"If all goes according to plan, sometime on Tuesday the military balance of power in the Pacific Ocean could tilt to America’s advantage. The U.S. Navy’s main warships, whose firepower now cannot match the range of Chinese missiles, could gain a new weapon that more than levels the playing field."

 

I thought it interesting that so much stupidity could be packed into two sentences.  Launching one test UCAV from a catapult does jack squat to the balance.  Furthermore it's ALREADY tilted to America's advantage.  Lastly, range of what Chinese missiles?  The ballistic antiship boogieman that has yet to demonstrate that it can even hit a target at sea, let alone a moving one? 

 

"By then the X-47B will be nearly 20 years old."

 

In 2019?  Really?  The X-47B rolled out in 2008.
