Depends if you include drones and missiles in aviation. I am not sure what you can infer from ww2 when the only way to hit a factory was a risky and imprecise carpet bombing raid when today it takes a single missile. Warships have basically become floating missile launching platforms. And in a US-China war I don't think any of the two parties is contemplating a land invasion anyway. So it will be all air force and navy.
- paganel 4y agoYou need feet on the ground to try and win a war for good, and even then, chances are you won’t be able to win it in the long run anyway. I get it though, more than two thirds of the US’s defense money goes into its Navy and its Airforce, so I guess that, ideologically, most of the US military strategy is focused on using those assets instead of using “mere” infantry and artillery. Let’s hope we won’t get to see that opinion tested in real life anytime soon.
