China has developed a formidable, multi-layered anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) system, effectively creating a “defensive bubble” designed to deter the U.S. Navy and potentially sink aircraft carriers.
-This system integrates numerous threats, including “carrier-killer” ballistic missiles, new hypersonic anti-ship weapons, quieter submarines, and an emerging “drone wall” of unmanned systems.
-Together, these layers create vast ocean areas that are too dangerous for U.S. aircraft carriers to operate in during a conflict.
-This A2/AD strategy could successfully prevent the U.S. from intervening effectively in a potential invasion of Taiwan.
