\"P-8<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The Washington Times<\/a> reports that the Pentagon has sent the first of six sub-hunting P-8 Poseidon patrol craft to its airbase at Okinawa near the East China Sea, ostensibly to patrol over the waters that were brought into the China’s unilaterally declared area of influence;<\/p>\n

President Obama, in response to the declaration, flew in two B-52 bombers into the so-called off-limits air space \u2014 a strong message that the United States would not abide China\u2019s terms of designation. But Mr. Obama also said that U.S. businesses would obey China\u2019s air zone declaration, and refrain from flying private craft into the zone without Beijing\u2019s permission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure which came first the chicken or the egg, neither do know whether this administration caused this confrontation by announcing a few months ago that they were shifting their focus to the Pacific Rim or if they actually arrived at the conclusion that the area would become a problem in advance of their shifted focus.<\/p>\n

Boeing<\/a> says of it’s P-8A;<\/p>\n

The P-8A Poseidon is a long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. It possesses an advanced mission system that ensures maximum interoperability in the future battle space. Capable of broad-area maritime, and littoral operations, the P-8A will influence how the U.S. Navy’s maritime patrol and reconnaissance forces train, operate and deploy.<\/p>\n

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide<\/p>\n

The P-8A Poseidon is a true multi-mission platform. On board P-8A, all sensors contribute to a single fused tactical situation display, which is then shared over both military standard and internet protocol data links, allowing for seamless delivery of information amongst U.S. and coalition forces. As an armed platform, P-8A independently closes the kill chain, while simultaneously providing data to everyone on the network.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
