Aircraft Carriers Obsolete?

So China has hypersonic cruise missiles now which can’t be stopped by conventional missile defense. Are US aircraft carriers just a massive waste of money now? I feel like we’d be better served by a massive submarine fleet

Thank people like Mr Cancer Head for the deplorable state of the us military. Any old buttfuckistan can now deploy asymmetrical responses to the trillion dollar graft machine known as the us war industry. Hell, even Syria pegged an Israeli f-35 with an obsolete soviet missile.

When you deal with chinks and russians...

If they braggin they don't have it.

>implying DARPA doesn't have advanced long range EMP and energy weapons that will stop anything at the speed of light (not to mention antimatter bombs)

Until a carrier is sunk, they are still the dominant tool to project power in the world.

Also per US militray doctrine, sinking a carrier is worthy of a nuclear strike in response.

That's it I'm pulling the trigger, this thread will now die.

You neocon retard kiddies are just mad at Obama because he was the first president in decades to actually push back at Israeli control of US foreign policy. Of course he didn't completely cut it but he made significant first steps. Now your ultimate good goy orange boomer is in to undo those steps and make sure it never happens again and you rub your dried out half numb willies in joy at that. remove yourselves from this earth.

yeah, or you don't understand the term "nuance" and don't realize there's multiple criminal groups at play in the US government.

jesus christ, do you think the Earth rotates around the Sun and the Sun rotates around Israel?

>Aircraft Carriers Obsolete?
Not for another two decades or so but they are on their way to obsolescence. Thats generally true for all weapons in time.

China has nothing. There is a ways to go before they have deployable capability and then more before they have the numbers to prove a threat.

The biggest problem for these weapons is going to be targeting. Finding and targeting an US aircraft carrier in wartime conditions is not an easy thing.

Further challenges remain for them in that launchers are vulnerable to being attacked prior to detecting and destroying a carrier. They would be a priority target when they materialize as a threat.

USA has railguns and "rods from god"

Bullshit. I do not believe the Chinese have any decent shit.

China's "new" aircraft carrier is less advanced than the Forrestal-class from the '50s, lol

they've been obsolete for decades as far as a real war between powerful countries goes

for force projection in proxy wars with meme countries they're still useful

>Cancelled the Iran deal.

i cant believe to this day europeans are still defending that shitty deal, knowing for a fact that their globalist leaders all support it, literally taking the side of merkel and macron and mogherini, and still thinking it's based and awesome that all the major jews in their countries like this deal

is it something in euros blood to want to give money to muslims and hope they don't chimp out? is it something in euros blood to see a contract with non-binding clauses that iran doesnt have to follow whatsoever after they expire in 15 years, and think "wow that'll definitely work?" or is it just ignorance?

the rest of your post is utter trash but it still continues to defy expectation that so-called european fascists, natsocs and jew haters all suddenly want to suck EUrocrat globalist dick because of their pet muslims

Hypersonic interceptors bruh.

4.5 km/s (Mach 15.25) Block IIA[3]

It is just a training platform. They need to develop an understanding of carrier operations. So their carrier is really just training wheels.

this works when you get your phone spammed by mandarin robocalls at exact 10 min intervals nonstop, it literally nukes them across multiple numbers and shuts down their VOIP botnet

>role play about a weapon that no one has ever seen and only some chinks have talked about

This is like saying N. Korea has nuclear capabilities.

carriers are there for the soul purpose of us hoping china or iran attacks one, it's a giant floating pearl harbor event that can be triggered at any time to be shifted blame upon and produce glorious money generating war. launching aircraft is their secondary function

At some point having hypersonic missile capable or reaching the other side of the globe in minutes will negate the need for carriers completely. Why bother with a massive and overly expensive battlegroup when forward observers can call in strikes from the US mainland?

Carriers will never be obsolete you subhuman retard they are used to project power in trading lanes around the globe.

Technology is a lot more advanced than you think. There is a fine line between advanced technology and magic, but a line nonetheless. There is the physical, and then the spiritual. The mundane, and the divine.

Impressive.

With this most recent achievement, fate has in a single stroke, marked the decline of the west and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the Chinese dragon, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of western powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. With the blessings of Chinese quantum direct-current electricity, quantum aircraft carriers and quantum enhanced railguns will be the instruments with which China affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers the non-western world a different option; an humanist alternative to the depredations of Western leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multilateralism.

