My briefing in this week's @TheEconomist on the future of aircraft carriers. It looks at the long-running debate over their vulnerability to precision missiles, the shrinking range of their air wings & wider implications for the Pacific balance of power https://t.co/IlIwMZNALp pic.twitter.com/gCUlCqYkaQ— Shashank Joshi (@shashj) November 14, 2019
This is getting tiresome but it illustrates the point that the former CNO laid out.
PAYLOADS OVER PLATFORMS!
1. Why is it always a comparison of naval air striking mainland China? If that were to happen then we're into WW3. Full stop. This is a FALSE NARRATIVE!
2. The solution is relatively simple. It involves a mix of UAVs and long range missiles.
The carrier isn't dead yet. But if it is, I haven't seen the REAL reason why.
