A highly classified war game the United States Air Force (USAF) conducted in Fall 2020 ended with Chinese missiles pounding American bases while China invaded Taiwan, Yahoo News reported Wednesday.

The war simulation started with China mounting a biological attack against U.S. bases and warships in the Indo-Pacific regionYahoo News reported. China then used a military exercise as cover to invade Taiwan and launch missiles against U.S. bases and naval forces.

This simulation is one in a series of war games where the U.S. loses, according to Air Force Lt. Gen. S. Clinton Hinote.

“More than a decade ago, our war games indicated that the Chinese were doing a good job of investing in military capabilities that would make our preferred model of expeditionary warfare, where we push forces forward and operate out of relatively safe bases and sanctuaries, increasingly difficult,” Hinote told Yahoo News. (RELATED: Xi Jinping Tells Military To ‘Be Prepared,’ Citing ‘Unstable’ Security Issues)
