The news that a Sunburn was defeated must have the Kremlin and Chinese groaning and crawling in their holes. This is supposedly their best shot at defeating the US Navy. The first time it is tried it fails.

I fully suspect Navy countermeasures defeated it. Navy 1, Axis of Evil 0.

The Sunburn was not defeated. We did not hit it. I suspect it was just a stupid missile to use in this scenario. It is anti-ship, not anti-tank. It is not an area weapon, unless equipped with the 200 ton nuclear warhead.

I fear that we will see the missile actually used the way it is supposed to be used over water against US ships. Then it will be very difficult to counter.

I hear it has the nickname of "Aegis killer."

Yeah, the Aegis vessel must die laughing...
