| Lets suppose for this discussion that the PRC was able to clone some of the technologies behind the F-117 from data theft and materials recovered from Serbia in the 1990's. After nearly a decade of effort and in total secrecy they developed their own Stealth Fighter Bomber. Not quite an F-22/35 or even PAK-FA but something that had about a 1000nm combat radius, flew on indigenous engines that cruise at high subsonic speeds and could dash to M1.3-1.4 in reheat and was about the size and had payload of an F-111 with an RCS of about .01 sqm. This H-8 has the ability to employ defensive air to air and nuclear weapons and was operational in squadron strength when announced. Lets say they had 24.
a. How do you think this would change things in the PACRIM and beyond?
b. How would Taiwan, Japan, SKorea, Singapore and Australia view this?
c. Would it be destabilizing?
