I would love to see a study of the 777 tankers and some F-22 or F-35 in close island approximity and their effectiviness in conflict in Tiawian straits or North korea. A 777 hold the world distance record and time in air of 23 or more hours

This threat needs to be considered possible. This is why the KC 777 as a refueling tanker would be a excellent counter and the best tankerr in the world today . Any island base in the Pacific would allow fighters to refuel with A 777 tanker in the area and be on target within 1 to 3 hours. fighters could aslo use after burners to get to target quicker with the massive fuel offload of a 777 50% more than any other tanker . The 777 also would have enough additional cargo and troop capacity to supply and set up these island air bases with needed supplies and personnel if needed.

Mr. Tan:

First, thanks for your comment. You should know that I’m approaching this matter strictly in terms of an assessment of China’s capabilities, not its intentions. While the two are necessarily interdependent, I’m simply assessing the capability. And the DF-21 is (1) mobile and (2) has a range of around 2,500 km. This means that such a system could cover all the sea approaches in Asia – including the Indian Ocean. In fact, such a system could reach US bases in the Marianas – and do so with pinpoint accuracy. While China’s intentions may be simon-pure, that capability must be assessed and countered.

Again, thanks for your comment and for reading Behind Blue Lines.

Don’t worry. China is not going to use her ASBM against the US carrier group. After all China is a responsible Big 5, she had a lot of catch-up to do with her economics and other internal head-ache and her usual natural disaster to overcome. After all, US is her largest debtor – certainly she is not going to kill the goose that laid golden eggs. Further striking a carrier meant war with US, the last in Chinese mind. However the same may not apply to Taiwan because that is in regards to territorial integrity of China. She meant well when she applied DF-31 with 2, 500 km instead of 12, 000 km. Just a polite warning that ” don’t mess with me in regard to Taiwan”. That’s all.
