But TFA explicitly says that's not what it's suggesting...?
- maxglute 2y agoTFA explicitly use PLA EW blinding/jamming USN fleet to deter blockade running, so important to pay more attention to EW. TFA also acknowledges not expert on strategy/tactics, so it can be overlooked to author chose to focus on one scenario where PRC media has talked about EW. But also important to highlight more resilient USN EW in this scenario is not really make or break, hence scenario stupid for selling better EW, since there's so many other layers of deterence and outright denial that makes US ability to break blockade more or less impossible. A not stupid scenario would be PRC claims of frequent EW showdowns with USN in SCS this year, i.e. allegedly linked to USN dismissing an EA-18G Growler (EW variant of F18) commander on USS Carl Vinson for loss of confidence.
