Littoral Regiments to operate within the enemies engagement range? You better factor in Chinese Fast Attack Missile Boats!

The vessel was just 90 nautical miles from the Philippine mainland when the #Chinese missile boats began pursuit.https://t.co/NJdvGusk7Y pic.twitter.com/hKdZtlQXRo

Forgot all about these puppies.

If I recall correctly (too lazy to look it up right now...gotta get back to WOT), they have about 100 of them.

If you're gonna fight in the first island chain then you better expect for these to be zooming all over the place along with attack helicopters, maritime patrol aircraft, Chinese Coast Guard Cutters (a couple of which are Cruiser size...even bigger than Burke's), UAVs (both armed and recon variants or both), sats and of course the mark 1 eyeballs attached to all those fishing boats they'll utilize.

Just getting ashore will be a minor victory.  Short lived though it'll be.
