Busted - 24 Chinese hypersonic missiles can sink USS Gerald R Ford strike force

[YouTube] Taiwan has dismissed China's claim that it could sink the US Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier strike group.

This assertion seems to be part of an effort to bolster public confidence and counter ongoing Chinese intimidation tactics.

A research paper published in May by scholars affiliated with the People's Liberation Army-backed North University of China claimed that a war game demonstrated the capability of sinking a flotilla led by the USS Gerald R Ford with 24 hypersonic anti-ship missiles with absolute certainty.

Everything is possible in theory, even if the probability is less than 1%. Real life is a different story.

This marked the first public disclosure of a Chinese simulation involving hypersonic strikes on a US aircraft carrier. The simulation is thought to have utilized Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26 ballistic missiles, commonly referred to as "carrier killers" due to their intended targeting of mobile naval vessels.

This was reported by SCMP or South China Morning Post.

Viewers can check the video on the above card to get details of the Chinese simulation.

#1 So now we know what that model built in the desert was for. That's serious gaming commitment.

#2 Can the Theater US Forces survive The 6 Hour War™? IMO the CCP will throw the proverbial 'kitchen sink' at the US forces. They will be smart, they will be cunning and they will have wargamed it for years. Remember the Egyptian Army crossing the Suez Canal in 1973? That degree of planning.

After the first day the US forces will get to show their mettle.

Ouch, magpie. That was an exceedingly effective bit of communication.

#5 Did they calculate when someone pushes 'the button' making it all meaningless in the end?

#7 Somewhere in the plot of every Tom Clancy novel is the hot new item that fails to perform, while some used-up submarine or a discontinued missile found in the back of the warehouse saves the day.

Yes, it's fiction, but compelling because real life is full of exactly those kinds of unexpected twists.
