I don't see total air dominance in Ukraine even now.
Neither do I.
Frankly it seems to be every argument against modern peer-vs-peer war, that it'd be a missile slinging shitshow where everything that vaguely resembles a fighting vehicle is worth blowing up with a guided rocket. This is why I'm so doubtful of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, because you can't dismount infantry to clear out missile crews in the middle of a fucking ocean.
Those are just guided rockets. The Eastern Europeans are using mass volume of fire at basically anything that can move. Mass dumb rocket barrages are pretty uncharacteristic of a modern military, but they're doing it anyway... which can only suggest that the level of fighting is a Khe Sahn style slog where they were bracketing NVA attacks with massed artillery like it was WW1. There's so much chaos on the ground, I'm wondering if even the Command and Control staff have a clear understanding of what's happening beyond a general understanding of where the front probably is.
I can only imagine that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would actually be more insane and intense considering that although the Chinese have an equipment advantage, the level of deception and maneuver that Taiwan would have to sustain would be even more intense than anything we've already seen.
I am letting the community do what it's gonna do. I'm just reminding people to be cautious about what they see.
