covered up. Turns out a 5-star general who "died in a small plane crash" was actually so thoroughly killed by the rocket explosion that his corpse was only identifiable by his partially-melted rank insignia.

            Which is why they're offering the military a separate constellation, if they're willing to pay for it. That allows SpaceX to try to keep Starlink as a civilian concern.

            You may recall that Elon had no problem with UAF using Starlink to communicate (even to call for artillery fire), but objected to the use of Starlink to directly control kamikaze USVs. A fine line, perhaps, but an important one.

            SM-3 cant hit targets that are not in outer space, and Chinese Hypersonic GLIDE Vehicles are cruising within the atmosphere (they glide, because y'know, they need AIR)

            SM-6 can potentially intercept them, but the pK is very low because HGVs are maneuverable and fly a crazy spiralling attack pattern that is unpredictable.

            In the scenario, China is using their less capable HGVs (assumed to be DF-17 1st gen HGVs) to draw the fire of the entire carrier group's SM-6. Due to the standard doctrine of two shots per missile per engagement, a considerable amount of missiles will be spent to hit even a dozen "decoy" HGVs, opening the way for the higher tier HGVs (assumed to be DF-27 2nd gens) to kill and mop up the carrier group.

              SM-6 are maneuverable on its right. Not quite in terminal but in flight, it is. The middle of that flight path you posted is vulnerable.

              That's where SM-6 will shine. IB will be on the more advanced weapons.

          Literally CMO.

          Oh btw you haven't posted the actual paper (nor is it easily findable on the internet, curiously) probably to avoid getting BTFO. The article clearly states that

          >During the simulation, the PLA used its sea-based surveillance network to detect and identify the US carrier group

          Which is obviously the Sino-SOSUS sensor/facility in the game (completely worthless, literally just the existing SOSUS sensor with a higher "technology rating"). Worthless.

          It also doesn't state whether or not the US side had access to supporting sensors, such as, again, the sea-based X-band radar, any forward deployed TPY-2s, SBIRS, or anything that would give the firing ships target cuing. The stated range of SM-D Blk IIA is 1325 in CMO which is only achievable if, as you can see in the Guidance Type column, the launching system has knowledge of the missile that far out and can plot an intercept. Ticonderoga Baseline 4 from 2018 (which is also incredibly obviously the one they're using, same with the Burkes) has a radar with the ABM qualifier (which is the only one capable of seeing high altitude and space targets because the game is, again, a game) with a range of 175 nmi.

          Oh and a thing about SM-3s in the game.

          They are given a waypoint to "seek to" in front of the missile (with reasonable energy/time constraints so it doesn't just fire missiles at targets it can't hit) and after that the "terminal sensor" in the missile activates and can fire. This is not how SM-3s work IRL, and if you trick the game into auto-firing on a target detected on a descending trajectory the missile will frequently bug out, aim a few hundred km high or low of the missile and not even get the chance to make a impact roll. You can easily waste 20+ SM-3s this way and it applies to all BMD interceptors.

          So basically, by deliberately depriving the US of a critical and always-used part of the SM-3 kill chain you can falsify the outcome.

          Please go frick yourself.

            Same anon, a bit of clarification.

            >They are given a waypoint to "seek to" in front of the missile
            This is also how AIM-120Ds, that have a two way datalink, work in the game. But with those it actually works. An F-35 launch a missile, turn cold, and another F-35 can transmit updated target information to the missile, at which point the "seek-to" point updates and the missile changes course. This is mid-course guidance and is an accurately simulated part of the game.

