China already possesses the advantage of “effective range” for its weapons.
First published by Ye Qiquan: March 29, 2023
summary:
Beyond the “effective range” advantage of China’s strategic weapons, its operational-level weapons also possess a reliable “effective range” advantage compared to the United States. This gives China a de facto battlefield advantage in all levels of conventional warfare. This advantage is particularly overwhelming when China pursues a “defensive-offensive strategy.”
[Note 1: All data is from databases prior to April 2022. Please forgive the lack of time and energy to update the data. However, Ye Qiquan is confident that the progress of Chinese weaponry will not stagnate in the near future. Even without updating the latest data, the upward trend of Chinese weaponry will not change, and the above conclusions will not be significantly deviated from.]
[Note 2: Even with China’s substantial investment in developing its aircraft carrier battle groups, their role in a Sino-US conflict in East Asia will primarily be limited to battlefield isolation or theater deterrence. In a defensive theater of operations in East Asia, China’s decisive force will be medium-range missiles. In an offensive theater of operations in Taiwan, China’s decisive force will be short-range missiles, battlefield drones, and battlefield robots. In a defensive theater of operations targeting Europe’s overall involvement in East Asia, China’s decisive weapon will be a strategy of “creating chaos in Europe and defeating the enemy outside the defensive zone.” The true bottom line for ensuring China’s survival is possessing 3,500 nuclear warheads and demonstrating to the people of North America and Europe its resolve to use them. This is China’s capability to “preemptively eliminate the option of nuclear war.” Further details will be explained in a separate article.]
summary:
Based on the three key elements of a weapon’s “effective range,” it can be reasonably concluded that ” China’s operational-level weapons already possess an advantage in effective range.” This advantage can ensure China’s victory in a protracted war of attrition.
