Posts shared on Facebook show Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, describing the image as “married 60 year old (sic) Willie Brown” and “his 29 year old mistress, Kamala.” Although the photo appears to be authentic, he was separated from his wife for more than a decade when he and Harris dated in the mid-1990s. Their relationship, which ended in 1995, was not a secret.
You are better than this, I just showed you she has won all the political positions she has ever hold,
You said their relationship ended in 1995 yet Kamala Harris first political tango started when she was elected DA of san Francisco in 2004, Is mr brown the millions who voted her District attorney, Attorney General, senator and vice president
??

During the course of her political rise she broke alot of racial and gender stereotypes becoming the first woman, first African American, and Asian American woman to hold these offices in the state of california also becoming the first woman and woman of colour to become vice president, she possess all the credentials and political experience to contest and with all things being equal come November she will be the first woman, first black America woman to become POTUS.

Kamala Harris whose political career was launched by a sugar daddy? Is she the person you are comparing with Margaret Tacha and Angela Merkel?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Name of the sugar daddy

Someone that was the city attorney of San Francisco later became DA of San Francisco. Ran for Attorney General of california won and was reelected before contesting to be a senator.

Note this positions are not appointed positions like similar positions in nigeria, Attorney Generals and District attorneys are contested positions, there are primaries, debates, and Campaigns people actually go and vote just like in regular elections.

Stop saying what you don't know.

Dude a man muscuility can't be judge on the basis of someone voting a more capable person from the opposite gender, throughout history many women have proven themselves in the corridors of power.

Chancellor Merkel of Germany, under her regime Germany became the biggest economy in the European zone.

Margaret Thatcher the longest serving prime minister of Britain in the 20th century, she won a record 3 General elections in landslide fashion, she was instrumental In the early British economic boom post world war two, she led the British against Argentina and won, also she was key to the coalition victory of Iraq during the kuwait war,so the millions of men who voted her on three occasions are weak??.

Indira Gandhi the first and only female prime minister, under her rule India successfully repel multiple Chinese invasion, India conducted their first successful nuclear weapons test, she is responsible for the creation of the Bangladesh state, as she led India to a successful war against Pakistan creating the Bangladesh nation.

There are many instances of women doing well in government, Golda Meir of isreal under her tutelage as the prime minister of Israel, she oversaw the last days of the six days war against the Arab coalition, also successful led isreal to a military victory over a Soviet backed and armed Egyptian and Syrian armies during the Yom Kippur War.

The same Kamala Harris a former United States senator, formal district attorney, former attorney General and currently the vice-president, she has all the credentials to vile for the position of POTUS.

So my guy you should not be supporting notions like this, This is the 20th century such thinking should be not supported, especially from someone like WriterrNg who likely has never been a student leader talkless of holding any political office.

Ukrainian grain has never been critical to the African continent. Look, if you want to talk to people who do not belong to your ideological group, then you need to stop quoting your favorit propaganda and start using your brain.
Ukrainian grain exports, especially wheat, make up a large portion of African grain imports. Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, in 2020, over 50 percent of fifteen African countries’ imports of wheat came from Ukraine

Foreign AffairsBarack And Michelle Obama Endorse Kamala Harris For President by Obedience40(op): 10:26am On Jul 26, 2024

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km1Rkm0pHO4?si=eT2m039A_vqPaQoY

Barack Obama has endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic presidential nominee, ending days of speculation over whether he would support her.

Former President Obama and ex-First Lady Michelle Obama said in a joint statement that they believe Ms Harris has the "vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands".Mr Obama was reportedly among more than 100 prominent Democrats Ms Harris spoke to after President Joe Biden announced last Sunday he was dropping out of the race.

In a statement at the time, Mr Obama praised Mr Biden's exit, but stopped short of endorsing Ms Harris.
The US vice-president has already secured the support of a majority of Democratic delegates, setting her on course to become the official nominee at the party convention in August.

The Obamas said in Friday's statement that they could not be "more thrilled to endorse" Ms Harris. They vowed to do "everything we can" to elect her.
"We agree with President Biden," said the couple's statement, "choosing Kamala was one of the best decisions he’s made. She has the resume to prove it."
They cited her record as California’s attorney general, a US senator and then vice-president
.

