Blah blah.
Like Mike Tysen used to say “everyone’s got a plan until they get hit”.
It seems IMPOSSIBLE that not ONE US navy ship was severely damaged or sunk by THOUSANDS of missiles and drones thrown at them by the Houthis and whomever else the past several years.
No way would Chinese vessels have intercepted what seems like EVERY SINGLE ONE.
We fried a lot of them with some weapon I can’t even understand!
Yes, I know...DEI messed with the military.
It didn’t mess with the insane innovation and leaps in technology of our military assets.
People just like to b..tch a lot.
China would never know what hit it.
I truly believe that a naval war would leave the Chinese fleet at the bottom of the ocean with far fewer US losses.
What is the order of countries that were supposed to DEVASTATE us with their new technology, faster and smaller ships, superior numbers...etc. etc.?
Russia. Iran. China. Some even said ISIS was fast and furiuos and hit too fast and hid too well.
Russia can’t beat ukraine!! In over 2 years!!
Iran’s still a joke...as Israel has proven.
NK’s forces aren’t turning out to be too impressive in Russia-Ukraine war.
What has China actually demonstated in the face of a real attack recently?
Nothing.
My impression is the vast majority of launches by Houthis targeted cargo vessels and tankers. The US Navy was intercepting those, and sometimes when the flight path was aimed beyond the Navy ship, they could claim to be targeted.
So no reported hits would not be surprising, even without super duper intercept mechanisms.
