Now, bring this concept into a potential conflict between the US and China. China has ~200x the ship building capacity as the US.
In WWII it’s generally agreed that the NAZIs had better, more sophisticated weapons. The US and Soviets just built more which ended up being a winning strategy.
In both the Ukrainian and Iran theatres, mass produced cheaper drones have proven an effective strategy against sophisticated anti-air defenses.
My point is that in real conflicts it seems manufacturing quantity is more important than technological superiority. Today, the US boasts of its weapons superiority, but China’s manufacturing capacity far exceeds the US. If it really came to (non nuke flinging) war between the two, it seems China has the advantage.
Ngl that era was absolutely peak credibledefense
TL;DR ice cream and cake is unironically the most credible defense
faster than they can build a new pilot
Got too many concrete ships? Who wants some ice cream!
I can’t even build Legos