"But Kamala has more than a resume," the statement continued. "She has the vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands.
"There is no doubt in our mind that Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people
.

"At a time when the stakes have never been higher, she gives us all reason to hope."
The statement was accompanied by a video of Ms Harris taking a phone call from the Obamas in which they pledge their support
.

"Oh my goodness," says the vice-president in the clip. "Michelle, Barack, this means so much to me."
Ms Harris has held a number of campaign events across the US in the days since Mr Biden withdrew from the race
.

On Thursday, she addressed the American Federation of Teachers union in Houston.

While the event was billed as part of her vice-presidential duties, it had the air of a campaign rally, with loud applause and cheers from the audience.
Echoing language used in campaign events on Tuesday and Wednesday, Ms Harris took aim at what she termed "extremist" Republicans and "failed" policies.
“We want to ban assault weapons, and they want to ban books,” she said.

On Thursday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continued to pivot to assail his new rival.
"Lyin' Kamala Harris is a radical left Marxist, and worse!" he said in a partially all-capital-letters post on his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump also refused to commit to a televised debate with Ms Harris until she is officially confirmed as the party's nominee.

He suggested Democrats were "still holding out for someone 'better'".

Foreign AffairsIsmael "El Mayo" Zambada: Leader Of Mexico Sinaloa Drug Cartel Arrested In Texas by Obedience40(op): 6:56am On Jul 26, 2024
One of the world's most powerful drug lords, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, has been arrested by US federal agents in El Paso, Texas.Zambada, 76, founded the criminal organisation with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who is currently jailed in the US.

Arrested with Zambada on Thursday was Guzman's son, Joaquin Guzman Lopez, said the US justice department
In February, Zambada was charged by US prosecutors with a conspiracy to make and distribute fentanyl, a drug more powerful than heroin that has been blamed for the US opioid crisis.

In a written statement on Thursday evening, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said the two men lead "one of the most violent and powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world".
"El Mayo and Guzman Lopez join a growing list of Sinaloa cartel leaders and associates who the Justice Department is holding accountable in the United States," Mr Garland said
.

"Fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, and the Justice Department will not rest until every single cartel leader, member, and associate responsible for poisoning our communities is held accountable,” added Mr Garland, the top law enforcement officer in the US.American prosecutors say the Sinaloa cartel is the biggest supplier of drugs to the US.US authorities have previously noted that fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had been offering a reward of up to $15m (£12m) for Zambada's capture.
During Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman’s trial in 2019, his lawyers accused Zambada of bribing the “entire” Mexican government in exchange for living openly without fear of prosecution.
"In truth he controlled nothing," Guzman’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, told jurors of his client. "Mayo Zambada did," he claimed.

According to the US state department, Zambada is also the owner of several legitimate businesses in Mexico, including “a large milk company, a bus line, and a hotel”, as well as real estate assets.
Alongside fentanyl charges, he is also facing charges in the US ranging from drug trafficking, murder, kidnapping, money laundering and organised crime.
In May, Zambada’s nephew - Eliseo Imperial Castro, who was known as "Cheyo Antrax" - was killed in an ambush in Mexico. He was also wanted by US authorities
.

Zambada is arguably the biggest drug lord in the world and certainly the most influential in the Americas
He had evaded authorities for decades, and as such, his arrest has come as a shock in Mexico.
Details of the arrests of the two men remain unclear, but it appears they flew into the United States.
Citing Mexican and US officials, the Wall Street Journal reports that Zambada was tricked into boarding the plane by a high-ranking Sinaloa member following a months-long operation by Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI.

Zambada believed he was going to inspect clandestine airfields in Mexico, the paper reports.
In a statement, US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said the Sinaloa cartel "pioneered the manufacture of fentanyl and has for years trafficked it into our country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans and devastating countless communities".

FBI director Chris Wray said the arrests are "an example of the FBI's and our partners' commitment to dismantling violent transnational criminal organizations like the Sinaloa Cartel," he said.
As more information emerges, Zambada's arrest will no doubt be heralded by President Joe Biden's administration as one of the most significant operations by the DEA in years.
Zambada co-founded the Sinaloa cartel in the wake of the collapse of the Guadalajara cartel at the end of the 1980s.

While Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was the public face of the organisation and the most notorious of the two men, many believed it was in fact El Mayo who was its real leader
Not only ruthless, he was also innovative, creating and maintaining some of the earliest links with Colombian cartels to flood the US with cocaine and heroin.
And more latterly, fentanyl.
His leadership of the criminal empire has endured in the face of changing presidents in Mexico and the US, amid repeated anti-drug offensives from successive governments and constant efforts by his enemies in other drug-trafficking organisations to bring him down.
That is no mean feat in the violent, dangerous and treacherous underworld in which he has operated as an unassailable kingpin for many years.
Yet that extraordinary resilience appears to have run out in El Paso, Texas – a city blighted by the influx of the synthetic opioid, fentanyl, much of which was smuggled in by his organisation.

Foreign AffairsRe: A Bugatti Car, A First Lady And The Fake Stories Aimed At Americans by Obedience40(op): 8:47am On Jul 03, 2024

Foreign AffairsA Bugatti Car, A First Lady And The Fake Stories Aimed At Americans by Obedience40(op): 8:39am On Jul 03, 2024
A network of Russia-based websites masquerading as local American newspapers is pumping out fake stories as part of an AI-powered operation that is increasingly targeting the US election, a BBC investigation can reveal.

A former Florida police officer who relocated to Moscow is one of the key figures behind it.

It would have been a bombshell report - if it was true.
Olena Zelenska, the first lady of Ukraine, allegedly bought a rare Bugatti Tourbillon sports car for 4.5m euros ($4.8m; £3.8m) while visiting Paris for D-Day commemorations in June. The source of the funds was supposedly American military aid money.
The story appeared on an obscure French website just days ago - and was swiftly debunked


Experts pointed out strange anomalies on the invoice posted online. A whistleblower cited in the story appeared only in an oddly edited video that may have been artificially created. Bugatti issued a sharp denial, calling it "fake news", and its Paris dealership threatened legal action against the people behind the false story.

But before the truth could even get its shoes on, the lie had gone viral. Influencers had already picked up the false story and spread it widely
One X user, the pro-Russia, pro-Donald Trump activist Jackson Hinkle, posted a link seen by more than 6.5m people. Several other accounts spread the story to millions more X users – at least 12m in total, according to the site’s metrics.

It was a fake story, on a fake news website, designed to spread widely online, with its origins in a Russia-based disinformation operation BBC Verify first revealed last year - at which point the operation appeared to be trying to undermine Ukraine’s government

Our latest investigation, carried out over more than six months and involving the examination of hundreds of articles across dozens of websites, found that the operation has a new target - American voters.
Dozens of bogus stories tracked by the BBC appear aimed at influencing US voters and sowing distrust ahead of November’s election. Some have been roundly ignored but others have been shared by influencers and members of the US Congress[/b].

The story of the Bugatti hit many of the top themes of the operation – Ukrainian corruption, US aid spending, and the inner workings of French high society.
Another fake which went viral earlier this year was more directly aimed at American politics.
It was published on a website called The Houston Post – one of dozens of sites with American-sounding names which are in reality run from Moscow - and alleged that the FBI illegally wiretapped Donald Trump’s Florida resort
.
It played neatly into Trump’s allegations that the legal system is unfairly stacked against him, that there is a conspiracy to thwart his campaign, and that his opponents are using dirty tricks to undermine him. Mr Trump himself has accused the FBI of snooping on his conversations.

Experts say that the operation is just one part of a much larger ongoing effort, led from Moscow, to spread disinformation during the US election campaign.

While no hard evidence has emerged that these particular fake news websites are run by the Russian state, researchers say the scale and sophistication of the operation is broadly similar to previous Kremlin-backed efforts to spread disinformation in the West.
“Russia will be involved in the US 2024 election, as will others,” said Chris Krebs, who as the director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency was responsible for ensuring the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.
“We're already seeing them - from a broader information operations perspective on social media and elsewhere - enter the fray, pushing against already contentious points in US politics,” he said.
The BBC contacted the Russian Foreign Ministry and Russia’s US and UK embassies, but received no response. We also attempted to contact Mr Hinkle for comment.
HOW THE FAKES SPREAD

Since state-backed disinformation campaigns and money-making “fake news” operations attracted attention during the 2016 US election campaign, disinformation merchants have had to get more creative both in spreading their content and making it seem credible.

