The US could lose up to 900 warplanes fighting a Chinese invasion of Taiwan but would emerge victorious, says think tank
ashoaib@insider.com (Alia Shoaib) - Yesterday 11:12 AM
 
War games held by a Washington think tank simulated combat between China and the US if China were to invade Taiwan. Center for Strategic and International Studies

A think tank ran war game analyses for a conflict between the US and China over Taiwan.

One of the analysts told Insider the US and Taiwan would likely succeed in beating back a Chinese invasion.

However, both sides would likely suffer devastating losses. Up to 900 US warplanes could be destroyed.

It's called a think tank because they THINK that's what will happen.  I imagine most "think" tanks thought Russia would dispatch Ukraine in a few days. :whistle:

So I guess the up to 900 trained American fighter pilots are of no concern? or do they think our fighters are piloted by AI?

That's one of my go-tos when there is clearly no further point in trying to have a discussion.  Take it however makes you feel the best about yourself.