I thought Russia had the hypersonic stuff and China the quantum?
What is up with this yurotards getting their pussies so wet for sandniggers?

They've been irrelevant in a real war since forever, by the time early aegis existed the 2nd world was capable of volley fire to overwhelm it.
Carriers exist to beat up on losers.

reminder that all ICBM's are hypersonic and almost impossible to shoot down

Shut the fuck up you stupid retard.

Drone torpedo's are worse.

Nice pasta.

Submersible aircraft carriers are on the docket.

5 year old news

>So China has hypersonic cruise missiles now
So do we. The point of air craft carriers is to deliver force on less developed, belligerent nations.
kys retard.

Before slaughtering kikes like my countrymen did in the WW2, I think we should literally do burn offerings with you zionist goys. You are the worst and deserve being plugged on feeder tubes so you're kept alive for couple of decades - while being tortured daily.

Chinas brand new Aircraft Carrier was too short to land their premium seaborne fighters.
After the (diesel powered) engines fucked out on its maiden voyage they realized this.

I wouldnt worry about hypersonic missiles, they cant even make a boat properly (or the infrastructure to support it, always rushed and poor quality, from fuel to steel). Also you cunts are the masters of war, Chinks are shit, the blokes all act like women (even the soldiers) and crack under the smallest amount of pressure if conventional tactics cant be used.

This entire thread is a shitpost. A low quality one at that. Deal with it accordingly.

You fucking goy slave faggot.

Didn't George W build a missile defense or something?

If they were obsolete, we’d just have asstons more icbm’s in like Iowa or something, and we’d of had them way before the chinese ever did.
Missiles to my understanding can’t change action/target nor recon like planes or drones can, anyway. They can’t be loitering in the area ready for rapid response to a strike request or offer ongoing support either. Hypersonic or not.

>Not realizing that an aircraft carrier is a footing military base

Lol just cuz America didn’t go “we can stop those” doesn’t mean we can’t

People die in war.

The fact that weapons aren't invulnerable doesn't make them useless. Yes, some aircraft carriers will probably be sunk and yes, most of their crew will probably die. That's what happens during a war with anyone other than sandniggers.

I don't know why you expect to be able to beat China without a fight.

Do you think pic related has a punisher shirt?

Hypersonic weapons are stupid simple. It’s basicall a mini space shuttle that 9/11s your target. Any country with a half decent space program can build one easily

Spaceships will look like sex toys confirmed.

Neither confirm nor deny

No one expects zero loss of life, stop putting words in peoples mouths or Ill put my 12 inch white schlong into yours, chink.
Chinks are effeminate and as I said fear non conventional warfare.
Chink quality is shit, even their avgas is the worst quality in the world.

Zerg rush is the only option, good luck trying that with modern weapons

Imagine being this arrogant.

Underestimate your enemies at your own peril you drooling redneck sub-humans. Pride comes before the fall.

Think of ways counter your enemies strengths and ways to make yourself stronger, don't deny that they are strong.

You don't win wars by underestimating your enemy.

Proper translation is 六四屠杀

>hypersonic
>ship moves to closer to the direction the missile came from
>material strength needs to withstand the new forces being generated from sudden changes of direction
hitting a stationary target is different from a moving one

>hypersonic missile on cities
all of those targets are easy to monitor and you can be damn sure all the missile launch sites are already known

And you dont talk up a hypersonic missile when you cant even make an aircraft carrier properly.

If they are announcing they have them, I doubt they actually have them. The most effective use of these missiles would be a sneak attack on most/all carriers at the same time. Let’s say they sink a carrier, even ignoring nukes, it’s possible to dry dock the rest and still pummel China mercilessly with midair refueling capable air craft.

The fall of US to number 2 position is going to cause the saltiest tsunami in history.

I cant wait.

They can just turn off the lights and turn the damn boat useless without killing a single sailor.

aircraft carriers have been obsolete bullshit since the 20th century

We only buy them because (((the military industry complex))) sells them to us

>lords of war versus Nanking Jap fleshlights and punching bags genetically mutated from eating plastic
I sure hope that gutter oil has some good shit in it

Troops calling CAS need bombs on the ground near them right now, not 15 minutes from now when non-nuclear ICBM arrives. Missiles like this aren't particularly cheap either, the carries group costs a lot but the individual bombs are cheap and plentiful. There's also the issue of Russia and China freaking the fuck out if they see what looks like ICBM launches.

