Chinese develop anti aircraft carrier ballistic missile.

Theoretically this could be a devastating weapon. The big problem that I see in using Ballistic Missiles of this class for tactial strikes is that it makes nuclear escalation more likely. How is the US supposed to know that a particular DF-21 is carrying a non-nuclear payload? I suppose you could wait till the thing goes off, but that's not how nuclear deterrence is supposed to work.

If that’s a DU troll post, we need more like him/her.

Cruise missile capabilities are well-known, but can someone tell me how a (conventionally-armed) ballistic missile could possibly hit a rapidly moving aircraft carrier?

The carrier can only manuever a certain amount in a given period of time.

I suspect the intent is to fire the missles in salvos and bracket the ship.

Thank the Clinton administration for giving the Chinese sophisticated missile tracking technology.

[RC one]

If you say so.

Possible ChiCom Troll sighting at #9

Ok, I'm confused. What is it about that post or what is said in in that classifies the poster as a troll? Other than maybe spelling and grammar, what do you disagree with?

[Jim Noble]

I have always thought ballistic missiles would be the Achilles heel of the supercarrier.

In a real war, they would be attacked with nukes delivered by suborbital projectiles.

To wtc911:

please dont use such name calling on this site. I dont like being called an idiot, troll, child nor weasel.

You have been reported to the site managers.

I think you owe me and the other fine posters here an apology. your use of name calling and personnel attacks is not acceptable here.
If you dont apologize, i’ll ask the managers here to ban you from posting, you have clearly broken the rules here

try to stay on subject, if you object to what I or other post, come up with a good counter argument,your name calling is childish, and does nothing to help your cause, what ever that may be.

again I state that the US needs a strong missile defensive system. Be it airborne laser defense, ship borne anti-missile missiles or other technologies.
because we have been lacking in developing these defenses we are in danger. because we sold out to the chicoms with granting them free trade, and given them high tech knowledge, we have caused them to be a big threat. That threat needs to be neutralized.

China is not to be trusted.

Name calling posters are not post.

I am awaiting the apology from wtc911.

[dhm914]

whats your probelm RC one???? I advocate a strong defense and you call me a DU troll? what the heck is that??? I dont like the way it sounds. I think you owe an apolgy. In fact why do you even post on this pro-America site if you dont like my post that states we need to better secure our carriers aginst commie ballistic missles?

care to explain that DU troll thing to me, or will your remain a rabid anti-strong defense nut job???

[dhm914]

ok virgina ridge runner, what in my post makes me a chicom troll? I am not even sure what that term means, but I dont like the context of it.

So what specifically in my Pro_American defense post was so upsetting to you to have me be labled as a chicom troll?????

you got a brain dont you, so post it, what is wrong with my post????

here we got three posters that have called me names, and/or reported me for my por-american post.

I am thinking we got a bunch or anti-defense liberal posters here today.

[AppyPappy]

Not if it takes 12 minutes to get there

[dhm914]

Thank you. maybe now the likes of wtc911 and virgina runner will go away back to liberal land.

Hey, noob...

You've posted a total of 222 threads and 10,592 replies.

You're protesting way too much. Makes me think even more that you're a new ChiCom troll, based on your sign-up date and iffy English in your posts.

[WVKayaker]

Quite a welcome for newbies. Make them into trolls by insinuation, and ridicule their poor typing. That really makes new folk want to participate, NOT!

Give a break. When he (they) promotes China, be alarmed!

[dhm914]

To virgina ridge runner: you are posting name calling (noob????) and you just cant articulate what you object to in my original post.

now for you it is coming down to how many posts I have or my date of sign up?? what is with that?

does my date of sign up have any signicance??? please explain that??? are you a numeralogist?

You rather large number of posts, is no doubt made of onliner insults and name calling.

so stop the name calling, and please state what you find bad in my post???? where do you disagree with my post??

we need quality logical posts here, not this name calling that you and two others have started doing in responce to my post. i took the time and answered a posters question about carrier speed (about 50 mph) and gave my opinion that we need to beef up our missle defense. The airborne laser defense is neat technology, as is our antimissle missle system. we need more of that stuff.

so what do you not agree with virgina ridge runner????? (and try to keep the name calling out of your reply, please)

a await a civil discussion on the missle defense systems for our navy.
