Has anyone else noticed that Western Liberal Armchair Generals seem to consistently just ignore hypersonic missile technology when they make proclamations about how a Great Power War would pan out?
Like it’s just not a thing to them. And there seems to be tacit agreement among themselves to not bring it up while they suck each other off about hypothetical wars.
But when you throw “hypersonic missile” into one of their circle jerks they all go flaccid and get really really angry with you. That’s how you know it’s a legit game changer.
Yes, US military is geared for that, the fact revealed by the ammunition and supply debacle in the Ukraine war.
Carriers are used for the good old gunboat diplomacy.
And it’s not only even hypersonic missiles that are danger to them. Quite long time ago Swedish navy proven during the NATO maneuvers that competently used non-nuclear submarine can sink the carrier too. There’s also strange coincidence between Iran proving they have working supercavitating torpedoes and USN reluctance to sail the carriers into Persian Gulf. Btw NATO still don’t have such torpedoes too while USSR had them since 1977.

It’s all about the holy aircraft carriers which are fucking dead when hypersonic missiles are involved.
honest question doesn’t aircraft carriers serves mostly to bully small and underdeveloped nations?
like, something that size and slow, seems like a easy target for any decent navy or air force
So much tacticool technology used by Burgerland is for bullying nations that can’t meaningfully fight back.
Fuckin A-10
Or AC-130 being even more in point, never deployed when the victims have any AA capability.

Don’t they cope about those torpedoes with “oh yeah well they’re unguided and therefore bad unlike glorious USN stuff”?
They are guided, idk where they get that they aren’t.
Just something I’ve read in Russian liberal press like a decade ago
Ah so the universal liberal source: their ass.
