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?

Of interest ping!

Report: Chinese Develop Special "Kill Weapon" to Destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers

[JoeProBono]

[Wuli]

Great news, particularly coming on the day that Gates, the defense secretary, is about to tell us all the weapons systems programs he wants to end or cut back, in line with the blind belief that “asymmetric”wars like Afghanistan are all we need worry about.

[stylin_geek]

Okay, so, is this a ballistic missile or a cruise missile variant?

If this thing is nothing more than some sort of ballistic JDAM, I would think that once it reaches apogee, there is a limit to the radius of the kill zone it can be guided into.

Something moving at Mach 10 doesn’t change direction very well.

[Logical me]

Here is the answer. One downed carrier and one downed China.

[The Great RJ]

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

[Centurion2000]

Just have the US put out a nice warning. You launch a ballistic missile at a carrier or strategic asset, we assume it’s a nuke and respond accordingly

[Carry_Okie]

Thank you Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and so many other globalist RINOs.

Dropping an asteroid on ‘em would pretty much fix all these problems.

Smaller ‘roids would fix each of the 56 or 57 Muzzie states.

[redgolum]

Possible. Though popping one of these off at a CBG would start a nuclear war. There is no way to know if they are a nuke or not.

But as a previous poster said, carriers are big expensive targets. So much so that in a real war they might not be as effective as planned. They are to expensive and big to loose, so I doubt we would risk committing them to an area were the risk was high.

Gates is now nothing more than a Puppet for his Marxist Boss the “0”. He (The Zero) wants an end to American Military dominance. To rid the U.S. of all new weapons systems, an try to end our nuclear programs. If China continues on this path, they are doing nothing but readying a take over of Taiwan . What better time than with a Zero in the White House ?

[tgbhu]

It's not a very advanced missile tech.


DF-21


Yellow range is 2000 KM.


I'm Chinese, if wtc911 said some dirty words and he is a Chinese too, I apologize to you for his offence, terrorist is shit.
