This is getting ridiculous!
1. Not all areas can be heavily defended, as no nation has the ability to heavily protect all of their assets across a large area. There will be gaps, and those gaps will be exploited.
In order to take out heavily fortified hard targets, you will need to use heavy penetrators. And these typically don't have a very long range. That means you need to fly very close to the target to drop your weapon. In this case, it pretty much means overflying the Chinese mainland.
The B2 is not some magical invisible plane that cannot be found or shot down. Low frequency radars have been proven to be able to detect stealth aircraft. Not with nearly enough degree of accuracy to guide a missile with, but certainly enough to vector fighters in with.
In addition, stealth aircraft are not invisible to radar, they just reduce the effective range of radars. You get a powerful enough radar close enough and it will get a return. This will be especially true if the radar is hitting the stealth from a sub-optimal angle for stealth.
Even if your B2s slip past the fighter screen, there is every chance such important nodes will be point defended. An S300 or HQ9 battery sitting on the node will make the B2's day very interesting trying to get that close to one of the most powerful air search radars in operation without being detected. Even some Tors/HQ7s and or LD2000s etc deployed on site will make the attacker's job much harder, since you now need to try and saturate the defenses as well.
If you send B2s against targets in mainland China without first gaining air superiority, they will get shot down. Maybe not all of them, but at two billion a piece, do you really want to make that trade?
GPS guided munitions are not rendered useless due to jamming of the GPS signal. GPS guided munitions are primarily INS guided, with GPS used to fine tune the targeting. In such cases, the CEP usually increases, but such increases are still within acceptable limits.
Oh really? How big do you think these nodes will be?
Under international law, you cannot deliberately target civilians with lethal force. In war, you must do your utmost best to preserve civilian life, and if any civilian is caught in acts of sabotage, they must be charged criminally, or let go.
Civilians engaging in military activities are no-longer civilians. As soon as you actively target military infrastructure or even aids in carrying out such attacks, you make yourself a 'combatant' and valid target.
Besides, all talk of international law is pure BS. If you go recruiting skippers with the promise that if they get blown to bits doing what you ask then you will take the attacker to court, maybe, and they will tell you where to stick your offer.
There are any number of things China can do to counter such a pathetic attempt of an attack. The simplest and most cost effective would be to declare those areas as mined. Drop a few mines there for the cameras and sink anything unfriendly that wonders in say they hit mines. If you go wondering into a clearly marked minefield, its your own bloody fault if you get blown to bits.
No it isn't; its a civil court issue. In short, you can only sue the person who might have cut the cable, and only to recover the cost of repairs.
.
You clearly have no idea about law, and the very idea is plainly ridiculous.
Deliberate sabotage of key military infrastructure not a mere civil claims court issue as you seem to think. You can face massive fines and prison time or worse if tried and found guilty of such an office in pretty much every country, and China is not particularly forgiving of such offenses, so its plain laughable that even someone caught doing this is peacetime could hope to get away with no other consequence than being ordered to pay the cost of repairs.
In addition, in times or war, normal rules go out the window. If you disregard clear warnings and plain common sense to actively engage in offensive attacks on someone's military infrastructure in an active war zone, then you need to be retarded to not think you will get shot as soon as you get caught in the act.
What more, as has already been pointed out. All China needs to do is to lay its cables in its EEZ and no foreign trawler will ever have any valid excuse to be trawling anywhere near it. Try and the Chinese coast guard will round them up all day long, laughing while they do it.
So this bright idea is plain stupid no matter when you try it.
