Because I am ex military I understand intercept times and I can calculate a missile time of flight. That dam is far inland not an easy target. It would be like the PLAN attacking a dam in CO.

Note:
The ChiComs will drain down the 3 Gorges reservoir prior to serious hostilities. In fact, if they start doing that then war is probable.

Thanks for pointing out the improbability of targeting Three Gorges Dam. Is there something else of China’s that would be a high priority target?

Long ago I had the opportunity to work with fiber optic gyros, which are far superior to the mechanical gyros we used for guidance during the Cold War. A few years later, I conducted an Internet search for white papers describing the fiber optic gyros, and was stunned to note that they were all from China.

I'm not so sure they can't target long distance and with great accuracy.
