Any attack using “thousands” of weapons is not likely to bring “precision” to mind, rather it brings up images of carpet bombing or “blanketing” areas with suppressive bombing strikes. It could be called a massive preparation for attack, a decided and visible effort to intimidate or simply challenge a U.S. Navy ship transit through disputed areas in the South China Sea, but whatever it is called, Chinese ... read more