The operation investigated by BBC Verify uses artificial intelligence to generate thousands of news articles, posted to dozens of sites with names meant to sound quintessentially American – Houston Post, Chicago Crier, Boston Times, DC Weekly and others. Some use the names of real newspapers that went out of business years or decades ago.

Most of the stories on these sites are not outright fakes. Instead, they are based on real news stories from other sites apparently rewritten by artificial intelligence software.
In some instances, instructions to the AI engines were visible on the finished stories, such as: “Please rewrite this article taking a conservative stance”


The stories are attributed to hundreds of fake journalists with made-up names and in some cases, profile pictures taken from elsewhere on the internet.
For instance, a photo of best-selling writer Judy Batalion was used on multiple stories on a website called DC Weekly, “written” by an online persona called “Jessica Devlin”.
“I was totally confused,” Ms Batalion told the BBC. “I still don't really understand what my photo was doing on this website.”
.
Ms Batalion said she assumed the photo had been copied and pasted from her LinkedIn profile
“I had no contact with this website,” she said. “It's made me more self-conscious about the fact that any photo of yourself online can be used by someone else.”

The sheer number of stories - thousands each week - along with their repetition across different websites, indicates that the process of posting AI-generated content is automated. Casual browsers could easily come away with the impression that the sites are thriving sources of legitimate news about politics and hot-button social issues.
However, interspersed within this tsunami of content is the real meat of the operation - fake stories aimed increasingly at American audiences.

The stories often blend American and Ukrainian political issues - for instance one claimed that a worker for a Ukrainian propaganda outfit was dismayed to find that she was assigned tasks designed to knock down Donald Trump and bolster President Biden.

Another report invented a New York shopping trip made by Ukraine’s first lady, and alleged she was racist towards staff at a jewellery store
The BBC has found that forged documents and fake YouTube videos were used to bolster both false stories

Some of the fakes break out and get high rates of engagement on social media, said Clement Briens, senior threat intelligence analyst at cybersecurity company Recorded Future.
His company says that 120 websites were registered by the operation - which it calls CopyCop - over just three days in May. And the network is just one of a number of Russia-based disinformation operations.
Other experts - at Microsoft, Clemson University, and at Newsguard, a company that tracks misinformation sites - have also been tracking the network. Newsguard says it has counted at least 170 sites connected to the operation.

“Initially, the operation seemed small,” said McKenzie Sadeghi, Newsguard’s AI and foreign influence editor. “As each week passed it seemed to be growing significantly in terms of size and reach. People in Russia would regularly cite and boost these narratives, via Russian state TV, Kremlin officials and Kremlin influencers.
“There's about a new narrative originating from this network almost every week or two,” she said.

MAKING THE FAKE APPEAR REAL

To further bolster the credibility of the fake stories, operatives create YouTube videos, often featuring people who claim to be “whistleblowers” or “independent journalists”.
In some cases the videos are narrated by actors – in others it appears they are AI-generated voices
.

Several of the videos appear to be shot against a similar-looking background, further suggesting a co-ordinated effort to spread fake news stories.
The videos aren’t themselves meant to go viral, and have very few views on YouTube. Instead, the videos are quoted as “sources” and cited in text stories on the fake newspaper websites.
For instance, the story about the Ukrainian information operation allegedly targeting the Trump campaign cited a YouTube video which purported to include shots from an office in Kyiv, where fake campaign posters were visible on the walls.

Links to the stories are then posted on Telegram channels and other social media accounts.
Eventually, the sensational “scoops” - which, like the Trump wiretap story and a slew of earlier stories about Ukrainian corruption, often repeat themes already popular among patriotic Russians and some supporters of Donald Trump - can reach both Russian influencers and audiences in the West.
Although only a few rise to the highest levels of prominence, some have spread to millions – and to powerful people
.

A story which originated on DC Weekly, claiming that Ukrainian officials bought yachts with US military aid, was repeated by several members of Congress, including Senator J D Vance and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Mr Vance is one of a handful of politicians mentioned as a potential vice-presidential running mate for Donald Trump.

