The Pentagon’s “Overmatch Brief”, a top-secret government document, details China’s ability to destroy American fighter jets, large ships and satellites.
A top-secret US government assessment claims that China would destroy American fighter planes and defeat the military in a possible conflict over Taiwan, The New York Times reported. This document, “Overmatch Brief”, was reportedly prepared by the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment and shows the comparison between Washington’s dependence on expensive, vulnerable weapons and the rival’s “cheap but technologically advanced” ones.
The report comes days after China warned that it would “crush” all foreign attempts to interfere in the Taiwan matter, as Japan warned of placing missiles on an island close to Taiwan. At that time, Peng Qingen, a spokesperson for China's Taiwan Affairs Office, said during a press conference, “We have a firm will, strong determination and a strong ability to defend our national sovereignty and territorial integrity… We will crush all foreign interference.”
China will defeat US military in potential Taiwan conflict?
The Pentagon’s “Overmatch Brief”, a top-secret government document, discusses China’s ability to destroy American fighter jets, large ships and satellites. It also details the US military’s supply-chain weak points, NYT reported.An official told the publication that when a national security official received the classified document in 2021 during the Joe Biden administration, he became pale since he understood that “every trick we had up our sleeve, the Chinese had redundancy after redundancy.”
