Dazu ergänzend eine neue RAND Studie welche davon ausgeht, dass bereits ca 2017 herum ein Krieg um Taiwan mindestens 2/3 der US Luftstreitkräfte insgesamt benötigen würde um die Lufthoheit gegen die VR China dort zu behalten:

Key Findings

China's missile program is arguably the most active in the world and has provided the PLA with the ability to launch hundreds of ballistic and cruise missiles at air bases and other critical targets in Taiwan, Japan, or the Philippines. The PLA is also able to strike targets as distant as Guam with air-launched cruise missiles. In a conflict, these capabilities would challenge the U.S. ability to operate safely or efficiently from forward air bases and would have major spillover effects on other parts of the battle.