            The problem is that SM-3s don't do it. All public literature on SM-3s we have states that it can get mid-course updates and maneuver, with power, through the atmosphere up until about 30 seconds to intercept. The SM-3 in CMO DOES NOT DO THIS and the generic missile guidance simulation (the same used for SM-2s etc) assumes it will happen. As a result you get situations like this:

            >vampire detected, 1000 km altitude, mach 15, trajectory heading for target ship
            >game simulates the speed of the SM-3, the altitude, whether or not the intercept point will be "in space" (SM-3 requires it, SM-2 can't handle it etc), and finds a point in space for the seek-to point (generally like 5-10 nmi short of the actual intercept location)
            >game fires it
            >SM-3 at this point just guides dumb to that location
            >the missile pitches down, speeds up (this is NOT hypersonic waveguide stuff, it's normal ballistics)
            >the SM-3 does not correct
            >the SM-3 flies to the intercept point, sees nothing is there (as the missile is now 300 nmi behind it and 100 nmi below it) and just flies off

            A real SM-3 will plot a feasible intercept location to begin with (accounting for ACCELERATION AND DROP OF THE FRICKING VAMPIRE) then provide updated targeting information to it as it flies there.

            So yeah the chink is full of shit and I hope he gets eaten by an escalator.

              You don't even know the platform I'm talking about you sad piece of shit. It weighs 45 tons and is always in the pacific whenever someone decides to throw missiles around. You not knowing the exact appearance of it, its function and deployment history the moment I refer to it means you shouldn't talk about this subject at all.

              The shit about SBIRS is also so fricking ignorant and wrong it would be painful if it didn't just make me feel sorry for you. It is public knowledge that SBIRS is accurate enough to determine the type of missile and its heading and has been since 2020 when the system was used to provide advance warning of the Iranian missile attack. The missiles were in the air for 6 minutes and SBIRS alone was capable of determining an impact point and providing that information to the targeted air base.

                In Iran it was controlled information leak by the Iranians that wanted to save face for Soleimany killing, but also didn't want to escalate to a war, so they warned US through multiple channels about incoming attack. It was a fricking theater and SBIRS had nothing to do with it.

In some cases we even lose on purpose so politicians give the military more money. Just read CSIS's conclusion from a chinese taiwan invasion simulation, they arnt even being subtle about it

        https://www.csis.org/analysis/first-battle-next-war-wargaming-chinese-invasion-taiwan

        "CSIS developed a wargame for a Chinese amphibious invasion of Taiwan and ran it 24 times. In most scenarios, the United States/Taiwan/Japan defeated a conventional amphibious invasion by China and maintained an autonomous Taiwan. However, this defense came at high cost"...... "Victory is therefore not enough. The United States needs to strengthen deterrence immediately."

      There's clearly some confusion here regarding the nature of "wargames". The term is a broad catchphrase for almost any simulated military action.

      Some wargames are intended to train troops. These usually follow a fixed script, because the whole point is to have troops experience certain events in the field so that they can practice their training on how to handle them. Other wargames are highly-speculative simulations intended to look into the future and predict the strengths and weaknesses of certain techniques or types of equipment. Some are high-level training tools designed to make the players think deeply about potential strategic situations they might someday have to deal with if things went really wrong. And some are propaganda, fudged heavily in order to make a military (or a particular system) look really good (or really bad, in order to encourage funding of something "better").

      It's not enough to just label something as a wargame and make a blanket generalization from it. You need to determine what the purpose of the wargame was, and whether it accomplished that purpose.

      • 10 months ago
        Anonymous

        Don't forget, sometimes the script is written for you to lose on purpose, to show the players what could happen if everyone went along with a bad plan.
        For instance, think about a wargame with a totally unprotected carrier with no group. Your carrier is intended to lose that one, and its to show the players what that looks like, how quickly it might happen, how it might happen, etc.
        Then everyone can agree "yeah we shouldn't do that in real life, lets protect our carriers with groups" and then you can wargame different carrier groups, for instance.
        Setting up wargames where you win can be helpful to, but done too often its just a tool for fellating your own military. Losing all the time is also a sign the military is trying to scare politicians into giving them more money for projects to "fix" the failures.

    Ukrainian Air Defense and Air Force shouldn't have survived the 24th of February. The odds were overwhelmingly in favor of Russians. Just the sheer number of aircrafts and long-range missiles available was enough to overload any Ukrainian capacity to organize the resistance in the airspace. Yet the final day preparations plus the unimaginable incompetence of Surovikin and his morons allowed Ukrainian Air Force to survive and conduct combat operations until the aid arrived.
    Hypersonic Missiles could be cool, but I strongly favor the side that has been better trained and has both actual combat experience and competent military intelligence. If US Navy knows that they are going to be hit at least a day in advance, I just don't see how that might succeed.

