Now both China and the United States have the ability to launch missiles to saturate surface ships at a long distance, and the future development direction is also more and more out-of-area attacks. So the survivability of surface ships will become worse and worse in the future
The problem is that the United States does not need to let the fleet enter the combat zone, and the United States can let the fleet hide far away. But China cannot let the fleet hide far away. If it wants to land in Taiwan, the fleet must enter the combat zone. This is a very difficult problem to solve
Another problem is that if China and the United States fire missiles at each other, China will suffer more. Because the United States can hit important coastal cities in China, while China can only hit American islands in the Pacific. These small islands are basically military bases and have little economic value. So the degree of loss on both sides is different
So even if the equipment level of China and the United States is the same, the United States still has an asymmetric advantage
but maybe soon I have some good news to tell.
