@no1marauder saidYour article gives absolutely no explanation at all as to how they can intercept such a fast moving missile. This reminds me of the propaganda saying Israel intercepted the vast majority of Iran's missiles which is complete BS.
As usual, you write like a nut and ignore anything that disproves your point.
The article I gave you showed that there already exist defenses against hypersonic missiles that are deployed on Aegis ships that escort carriers. Naturally, a military man testifying to Congress wanting more funds isn't going to downgrade the threat, but he clearly stated that fact.
Russi ...[text shortened]... and isn't going to respond to the Ukranian counter attack on Russian soil by starting a nuclear war,

Why do you think the USA has to back up Israel from an attack from Iran? The so called iron dome is worthless and they know it. You were lied to.

Engage? How?
It is hard enough to hit a speeding bullet with another speeding bullet. You are talking about something much faster. The only thing I can think of that can take out a hyper sonic nuke is another nuke. Do you disagree with that?

@Suzianne saidReally? Then why is our government still building nukes if MAD is real?
I can see you have no idea how many warheads the Navy can deploy.
Ever hear of MAD?
MAD is real, regardless of who strikes first.
Because we have the Goldilocks number of nukes. Just enough nukes to win a nuclear war without destroying the world.
That is why nukes that need replacement are replaced and never reduced.
Biden is doing that. Got a problem with it, complain to him.

@Metal-Brain saidYes, I do and so does the US military.

@no1marauder saidThen you can easily explain why it works then.
Yes, I do and so does the US military.
Or can you?
You evaded my question. You have a bad case of blind faith in our military. The same military that is the main cause of global warming.

Carbon caps for all people except the US military. Democrats are protecting the world's biggest carbon emitter. The US military is to be exempt from any carbon tax. That is what the democrats want. The Rockefellers started the global warming movement with their buddy Maurice Strong.
Big oil wants a carbon tax. They started the whole thing.
Just think of how much wars emit carbon. And you support sending free weapons to Ukraine. That means you support global warming, but you see no contradiction. Democrats do not notice contradictions.

@Metal-Brain saidActually both the US and Russia have greatly reduced the number of nuclear weapons since the end of the Cold War:

"In historical context, the number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined significantly since the Cold War: down from a peak of approximately 70,300 in 1986 to an estimated 12,100 in early-2024. "

There's a neat little graph right under that sentence.

The missile has to slow in its terminal phase and is then vulnerable to interception.
And what do you think Russia would gain even IF they could sink all our aircraft carriers with nuclear weapons? Aircraft carriers don't even carry nuclear weapons anymore and haven't for a long time. The US has ample means to obliterate Russia even without aircraft carriers.

@no1marauder saidBecause aircraft carriers are used to transport military might around the world, not for defense purposes.

Aircraft carriers are offensive weapons, not defensive.
They need to be destroyed.

So it is mere coincidence that John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan - swung the election of 1896 to Republican William McKinley and Cuba and the Philippines became US colonies during the age of imperialism?

@sonhouse said"Did you perhaps forget the reason we have atomic powered subs?"
@Metal-Brain
Oh, you thought the US navy leaders are so stupid they don't know the vulnerabilities of air craft carriers?
Did you perhaps forget the reason we have atomic powered subs?
And did you forget the part where your orange blob would be dictator actually showed on of those top secret docs to that Aussie billionaire about that one weapon, specifically talking to hi ...[text shortened]... did you get out of serving? Bone spurs like your would be dictator? Or was it just plain cowardice?
How are they going to protect an aircraft carrier? Explain.

@Metal-Brain
They are not meant to protect Aircraft carriers, they are there to tell our enemies even if you off an aircraft carrier you are not going to find our subs.
Unless they get ahold of the one Trump spouted off to that Aussie billionaire, about how close our subs can get to Russian Subs undetected......

@sonhouse saidSo you are dismissing our aircraft carrier's vulnerability because we have subs?

At least we can look at our aircraft carriers when they are at the bottom of the ocean with our subs. Are you going to invade Iran with subs? Defend Taiwan from China with subs? Fight WW3 with subs? Defend Israel with subs?
