Do you believe there may exist an over-confidence in the B-21, P-ISR, and their capabilities with regards to penetrating Chinese A2D2 given the more relaxed posture over the last few decades? A less permissible environment may see a higher volume of passive/active air & space borne sensors flood the skies above the Western Pacific. If they were desperate enough (they sure are paranoid), could you imagine hundreds (or thousands) of networked high-altitude balloons or low orbit sensors providing IR targeting data for air defense platforms? Not sure I would express the same concern for China's northern & western corridors though, they seem hyper focused on protecting the SCS and providing a shield for their Navy. How are those EMP cruise missiles coming along?