      The Air Force didn't buy into the deescalation talk and took the NATO forewarnings seriously. At zero hour almost every aircraft that could fly was ordered airborne and dispersed. That combined with the Russians dogshit accuracy and BDA allowed them to survive and stay in the fight, and the ground personnel that stayed behind were alert and prepared to repel VDV attacks. There was a lot that went wrong on the Ukrainian side on the first day, but the Air Force pulled in clutch and saved a lot of lives for it.

    If you're running wargames you ought to be running them until your side loses and then you can deduce what to do right and what to fix. If you run wargames and it just pats yourself on the back you're doing it wrong. They shouldn't be propaganda self-flagellation but rather a way to get into the enemy's mind and think "How would I beat myself?"

    So China should be more focused on how would the US counteract these hypersonics and not "look at our good our shit is".

    How a war with China would go is us wondering "How the frick did they become so weak?" after one billion chinks die in the first week, somehow, while wumao spam PrepHole with CHINA NUMBA WON after successfully retaking Pingpong Village (Population: 2)

      There won't be PrepHole if war with China starts, for you to brag about, because it either will be destroyed with strikes on Japan, or in cyber attack, or going to be shut down because American soldiers would use it to leak secret information, because lots of Americans would be against war and would use any chance they have to help China win by leaking whatever secret documents they have everywhere.

      https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3221495/chinese-scientists-war-game-hypersonic-strike-us-carrier-group-south-china-sea

      >The military planners selected vessels deemed the US Navy’s most superior – the CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford, accompanied by a CG56 Ticonderoga-class cruiser the San Jacinto, and four DDG-103 Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA guided missile destroyers.
      >The Ford-class carrier, commissioned in July 2017, boasts exceptional technology and design advancements, according to the researchers. Features include a pioneering electromagnetic launch system and state-of-the-art radar and electronic warfare systems.These sophisticated technologies detect incoming threats while multiple layers of armour and protective systems are designed to lessen the impact of missile attacks and other enemy firepower.
      >The strike group’s cruisers and destroyers were also equipped with advanced weapons and defensive measures, including radar systems that could detect incoming threats while simultaneously tracking multiple targets, the researchers said.

      It wasn't assumption like in Grim Reapers "US 2025 carrier group against Chinese 2010 carrier group, GO!"

    We can not let our Taiwanese Christian brothers be taken and tortured or persecuted, and we should not week a global war. A de-escalation would be a strategic move. We could float ships up the West Coast for defense and national morale. We can protect our coasts from here, but we do not need to show weakness to the communists to secure Taiwan.

      It's an extremely tense situation. America clearly has the upper hand here, and a massive navy relatively. Would still be the major force if we started showing signs of de-escalation. But we should leave our Pacific coast unguarded.

        We should NOT leave the coast unguarded. Same goes for the Atlantic Coast and Russia. To protect the USA and the American people is the highest purpose of our military.

      they don't.
      There was a wargame simulation many years ago where Russia would attack Poland, the result was a disaster, Poland suffered huge casualties and NATO would fight a large battle against Russian forces with huge losses on both sides. Meanwhile in reality...

        this particular wargame used a tico without Aegis, the wrong carrier (Atlantic/not kitted for forward operations in the contested Pacific), and other sneaky cope tricks to improve odds dramatically... and still only got 80%
        that's 80% to hit, not to sink - 4 weeks and hundreds of thousands of pounds of ordinance failed to sink a basically empty the USS America, an old Kitty Hawk sitting still and taking a beating... it had to be detonated from the inside with pre-placed explosives
        now imagine that attempt with evasive motion & people on board plugging / fire controlling
        while SINKEX tries to make the target as hard to sink as possible, modern US supercarriers can implement many of the same measures while under operation, this is where the billions $USD go and why no one cares about Chinese attempts at cloning them; they look similar superficially, but anyone can build a big empty tub, as Russia's Navy why it needs tugs to even leave dock
        short of just lobbing nukes at a carrier and praying the crew hasn't begun taking protective measures; US carriers have been hardened against nukes since the results from tests on the USS Independence came in nearly a century ago... you'd need to get into the megaton range but at that point what the frick are you doing?
        none of that matters to China shills, but I hope the infinite pajeets reading this learned something new

