TAC: The US will not have enough weapons in the event of an armed conflict with China

In his opinion, which he expressed in an article for The American Conservative magazine, the US Navy will attempt to blockade the Pacific coast of China if the confrontation over Taiwan cannot be avoided.

However, the colonel noted, by creating a blockade, the United States will not be able to deprive China of its main strategic advantage.

"The depth of the country's territory on a continent with a friendly, resource-rich Russia in the north suggests that the blockade is unlikely to succeed," he stated.

As a result of the long blockade, McGregor stressed, the United States will face a shortage of weapons.

“Based on the rate at which munitions and precision-guided weapons systems of all kinds are being used up in Ukraine, the current stockpile of precision-guided missiles and munitions in the United States will be quickly depleted,” the observer concluded.

Earlier, Bloomberg wrote that in the event of an aggravation of the situation around Taiwan, China will be able to sink most of the surface fleets of the United States and Japan.
