Summary: Brandon J. Weichert argues the US has no way to get close to China without facing China’s large anti-access/area-denial network. He cites DF-26 anti-ship ballistic missiles, stealth fighters, and mass-produced missiles, hypersonic weapons, and drone swarms that could stymie US advances into the First Island Chain.
WHO: Brandon J. Weichert
WHAT: Weichert argues China’s A2/AD network negates the US ability to fight into the First Island Chain.
WHEN: Sep 27, 2026 at 7:43 AM ET
WHERE: China
WHY: The argument is that China’s extensive anti-access/area-denial capabilities would prevent US forces from getting close to China and advancing into the First Island Chain.
