    Modern warfare is sensor warfare. If you can detect it, you can strike it.

    This is why China and Russia put a heavy focus on information warfare. If you can blind America's eyes, then all that's available is prior-gathered information and slow-gathered information from making direct contact with the opposing forces. If you can sever u.s communications as well, then our military is truly fucked. Even disrupting them will severely handicap u.s power.

    They are right about u.s airport being vulnerable while groundbound, which is the same for literally every nation, although I have heavy doubts about the f35 actually being effective enough to attain air superiority against countries that are specialized in shooting down aircraft.

    Naval warfare, carriers are floating cities that are giant moving targets to surface-to-water missiles, in addition to being almost defenseless against massed missile strikes should they be dumb enough to enter the strike range of China's area of operation.

    What we saw from Iran's counter strike on u.s. bases is what we can expect from China and Russia but magnitudes more deadly should the U.S ever be dumber than it is and attempt military action against them.