All US research on hypervelocity missiles was """leaked""" to the chinese through people like hillary or mccain.

The US lost the war before it even started because traitor politicians sold the country out from under the american people.

china has to get its shit together and fast then

xi announcing that he needs full loyalty of the pla should be ringing alarm bells, it means theres something wrong

>the USA has halted its place in the global arms race

wew lad

These missiles don't look like ICBM launches beacuse they don't leave the atmosphere.

Again, hypersonic missiles are pretty easy. It’s literally just a stripped down space shuttle that you intentionally crash into your target

kek yeah fight those zionists the eurocrats are your friends the ones bleeding your country dry and importing the Muslims yeah they're gonna help you btfo the kikes lmao

you euros man you're some special kind of stupid, downs syndrome level retardation thinking people like merkel are your allies

China's government has never even had a successful military operation that projected beyond it's borders. Besides attacking Tibet, Vietnam, and India, China has never done anything like pic related
>operation just cause
>airial invasion of panama
>28,000 air delivered troops take over a country within 48 hours

China may well get the chance, after one of their African colonies inevitably nationalizes some Chinese company, or fails to repay debt. But that's like 19th Century shit for the West.

A hypersonic missile that will get halfway around the globe will for damned sure leave the atmosphere unless it's going to be the size of a Saturn V.

This.

It's just an excuse to funnel money away from necessary shit and avoid any real progress. Borrowed time anons

Except it won't be to China. It will be to Israel.

yes. lets just pretend trump didnt waste more than 2 tril this year on the military who wont even be able to fight any country but nigeria

well fuckface ? BOW DOWN AND KISS THE BOOT, BITCH

hypersonic missles are easy? this guy!

Fuck off Chink dispora.

Damn straight. OP makes me wonder if he has been sleeping the whole time. I'm dealing with gigabit internet and the military can control a drone and a missle from half way around the world bouncing data off of satellites blowing the shit out of a 1985 Toyota pick up full of shit skins.

in order to achieve that speed a trade off is required...in this case explosive power....basically its just a super fast hand grenade....looks badass on paper.

aircraft carriers are designed to put as many planes and bombs into the sky as possible, what happens after that is irrelevant, and the us has an enormous submarine fleet

Actually, it probably doesn't carry any explosives, and relies on kinetic energy to punch through a target, like high velocity ASAT missiles.

>The fall of US to number 2 position is going to cause the saltiest tsunami in history.
>I cant wait.
Seems likely once the millenials get to positions of power so 30 years or so - they will be so thrilled with communism and chinko handhelds they will prostrate themselves and grow rice and onions in their china victory gardens (on their {one} window cill)

Yes, keep planning on destroying sovereign property. Brilliant strategy.

Nah, we haven’t lost until we’re dead. Not that you’d understand that because you’re a dogfucking leaf.

These aren't icbms as planned and ideally they would have loiter capability. The end game is autonomous hypersonic drones with some carry capacity. Though clearly that is some ways off. While not cheap today it is a technology that can be reduced in cost with refinement much like a wide range of advanced anti ship and anti armor missile tech is today. The down side is that at some point even minor shit tier countries will have the same general hardware and thus have the capability of striking targets on the US mainland at short notice.

True story i use to send Chinese people links to the anti Chinese government websites lol

Believe it or not I’m actually in the US defense (engineering) industry. Hypersonics is all anyone fucking talks about at meeting, it’s kind of ridiculous

Wtf does this dude look so much like Winnie the pooh?

That's not a downside, that's perfectly good. Americans will have to think twice before they risk invading other countries again.

Naw, our Navy is one of the few things we do right. What we have is institutional knowledge on how to win battles. China hasn't been in a fight since vietnam, meanwhile we've been trotting the globe honing our skills (admittedly for worse rather than better, but you won't hear an officer go in front of congress and tell them that the military is 100% ready to go. ever.)

You can fill your garage full of tools, but that doesn't make you a mechanic.

Warfare can actually be framed in information theoretical terms - it’s all about obtaining greater knowledge of your enemies position that they have about yours.

Once you know that, finding a way to kill them is simply an engineering problem

The Airforce actually has the right idea with stealth, but it hasn’t trickled into other areas of the military thinking yet

>implying black budget tech is ready to be deployed at any moment
