The United States is boosting the presence of strategic bombers and missiles in Japan and South Korea.
Four B-1-B Lancers, the most powerful bomber in the US arsenal, have on April 15th been deployed to Japan for the first time.
Reports suggest the US may for the first time, also soon directly deploy a squadron of its own F-35s to an American superbase in South Korea. Experts say these moves are meant to send a message to China and Russia, raising fears of military escalation.
I dont think the fights we see now look anything like what a fight between the US and China would. One of, if not the most, important asset in modern warfare is your satellites. Nobody has yet fought that can hit eachothers space based assets. With China and the US they both can. So it will turn into a space war pretty quick imo. Youll have battles on the surface too yes but above every surface battle will be a space based battle. Just like how in WW2 you saw massive air battles above ground battles. No longer is only air superiority needed but space superiority too. Satellite based missile defence systems are the best way to detect and destroy these missiles and satellite guidance systems are how they navigate. WW3s gonna be in space 100%.
I was talking about a hypothetical bomber attack, not WW3. As seen in Ukraine, there’s a long way up the escalation ladder before that point is reached and we start hitting mutual destruction options like taking out satellites. Russia could absolutely take out NATO satellites that provide information for Ukraine right now, but they haven’t done so and most likely won’t.
