China's satellites (Jilin-1, etc.) can essentially track things across the world in seconds versus minutes (i.e. it can follow a plane, or car on the street in real-time). So I'm guessing "radio silence" does not affect much locational opsec at this point.

- dralley 2y agoThey're ahead in very specific ways, mostly where there's no commercial activity that would justify the expense of investing in that area. e.g. extremely high resolution imaging satellites.
- Havoc 2y agoI would imagine that the location of carrier groups is basically known at all times to serious adversaries, regardless of emissions. They're not exactly small and if you're doing it right they don't dive underwater.
