TMCs are even more concentrated than military regions and older military districts. *galaxy brain*

By the way, based on how the map still use “Military Region”, the information is at least 10 years old and a decade is a long time.

Admiral mamasan of the ten cent fleet, i don’t need to pay for low grade work. You’ve failed to identify a single launch point viable against a single base without deploying forward of your population centers for PLAAF. PLARF, maybe, with severe restriction on maneuver.
Replying to @Fortexcelsior
I did build an interactive tool for it. But kind of need you to pay to get access. But I doubt you are very enthusiastic about that.

*Galaxy brain* PLAAF will launch strikes from depth Do you understand what an IADS is? What is the range of said platforms fielded by PRC? Go on, be specific. Tell me which launch point and US base? Is that why PLA/AF/NAF bases are located away from their population centers?
Replying to @Fortexcelsior
The content of screenshot is basically saying “we don’t know from unclassified reports.” So I don’t know what is your point here. And you can find a list of bomber bases that are quite comfortably located further inland. From which the bombers can take off, fly well within friendly IADS and fighter protection and release long range stand off missiles.

Where will PLAAF Cold War era mothballed bombers take off from? In the most contested IADS env? Where is Chinese population density concentrated? Who will control the escalation ladder? Read their own doctrine below. PRC has no option but TFS.
Here's a demo to the new feature of my website visualizing PLAAF bomber fleet's strike range against US and partner bases in the region. I think the discourse around PLA's strike capability always seems to miss the PLAAF. By some estimates, the PLAAF operates the world's largest bomber fleet by airframe count with most of them being built after 2010. Given the proximity of US and partner bases to mainland China, the bombers are going to be able to deliver more explosive payload using stand-off munitions vs the PLARF. Of course, the bombers and their bases are more vulnerable to preemptive strikes if the PLA is not the one taking the initiative. But I do think they are a critical pillar of PLA's long-range fire and should be given more attention when discussing possible conflicts in the West Pac, SCS or even the Indian Ocean.

In this case, it would come down to persistence of PLA ISR platforms to provide OTH GNC. PLARF coastal capabilities are static and would be extremely vulnerable to mobile CB fires. Don’t count us out just yet. As always, never underestimate the will of the enemy to fight.
US military planners must ask themselves how many missiles China can stockpile before launching their counter-base attacks on US positions in Asia. That’s the scope of the counter-base threat, not your estimates of current inventories.

This guy is traveling in South Africa and met a kid walking around trying to sell a tire for food. He gives him a few hundred dollars and the kid is in complete shock.
