Leave people who think the US is ALMIGHTY because they have nuclear weapons. They're still been humbled when they meet their match.




Who is their match?

While we are still discussing cow (maluuuuuu)




The cows are the aircraft carriers for the Fulanis.

The cows help them move weapons from one place to another. So, such precious ethnic carriers needs to be protected.

reason why it is building up intercontinental ballistic missiles that can reach USA mainland as a deterrent.



The US has THAAD (Terminal High Air Altitude Defense) to counter and shoot down any enemy strike targeting its mainland.

The THAAD has a speech twice the speed of the fastest Russian missle both supersonic and parallel.

These carriers have been praised so much. Am eager to see them in real battle against the Chinese anti ship missiles
You are eager to see 3rd world war smh

THAAD will have difficulty stopping China's hypersonic missiles, DF-15, which have 10 times the speed of sound. Do you know that some of the most advanced missiles also have defense system that can shoot down any adversary obstruction on its way? It depends on who boasts of superior technology though

There's this argument among global military analysts that the US is hiding some crucial information about them strength of THAAD.

THAAD is one of the major reasons the US under president Donald Trump was not disturbed by the serial threat from NK.

Remember, only few top US military Generals knew the US drone that struck the Iranian General in January of 2020 was existing. Even the president didn't know it ever existed until he was told they have such a precision guided drone.

Obama too didn't know the noiseless helicopter that was deployed against Osama ever existed in the Marine inventory. It was after the CIA concluded its intelligence that Pentagon told Obama that such a stealth helicopter was existing.

I'm not being too apologetic to the US, but let's not debate what's obvious. They've tested almost all their military platforms to know areas of weakness and strength, Russia on the other hand is well equipped but most of their weapons are untested. That's a red flag in the eventuality of a major battle.

In the event of war, China has one obvious advantage over USA which we can all agree with: its production capacity. In most cases, it is not actually the weapons used to start a war that often guarantee victory, but those weapons that are built during the war based on the needs and specific strategy. Hypersonic missiles are no child play before any missile defensive system. We are talking about 10 times the speed of sound or even more, which human beings can be so accurate and fast to take down such missiles? Unless the USA's THAAD is self-propelling, so it can automatically detect the missiles through its radar and launch itself. These missiles are unlike the rockets fired by Assad towards Israel which can be easily detected and intercepted by iron dome. Hypersonic are smarter, stealthy and less noisy. Technology is the baseline to any country winning the missile war anyway.

You read that this test was to determine its resistance to hostile environment, and it did stood its ground against a 3.9 magnitude earthquake environment yet you went on to tell stories of how Chinco missile ships will take out a US Aircraft carrier, how will the Chinco made missile even get the opportunity to do that?

You should read the post again before you go masturbating on fake Chinco made missiles and untested(war situations) Russian submarines.

Oga calm down china/russia anti ship missile system lyk the the dongfeng or so will easily sink any aircraft carrier

And the test dey ar doing is far from reality (so u thing china/russia will be targeting water around the aircraft instead of the vehicle it self )
At vest the drill na for iran/pirate and any other small countries lyk palestine or Taliban

Population of ground troops will not be advantageous in the eventuality of booth-to-booth warfare. The country with airspace might will win. Imagine china going into war with the US who could deploy aircraft carriers with nuclear capability.

I'm sure that the THAAD (Terminal Air Altitude Defense) will intercept and neutralize any perceived warhead coming the direction of the US.

My arguments may seem apologetic and sentimental to the US, but I'm analysing based on the knowledge I have about those countries' military might.

The Chendu the Chinese could boast of is only in the class if F-14/16 in the US air defense. Do your research and you'll discover that the B bombers are sleepless night for major world powers.

Well, I haven't countered you on the supremacy of USA hardwares in terms of quality and numbers. But those who did ranking and placed China above Russia because of their population also knew what they were doing. Because China doesn't have the kind of arsenals that Russia have. So in modern war, population still plays an important role.

You guy's should go back and read

That's a dumb question.

Russia does not possess any carrier with the capabilities of this one. If this one is onboarding the F22 Raptor, no one comes close.

For fusion technology Russia is still the best

Nope.

Stealth is the future of warfare because the element of surprise is what often determines swift victory.

And you're also wrong about sensor fusion: nothing comes close to the F35 Lightning.

That ranking can only be applied to the army wing, not sea (Navy) and air battle (airforce). You don't need booth population to outdo your enemy in those two areas.

The US marine is a combination of all the three military components in terms of training, arsenal, logistic and personnel.
Re: US Navy Fires Thousands Of Pounds Of Explosives To Test Aircraft Carrier( Pic) by Praxis758: 9:32am On Jun 22, 2021
Your analysis is salient.

The North Korea leader knows any warhead he launch to target the US mainland is an effort in futility because of THAAD

I'm reiterating THAAD because it was meant to be a classified defense system at the initial stage. Iron Dome is totally different from THAAD. Iron Dome is mean to detect and intersect rockets launch while THAAD is designed to detect, and destroy high calibre 'warhead' aimed at the US mainland.

It has its independent satellite stationed to provide intelligence about warhead (e.g supersonic). It's a self propelling defense system. There some Infos about it that are classified.

And for your info, it is not like the conventional missile launcher being mounted on military trucks. THAAD is purely conduit (buried underground) which makes its difficult for enemy countries to locate and attack it.

Don't be surprised that the US has it at its boarderlines but won't disclose the exact locations to the media. The only know locations are those deployed to Alaska to.

They're initially said its success stories were not encouraging when first tested, but that was released to gladden the enemy and hid it's capabilities and potentials.

I understand the supersonic is 10x the speed of sound but a countries whose defense budget is more that the G7 combined is not a child play.

You are here defending thaad, while the US military Generals are asking for more money to develop better defense for Russia hypersonic missles..
In the words of one, the US doesn't have a strong enough defense for Russia hypersonic missles
Infact there isn't a suitable defense for hypersonic missles...
How many satan missles can thaad bring down

The F35 is a stand-off figher and attack aircraft, it can take out an S300 site from a distance. The essence of platforms like the F22 and F35 is to interdict and attack from a distance.

Go back to your book a distance attack from the f35 can't destroy it unless your telling me it's going to be a barrage of attacks from different directions, a standalone f35 can't do nothing, the only scenario is for the f35 to fly low and attack but from the air, there's a reason the s 300 is one of the best..
If you still doubt go and research why most s300 go together with the pantir system...
Your talking about a system designed to counter the f35 and the best attack you can think of is a long range attack

Bros must Government support everything? How about individuals and cooperate organizations? I am not defending any shithole but my country remains my country. Some countries are worst than Nigeria but you will never hear her citizens trolling their country, that doesn't mean they are happy with their situation.
