NEWS Seahawks Sink Houthi Boats

[Framer]

I wonder if the debate about the CAR or perhaps NAM’s with a “C” device earlier in this thread would be happening if the missiles shot at the Carney and other ships were from a legitimate nation like Iran instead of Houthis? 🤔 It’s sad when we put down actual combat and ordnance being exchanged because a debate wants to occur over a piece of cloth.

That's true today in a permissive EM/cyber environment. Any strike fighter at 200' with Harpoon + capability can reach out and touch ANY surface combatant Renhai, Arleigh Burke included.

Imagine if "ship below the horizon" said "airplane with standoff weapon below the horizon". Then try responding to my whole post instead of a specially curated version that leaves out key elements.

Thanks for the nostalgia from 25 years ago.

Have a Shakira video.

I wasn't aware physics had an expiration date but OK. You win the internet. I'm out.

What happens if the enemy jams or shoots down your drone, or even hacks it, or jams or shoots out your satellite?

The same thing that happens now with manned fighters conducting strikes against near-peer warships. OTH sensors are already critical parts of our kill chain.

The PRC's rapid modernization and our love for investing into platforms vice ordnance caught us flat-footed.

Like I said earlier, the current solution is our asymmetrical USW advantage.

Please stop. You have zero idea what you are talking about and it’s painful.

HSM joins VAQ as fellow fat kids with A/A kill. This is the strangest universe I’ve ever lived in. Put AIM-9 on the P-8 and let’s set things ablaze.

I don't think the physics has changed much, but shipborne OTH radars have been around for a while. Whether specific OTH radars can actually do OTH targeting vice detect/track may be a discussion for a different forum.

Wait, what did I miss?

Dunno, but I'm not tracking anything that's both in-theater and public release-able.

@Griz882 I see the laughter but genuinely have no idea what the reference to an HSM A/A kill is and if it was a joke it went over my head.

It's been done before.

The Nimrods were fitted with them in the Falklands War after encountering Argentine 707's doing maritime reconnaissance on 3 separate instances.