        prior to Desert Storm, the US was projecting 30,000 casualties within a month

          dude, if the carrier is hit and burned a little, its not operational and easy target for finishing off for the next wave of whatever China decides to throw at it. Once they do enough damage to render carrier inoperational in launching planes, then even supersonic missiles or even subsonic missiles could finish the carrier.

        Wargames are made under worst case scenario and even then they cut short stuff like supplies.

        I read it long time ago, i remember it was set up with both sides having their Army in position for the war unlike the ukraine war.

        https://warontherocks.com/2019/04/how-does-the-next-great-power-conflict-play-out-lessons-from-a-wargame/

        The wargames were played by six student teams, or approximately five persons each. There were three red teams, representing Russia, China, and North Korea; combatting three blue teams representing Taiwan, Indo-Pacific Command (Korea conflict) and European Command. All of these teams were permitted to coordinate their activities both before the conflict and during. Interestingly, although it was not part of the original player organization the Blue side found it necessary to have a player take on the role of the Joint Staff, to better coordinate global activities.

        Prior to the wargame, the students were given a list of approximately 75 items they could invest in that would give them certain advantages during the game. Nearly everything was on the table, from buying an additional carrier or brigade combat team, to taking a shot at getting quantum computing technology to work. Each team was given $200 billion dollars to invest, with the Russians and Chinese being forced to split their funding. Every team invested heavily in hypersonic technology, cyber (offensive and defensive), space, and lasers. The U.S. team also invested a large sum in directed diplomacy. If they had not done so, Germany and two other NATO nations would not have shown up for the fight in Poland. Showing a deepening understanding of the crucial importance of logistics, both red and blue teams used their limited lasers to defend ports and major logistical centers.

          >Because the benefits of quantum computing were so massive, the American team spent a huge amount of its investment capital in a failed bid for quantum dominance. In this case, quantum computing might resemble cold fusion — ten years away and always will be. Interestingly, no one wanted another carrier, while everyone invested heavily in artificial intelligence, attack submarines, and stealth squadrons. The U.S. team also invested in upgrading logistics infrastructure, which had a substantial positive impact on sustaining three global fights.

    >A war over Taiwan could leave a victorious US military in as crippled a state as the Chinese forces it defeated.

    >At the end of the conflict, at least two US aircraft carriers would lie at the bottom of the Pacific and China’s modern navy, which is the largest in the world, would be in “shambles.”

    >Those are among the conclusions the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), made after running what it claims is one of the most extensive war-game simulations ever conducted on a possible conflict over Taiwan

      >CSIS ran this war game 24 times to answer two fundamental questions: would the invasion succeed and at what cost?

      >The likely answers to those two questions are no and enormous, the CSIS report said.

      >“The United States and Japan lose dozens of ships, hundreds of aircraft, and thousands of service members. Such losses would damage the US global position for many years,” the report said. In most scenarios, the US Navy lost two aircraft carriers and 10 to 20 large surface combatants. Approximately 3,200 US troops would be killed in three weeks of combat, nearly half of what the US lost in two decades of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

      >“China also suffers heavily. Its navy is in shambles, the core of its amphibious forces is broken, and tens of thousands of soldiers are prisoners of war,” it said. The report estimated China would suffer about 10,000 troops killed and lose 155 combat aircraft and 138 major ships.

      >The scenarios paint a bleak future for Taiwan, even if a Chinese invasion doesn’t succeed.

      >“While Taiwan’s military is unbroken, it is severely degraded and left to defend a damaged economy on an island without electricity and basic services,” the report. The island’s army would suffer about 3,500 casualties, and all 26 destroyers and frigates in its navy will be sunk, the report said.

      >Japan is likely to lose more than 100 combat aircraft and 26 warships while US military bases on its home territory come under Chinese attack, the report found.
