“Ground/surface clutter reduces that quite a lot.”
Nope.
Why sink carriers? Just invite them back to Wuhan for the Military World Games and expose them to another Fauxi funded illegal gain-of-function bioweapon like 2019.
>> I cannot imagine the military leadership sitting on their asses, wringing their hands about how these smart Russians beat us.
Our military leadership are obsessed with climate change — our most important defense challenge don’t you know — and making sure that our military is “equitable” and is comprised, in great enough numbers, of every type of sexual whackadoo that has floated to the top of the cesspool. Doubt they have enough time and mental bandwidth left over for serious warfighting tasks.
“And the F-35s are generally kept below, lower down so their weight does not affect the carrier’s stability as much. F-35s on deck are literally transitory.”
How do they get the F-35 topsides?

Right, Russia has no energy or industry and they cannot make anything.
And we’re too busy sending our woke morons out to get the troops to run around in red high heels and take in poisonous jabs.
It’s deliberate - if you wanted to destroy the US, you couldn’t do a better job than our deep state left is doing right now. Including a LOT of republicans masquerading as Americans.
...on teams lead by CCP engineers and physics majors?
Obviously you have never been on a carrier during flight ops ...
LOL! Having been there for other purposes and witnessing their many examples of “high tech”, “superior infrastructure”, economy, etc., in this respect, you are close to right on!!
Simply swarm the incoming path of the hyper with several thousand drones carrying either explosives or steel bearings, and detonate when needed. Or send out two swarms, one that triggers impact before the second, which the second can precisely compute speed and direction of the arrival of the hyper and take out down.
Ok even at mach 2 it will take an hour for the missile to reach a target from 1,500 NM ( if they have that kind of range).

You only get one sneak attack per war.
I think this is the same concept as 'Rods from God'just less mass. I thought Rayteheon's EKV program was designed to take out hypersonic threats.
I don’t think China or Russia will have any trouble sinking our carriers should the need arise. It ain’t 1945 anymore.

Billy Mitchell demonstrated this was bs before half the crews on those two ships you refer to were even out of their diapers.
