And we have no other assets in the battlespace? Like a carrier, for example?

And all the F-16s and F-15s will have disappeared? Not to mention no F-35s available?

"And all the F-16s and F-15s will have disappeared? Not to mention no F-35s available?"

Perhaps they were engaging the rest of the Chinese air force, leaving the Sukhois for the F-22s. It's a war game, but it does highlight the growing Chinese air force and thus our growing need for more F-22s. Is the F-35 an urban myth or will it be operational any time soon?
