A Washington-based CSIS report evaluated cost-imposition strategies for the US and allies against Chinese carriers.
A recent report from the Washington-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies outlined a “cost-imposition” strategy that could help the US and its allies threaten China’s carriers.
It included the use of land-based strike networks, long-range air strikes supported by satellites, cyber and electromagnetic attacks, and drone swarms.
However, the fifth element of this strategy – submarine ambushes – is where many analysts believe the Chinese navy is most vulnerable.
Specifically, the report identified US attack submarines operating in the western Pacific as one of the most potent threats to Chinese carrier groups, arguing that gaps in the navy’s undersea detection and tracking capabilities could leave the high-value ships exposed.
Offene Fragen
- How will the Chinese navy respond to these identified vulnerabilities?
- Will the US military adopt the proposed CSIS strategies?
