That's what I thought too, particularly after seeing this photo:

Dam you would think they could hire some software developers to load in some geo svg data and draw some circles for missiles ranges.

Incoming Chinese mass missile attack! Quick, break out the loaded dice!
Gotta pray the J-20 units don't roll a 20 when facing the F-35

No fear J20 (and all Chinese assets) always roll snake eyes.
Key practical recommendation for ROC forces:
Roll gud
Probably anything from 2 to 20 goes
What China needs right now is to roll out loyalman drones equipped with jammers and hypersonic missile. Imagine each fighter jet (J16, J20 or J35) is escorted with three unmanned drones. It can virtually defeat any F35 or F22 or even B21 easily. Loyalman drones acted as long range reconnaissance, enemy targeting, and bodyguard. If loyalman drones are equipped with hypersonic missile, it can achieve air dominance anywhere in the world.
I agree. US has a big headstart in 5th gen production. One easy way to catch up is getting wingman drone ready sooner. If these set ups are done China will be ready to take on US sooner.
So USAF conducted a MASS C-17 drill a few months ago. Basically the scenario is a chinese invasion of Taiwan, they're using the various airbases like MCAS Beaufort to simulate "islands" in the pacific in a chinese invasion of taiwan. this plane specifically is gonna leave the formation and the smaller six ship is gonna refuel ”taiwanese” fighters on the ground in MCAS Beaufort.
its interesting because in this drill, it assumes the USAF will be able to quickly mobilize to contest the airspace and resupply taiwan with their strategic logistic fleet. island by island.
Any thoughts on this?

This is exercise is simulating a really ballsy move IMO since it assumes that the PLA will not be able to effectively lockdown the island.
