you beat me to it.
if true, USA is ed. This reminds me of when you play Civ4 and you have tons of knight units ready to attack an opponent and he discovers gunpowder.
US carriers to be obsolete

Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balance

I don't think we are allowed to post AP articles. ST might get sued if we do. That's why I put the link.
Yeah this is definitely a game changer. It's a good thing we aren't investing r&d into silly things like missile shields. I wonder how long the DOD knew about this?
so why cant we get out of iraq/afghan and use some of that money to start investing in our military tech again? not that they arent investing anyway
China could get their money spent back selling this to Iran, Algeria, etc...
is anyone surprised by an improvement over the exocet?
An improvement over a missile that is what - 3 decades old?
Never.
Invade China, IMO.
no . another article for the knuckledraggers to feel the red scare.
Correction. Ask China for another loan, then invade them.
that's one big dong
that reminds me of the guy from sopranos that borrowed money from the gay mobster.
invade china is like saying invade Mars.
impossible even if we wanted.
In any event, its not about a missiles speed or a missile's range or blah blah blah. Its about how is that missile going to reliably track a US carrier group in a wartime situation. C cubed is where we smash the out of every other nation out there and its the reason for our military advantage.
Only because we have a democrat in office.
nope. Even if we had Hitler in command. Still impossible.
Good luck trying to sink an aircraft carrier especially with experimental Chinese missile tech. With satellites above and the US waging war across the world we should also be able to track those sites and its not like carriers are sent alone - they're in huge groups with defenses like anti-missile capabilities from the carrier itself and ships like Aegis cruisers that also regularly prepare for such attacks. Then there's the US submarines that can slip in unnoticed with missiles primed in the event of a carrier attack. Not to mention the US stealth aircraft available, spec-ops, etc.
the Chi-Coms are our allie. They would never wage war on us or our allies. They would definitely never invade and suppress groups of people or kill millions of their citizens. We should just assume that we will always be allies with them.
ain't that what lasers are for?
I see what you did there.
I'm glad the federal government owes the ChiComs what, a trillion?
Last I heard about 800 Billion, but whats a few billion among friends?I'm glad the federal government owes the ChiComs what, a trillion?
Maybe if we ask nicely the Chinese will bankroll another stimulus package for us.I'm glad the federal government owes the ChiComs what, a trillion?
Rejmember, it's very hard to his a missile with a missile, and liberals never like that technology.
The way to sink a carrier is by submarine, with a torpedo using cavitation, and a large enough explosion several hundred feet below the carrier.
Missile is a good choice too, but more expensive for close distances, or where they don't have a submarine nearby.
um...didn't FDR/truman take down the whole ing world?
