Well, I wrote my scenario and in it I found 8 "if"s and then thought - hey this is unrealistic
Would USSR have been able to successfully attack a decent (~10000 sq mi) sized pacific island, > 400 miles from the continent - if need be?
Assume US to be protecting with 1-2 CVGs, with atleast 2 brigades on the land and only a max of 10-15 land based aircrafts.
My guess was no.
This sums up, what I specifically wanted to know about their capabilities.
The analogy was- cuba a landmass of 50k sqkm, with USSR navy protecting it but has only minimum number of fighter planes in cuba, but with decent ground troops of cuba itself.

We would need some sort of staging ground to amass the necessary ground forces.

would a d-day type of landing, with probably taiwan(in the worst case japan) as the massing ground be possible?
