Four major (Airpower) takeaways from CSIC's Battle for Taiwan wargaming study (see last Tweet):
1. Shift to smaller, more survivable ships. The #USNavy lost two carriers and 10-20 major surface combatants as it fought its way to enter the Chinese defensive zone.
2. Continue development/fielding of hypersonic weapons. Hypersonics proved invaluable against Chinese platforms in game iterations.
3. Prioritize bombers over fighters. The range, standoff distance, and payload capacity of bombers presented the Chinese with serious challenges.
4. Produce more, cheaper fighters and balance stealth with non-stealth aircraft production. With so many aircraft lost early in the conflict, the #USAF will need numbers (lots of them).
