Crimson Sea Protocol – Combat Flight Operations from CV-18 Fujian

Image
In an era where naval air power defines the boundaries of maritime dominance, China's Type 003 aircraft carrier, the Fujian (CV-18), marks a transformational leap in the People’s Liberation Army Navy's (PLAN) ability to project force beyond coastal waters. With its electromagnetic catapult launch system (EMALS), an expanded flight deck, and the integration of fifth-generation aircraft, Fujian is not just a symbol of China’s naval ambition—it is a fully capable floating fortress. The Crimson Sea Protocol, a codename given to a fictional but technically grounded combat operation conducted from Fujian, offers an immersive glimpse into the complex world of air traffic control, electronic warfare, multi-aircraft coordination, and high-stakes flight deck operations under real-world combat conditions. Set in the tense geopolitical waters of the South China Sea, the protocol exemplifies how cutting-edge systems, strategic doctrine, and human precision converge in modern naval warfare. ...

Ghost in the Eastern Skies – A Testament to Strategic Stealth and Precision

Image
In the ever-evolving theatre of 21st-century warfare, dominance is not always dictated by who fires first—but by who remains unseen. As the Indo-Pacific becomes a crucible of great power rivalry, particularly between the United States and China, the strategic utility of stealth, stand-off capability, and electronic warfare has become paramount. Nowhere is this more evident than in the combat simulation titled “Ghost in the Eastern Skies,” a meticulously orchestrated strike mission involving the U.S. Air Force’s B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Designed to test deep-penetration strike capabilities against China’s fortified military infrastructure in a high-threat A2/AD environment, this simulation exemplifies the enduring relevance of stealth bombers in the age of advanced radar, hypersonics, and contested airspace. The operation offers not just a narrative of tactical excellence, but a reflection of evolving strategic doctrine in an increasingly multipolar world. 1. Shadow Confli...

Shadows Over the Dragon’s Teeth: A Strategic Simulation of the B-2 Spirit in Contested Airspace

Image
As great power competition intensifies in the Indo-Pacific, military simulations have become essential tools for understanding strategic capability and deterrence dynamics. The United States, facing an increasingly assertive China, continues to refine its doctrine for deep-penetration, low-observable precision strike missions. Among its most formidable assets is the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, a stealth bomber designed to infiltrate advanced enemy defenses and deliver devastating stand-off or direct strikes on critical infrastructure. The simulation known as “Shadows Over the Dragon’s Teeth” presents a vivid scenario where U.S. B-2 bombers conduct a precision strike against fortified Chinese positions in the South China Sea. Using real-world tactics, integrated sensor data, and modern weapons systems, this exercise reflects not only technical feasibility but also the evolving strategic doctrine required to maintain air superiority in a highly contested environment. 1.
