Nope. Because all the hype and hysteria on Social Media is manufactured nonsense to get clicks for their podcast/web page etc.

You know why the most advanced Military in the world does not have hypersonics? Because back in the 1960s when the US screwed around with them they discovered a fatal draw back

You cannot maneuver them. They are great to fire at a land target but if you try to steer them, the physics of the forces involved destroys the rocket.

So from launch to impact the US Aegis system, on a moving target, has 100 seconds to intercept it with a whole host of anti missle technology at long, medium and short ranges.

The other flaw in this social media mything is the idea that the US Navy would have to operate close to the defense zone in a very limited territorial. Not true because it does not take into consideration the tanker capacity of the US Navy and Air Force.

The US Navy can launch a strike from quite a distance out and tanker up the planes both in bound and outbound

And finally, this all rest on the assumption that the US Navy operates in a bubble. Everyone seems to forget the Air assets that would be operating out of Japan, the Philippians and South Korea.

Hopefully you aren’t reading that nonsense from some navy document. Heaven help us if they believe it too.

I love this. First you tell me,
“To over whelm Aegis system around a Carrier task group you need to fire 24,000 highly accurate missiles. Air Defense systems only attack the missiles that are a threat to the defensed zone.”

Chicoms got that in spades. Now you’re basically telling me to forget what you just said, then proceed to lay that last gibberish on me. What gives?
