MAKO69 186 Posted June 15, 2015 Looks like China's been busy bee workers creating island(s) for their air force. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32331964 http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/17/asia/china-south-china-sea-reclamation/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyviper 1,101 Posted June 15, 2015 The engineering behind these things is awesome ... as is the engineering behind the things that may be used to destroy these things should the need arise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lazarus1177 164 Posted June 15, 2015 These "Island Bases" accompanied with PLAN Aircraft Carriers might extend China's Reach far beyond what is normally estimated.If I were NATO I'd definitely be making some new anti-runway weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+whiteknight06604 931 Posted June 15, 2015 I bet these bases would be very vulnerable to sabotage by sub born infiltration teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gbnavy61 1 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I bet these bases would be very vulnerable to sabotage by sub born infiltration teams. Heck, you might be able to take them out just using the sub itself. Anything that is stationary is a predictable target. Just start lobbing TLAMs from your submarine and it'll be shut down quickly. Just need more TLAMs. Edited June 15, 2015 by gbnavy61 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
