Why hypersonic weapons change everything (They can sink ALL of the U.S. aircraft carriers, all at once)

When it comes to all matters military, I have been following a handful of analysts among whom Croatian Admiral Davorin Domazet (retired) emerged as perhaps my favorite. He has deep and detailed command of technical matters (like Andreiy Martyanov he insists that you can’t prevail in modern warfare without deep knowledge of of advanced mathematics and probability). More importantly, he has perhaps the clearest understanding of the broad historical context of today’s clash between Russia and the western powers.

Not this crap again.

The navy has no laser missile defense.

[doorgunner69]

So, you turn the missile into a huge cloud of buckshot.

Going to suck being in the path of that.

[OKSooner]

Well put it back on then.

A moving foxhole attracts the eye: on both sides.

Yeh, well, it requires more than 1945 thinking, as well. A hyper coming in to a target has a weakness. Speed!! Coming in so fast, that any deviation needed to hit that target becomes a weakness. Yes, if the target has no idea of the incoming, they are toast. But those targets that can react, can either move, or impede the path of the missile in so many ways.

And virtually nobody of importance paid attention before December 1941.

The MIC was all invested in battleships uber alles.

Like hypersonics and CVNs today.

[Travis McGee]

Our epitaph.

[CodeToad]

You wouldn’t even need to explain it to the future anthropologists.

[SgtHooper]

An excellent discussion of this tech.

...on teams lead by CCP engineers and physics majors?

And funded by American consumers thanks to the free traitors.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

That is, the CCP’s R&D is funded by American consumers thanks to the free traitors.

“Yeh, well, it requires more than 1945 thinking, as well. A hyper coming in to a target has a weakness. Speed!!“

Not sure that their having a weakness really changes anything. Fire off a few hundred of them. Quantity has a quality all its own as the man said. I think our entire fleet of carriers is history the same minute Russia or China have a reason. They are floating Anachronisms.

SA went to the liberal side years go. They are run by a screeching left-wing lunatic. Most of their material is 3rd grade level old nonsense.

[Travis McGee]

Most folks won’t get it until it hits them in the head.

[CodeToad]

lol. Mean, but so damned accurate.

[doorgunner69]

Stopped reading SA decades ago, too many social-whatever articles.

Same with National Geographic.

[CodeToad]

I had to cancel NG back around 2000 because of the liberal articles and less discovery materials.

[doorgunner69]

Yeah, became National Sociographic.

Still have a few treasured months like the Mt St Helens eruption isue.

"He has correctly labelled humanity’s enemy as the “western occult oligarchy,” and has even called the war in Ukraine as the clash between Christ and anti-Christ, underlining that the anti-Christ is in the west."

Therefore, according to that nutjob, Christ must be in russia, which has the highest abortion rate in the world, is one of the most corrupted countries in the world, is the major producer of porn, including homo and other nasty stuff, and is operating the whole military component made of murderers, rapists and pedophiles.

"However, today's ABM systems are only effective against missiles flying at speeds up to mach 3.5 (3.5 x the speed of sound)."

Utter nonsense. Even V2 was reaching Mach 5.

"During the war in Ukraine, Russia staged a stunning demonstration of its power."

Stronk as feck !
