US Vice Admiral calls the Zircon hypersonic missile the greatest threat to US Navy aircraft carriers

_{Shot from tests of the Zircon rocket}

US Vice Admiral John Hill, who heads the US missile defense agency, spoke to congressmen about new threats that the US carrier fleet may face.

According to Vice Admiral Hill, the main risks for American aircraft carriers today are associated with the potential use of hypersonic missiles against them.

John Hill:

Our aircraft carriers are already facing the threat of hypersonic weapons, which appears in service with our opponents. The Russians have already adopted Dagger hypersonic missiles that can be launched from fighters and bombers.

It is noted that the first carrier of the "Dagger" in the Russian Aerospace Forces was the MiG-31, which received the designation MiG-31K.

A report from the US Congressional Research Service indicates that several versions of hypersonic weapons are currently being developed in Russia, including the Zircon. It is this sea-based missile that John Hill considers the most formidable weapon against American aircraft carriers. The United States sees significant risks in the fact that the aircraft carrier strike groups of the country's naval forces (Navy) lack systems capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles.

The US Navy has not yet built a missile defense system that could intercept hypersonic missiles.

It is proposed to channel funds for the development of this component of the US Navy, so that aircraft carriers do not become easy targets for hypersonic missiles.

That's what is characteristic, the Americans at the highest level speak frankly Russian, our opponents! And we are all our overseas partners, our overseas friends ... And there is also a layer of people in Russia who generally pray to the United States, as if they do not hear that we are an enemy for America!

[Tzar]

It seems that in our country, too, they have recently been talking directly about the flight time of NATO missiles from Europe to Moscow ... So we are also slowly returning to reality.

[Season]

Yes. There are many of them, and their name is liberasts.

This is the way we are in Russia, until the thunder breaks out .. This is already a national trait that has been rooted for centuries, unfortunately ..

And these bastards, the most dangerous enemies who are destroying the Russian statehood with grants from the inside .. As Dostoevsky said, Russia will be ruined by the liberals .. There have been repeated attempts and very bloody for the Russian people ..

[Viktor Sergeev]

Well, "partners" is an interesting word, the main thing is to decide whether they are equivalent or one another. Well, and "friends" in Russian depends on the intonation and the meaning that is put into it. Unlike English, print Russian and Russian spoken are two different languages, so let them call us enemies, it's good, the main thing is not to become friends for them or even worse partners like Ukraine. While they are scolding, it means we are on the right track.

The AUG includes a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, 1-2 Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, 3-4 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, 1-2 Los Angeles-class SSNs, 1-2 supply vehicles. ) units.
On board frigate-24 missiles.
The admiral is understandable.

Cartoons of Putin, now they are like a bone in the throat .. The bastards have quieted down and complain about the insidious Russians. And I remember they called Russia the world gas station heh
Beautifully all the same, Russia clicked on the nose of the Anglo-Saxons and others
Russia will surprise you more than once .. We have learned a lot from you, so no offense if anything .. Do not anger Russia and you will be happy "gentlemen" ..

[Fedor Sokolov]

Let them be afraid and draw appropriate conclusions.

I don’t understand that John Hill is so worried about his aircraft carriers. In the first, the aircraft carrier in the sea still needs to be found, and then another approach, you need to fly up to less than 1000 km. It seems that the declared range of the Dagger and Zircon is 1000 km. Yes, Aviki in the conflict with Russia will be used in the second shock wave, it is much safer for them.

I drank some money, it is relevant in the United States, especially since if you pretend to be an "unarmed orphan" from "Zircon", you can squeeze out additional money for the fleet from the budget. The ground forces, the air force and the navy have been "butting" there for a long time.

[tralflot1832]

There is no protection from the hyper of Russian and Chinese, and then why did Gerald Ford go to the South China Sea today so that the Chinese could train. So they will practice, they will drive until the last time. They will cry that the Chinese have carried out electronic missile launches, along their pelvis peace and freedom.

[tralflot1832]

Even Gerald Ford didn’t get excited, but before the military service, I saw and saw with a file! Ronald Reagan came in.

[rocket757]

It is this sea-launched missile that John Hill considers the most formidable weapon against American aircraft carriers.

... And sho, their aircraft carriers will last off our shores?
Where else can they meet with "zircons"?

Yes, Victor! That is, with this question, the American general showed, confirmed that there is such an intention - to approach our shores. And then, like, these are evil Russians ...

[rocket757]

Post a poster "Welcome !!!" Yes, write an inscription on the background of a sinking aircraft carrier!
And sho, such a creative person.

but what about the Merikatos theme with "cartoons" about "Zircon"? It became scary!

[rotmistr60]

Our aircraft carriers are already facing the threat of hypersonic weapons, which are appearing in service with our opponents.

Even when introducing the AUG into the Persian Gulf, the Americans today do not feel entirely comfortable assuming an Iranian strike, but what then can we say about Russia and China, which the United States has designated as an enemy? Therefore, it is in the interests of both parties not to intensify the confrontation, but to start negotiating on equal terms. Well, if there is no desire, then in the event of a conflict, be prepared to lose crews of several thousand people and ships, on which billions were killed.

[Lech from Android.]

A year ago, I was strenuously convinced that there were no weapons against aircraft carriers and that the AUG defense could not be overcome ... now the Americans themselves confirm that this is not so.
Times change ... the battle of sword and shield is eternal in this world.

[Cananecat]

How long has it been impossible to overcome the AUG defense? Especially a year ago ...? Taking into account the development of rocketry, AUG will soon be suitable only against barmaley and banana republics. And then not for long ...

[Season]

Air defense AUG somewhere 75-78%, that is, with a salvo of 6 Onyx missiles, one missile is guaranteed to break through. Even if it hits the flight deck, that's it, the aircraft carrier is guaranteed to be out for two days. The cost of one rocket, in terms of dollars, is half a lemon. Aircraft carrier, cheapest, three to four yards. Price-quality ratio: 1: 5000.

Will not break through!

You don't understand anything at all about missile guidance

... along the way it's you You don't understand anything without this ... the meter range "breaks through" the plasma .. it is with this range that the interior of the Sun is investigated, what can we say about the plasma cavity of a hypersonic rocket, so there is a possibility of correction ... and Ameradmiral knows about this, unlike you

Proposed to channel funds

Everything is as usual, nothing new.

Ay-ay-ay, the evil Otss have come up with the terrible Zircon rocket! Give me a billion, or rather a hundred for defense
