What about American ships?
We need fricken sharks with lasers attached to counter this!
BFD. More socialist scum slagging Russia for being innovative.
The USA and Russia need to work together and wipe out the filthy, democrat socialist filth polluting our world with welfare soaking scum and islam.
Way late.China has had this for 5 years!1 While we fiddle, our country is wide open to annihilation. CHINA HAS THIS MISSILE!! WHAT ARE WE DOING?
LOL!
A tethered drone 200 yards off a ship with a claymore on it would destroy the million dollar missile for a couple hundred bucks.
Wouldn’t be enough overblast left to give the deck a good dusting.
Unstoppable is just like unsinkable.
What happens to a hyper-missle when it hits severe turbulence say like an explosion’s wave front?
Just use your Super ZOT Laser Ray 2400 traveling at the speed of light and satellite guided. Can track, fire and ZOT 2400 missiles per second from a network of 100 secret sun-powered satellites or optionally from our fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.
Oops, was I not supposed to let that out?
If it smells like a rino, it’s a rino
We had a good run.
I know Raytheon and a few military contractors have been developing land based anti-missile programs. But a lot of the technology has been moved to Israel where they develop them further and more to the point actually use them in defense of the country from Hamas and Hezblah.
I am not sure if these defense systems send rockets at that speed but a defensive system should be able to track the direction of an incoming missile with radar and send an anti-missile rocket to intercept. Israel has the Iron Dome system and is now rolling out David's Sling.
Aircraft carriers are for asymmetrical warfare. There are a few countries that might take on The USA, and might take out some aircraft carriers, but they would pay dearly — it would evoke an effective response from The USA — whatever it took — nuclear if need be. Don’t mess with our aircraft carriers.
Come on. What is the range of the missile and what is the launch system? If it is sub launched the solution is to keep enemy subs away from the CVBG. No subs, no missile.
And the Titanic was unsinkable, too.
The real threat is that these supersonic missiles could have election-hacking warheads.
——The missile flies more than twice the speed of a sniper’s bullet and is almost impossible to stop.——
A snipers bullet?
I will admit not to be a expert...but a sniper bullet is normally a FMJ and that’s the biggest difference between a civilian round...
What does speed of the bullet have to do with it?
Oh dear, oh dear, what could possibly stop this magic Russian missile?
A one half inch depleted uranium ball round.
Think grape shot.
A shock wave of sufficient density to either:
Turn the missile slightly sideways at 4600 mph to cause body failure from resultant extreme stresses.
A shock wave of sufficient density to destroy the missile as it hits the shock wave.
A shock wave which would blow out the ramjet.
There are other solutions involving lasers that I won’t bother with.
Ivan loves to brag.
Time will tell.
And just how many of those do they have in service?
That’s correct. Zero.
