We can deploy China sinking missiles...............

China deploying carrier-sinking missile

Bought and paid for by our debt to China.

[katana]

Sink a carrier and we incinerate your five largest populated cities. The Russians would stand back and (quietly) applaud.

[jazusamo]

It’s not reassuring that Obama weakens our military and crams through START while China is aggressively building theirs.

[edcoil]

Like a sub-roc or as-roc? We have had for years. There is no need to destroy a carrier, we have other tools to simply stop it in the water so it cannot perform flight ops.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Nobody is going to use a carrier against China.

More likely Guam, Alaska and the mainland U.S.

Ships at sea are obsolete in today’s major power warfare except after the opposing major power has been strategically crippled and blinded.

[Carbonsteel]

Please. This administration wouldn't use nukes if the whole of New York was vaporized.

Besides, at the rate the Obama administration is cutting out military, it won't be long before China won't have any use for these missiles.

[jazusamo]

I wonder what Clinton’s price was for selling out our country?

[DonaldC]

“Bought and paid for by our debt to China. “

Yep, that we would ever seriously stand up to China is crazy..between debt we owe and manufacturing we have moved there.

[The Comedian]

Here's that Asian/Attack/Ship(stripe) Lookingglass hit again.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[SC_Pete]

Lest we ever forget. The SLIME that was the Clinton Administration.

[Steve Van Doorn]

Why do we have trade relations with a country that considers us their enemy?

If the French or British ever made weapons specifically designed for us how would we react to it?

[GonzoGOP]

China's testing has not gone as far as a live-fire test

Something this new and it hasn't had a live fire test. Hardly operational. When dealing with something as complex as a missile simulations will only get you so far. And you don't want to be shooting a prototype at something that is likely to be shooting back if your missile is a dud.

Also could the SM-3 ABM be used against these things?

[RexBeach]

What about boomers?

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

If this “administration” failed to respond, it would be rather quickly replaced.

Obama cannot do everything he would like to do to sell us out.

An interesting thing about trying to hit an aircraft carrier”

Obviously, in order to hit the carrier, you must know exactly where it is. If it’s 200 miles out, how do you get a radar fist and, more importantly, of the 30 odd ships out there, which one is the aircraft carrier?

For over 30 years, the ships in the aircraft carrier group have had the capability to mess with radar signals to make it appear that something else is the carrier. I knew some midshipmen who bragged about these technologies over 30 years ago. I can’t help that believe that, in the interim, these capabilities have been dramatically improved.

Where oh where would the Chicoms get this missile technology :(