THE FORMER US COP

One of the key people involved in the operation is John Mark Dougan, a former US Marine who worked as a police officer in Florida and Maine in the 2000s.
Mr Dougan later set up a website designed to collect leaked information about his former employer, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office
In a harbinger of his activities in Russia, Mr Dougan’s site published authentic information including the home addresses of police officers, alongside fake stories and rumours. The FBI raided his apartment in 2016, at which point he fled to Moscow.

He has since written books, reported from occupied parts of Ukraine and has made appearances on Russian think tank panels, at military events and on a TV station owned by Russia’s ministry of defence.
In text message conversations with the BBC, Mr Dougan has flatly denied being involved with the websites. On Tuesday, he denied any knowledge of the story about the Bugatti sports car.
But at other times he has bragged about his prowess in spreading fake news.
At one point he also implied that his activities are a form of revenge against American authorities.
“For me it’s a game," he said. “And a little payback.”
At another point he said: “My YouTube channel received many strikes for misinformation” for his reporting from Ukraine, raising the prospect of his channel being taken offline.
“So if they want to say misinformation, well, let’s do it right,” he texted.

A large body of digital evidence also shows connections between the former police officer and the Russia-based websites.
The BBC and experts we consulted traced IP addresses and other digital information back to websites run by Dougan
.

At one point a story on the DC Weekly site, written in response to a New York Times piece which mentioned Dougan, was attributed to “An American Citizen, the owner of these sites,” and stated: “I am the owner, an American citizen, a US military veteran, born and raised in the United States.”
The article signed off with Dougan’s email address
.

Shortly after we reported on Mr Dougan’s activities in a previous story, a fake version of the BBC website briefly appeared online. It was linked through digital markers to his network.


Mr Dougan is most likely not the only person working on the influence operation and who funds it remains unclear.
“I think it's important not to overplay his role in this campaign," said Darren Linvill, co-director of Clemson University’s Media Forensic Hub, which has been tracking the network. “He may be just a bit of a bit player and a useful dupe, because he's an American.”
Despite his appearances on state-run media and at government-linked think tanks, Mr Dougan denies he is being paid by the Kremlin.
“I have never been paid a single dime by the Russian government,” he said via text message.

TARGETING THE US ELECTION
The operation that Dougan is involved in has increasingly shifted its focus from stories about the war in Ukraine to stories about American and British politics.

The false article about the FBI and the alleged wiretap at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort was one of the first stories produced by the network that was entirely about US politics, with no mention of Ukraine or Russia.

Clint Watts, who leads Microsoft’s Digital Threat Analysis Center, said that the operation often blends together issues with salience both in Ukraine and the West.
Mr Watts said that the volume of content being posted and the increasing sophistication of Russia-based efforts could potentially pose a significant problem in the run-up to November’s election.

“They're not getting mass distribution every single time,” he said, but noted that several attempts made each week could lead to false narratives taking hold in the “information ocean” of a major election campaign.
“It can have an outsized impact", and stories from the network can take off very quickly, he said.

“Gone are the days of Russia purchasing ads in roubles, or having pretty obvious trolls that are sitting in a factory in St. Petersburg,” said Nina Jankowicz, head of the American Sunlight Project, a non-profit organisation attempting to combat the spread of disinformation.
Ms Jankowicz was briefly director of the short-lived US Disinformation Governance Board, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security designed to tackle false information.
“Now we're seeing a lot more information laundering,” she said - using a term referring to the recycling of fake or misleading stories into the mainstream in order to obscure their ultimate source.
Microsoft researchers also say the operation is attempting to spread stories about UK politics – with an eye on Thursday’s general election – and the Paris Olympics.
One fake story – which appeared on the website called the London Crier – claimed that Mr Zelensky bought a mansion owned by King Charles III at a bargain price.
It was seen by hundreds of thousands of users on X, and shared by an official Russian embassy account. YouTube removed an AI-narrated video posted by an obscure channel that was used as the source of the false story after it was flagged by BBC Verify.

And Mr Dougan hinted at even bigger plans when asked whether increased attention on his activities would slow the spread of his false stories.
“Don’t worry,” he said, “the game is being upped.”

massive deployment of force
when I stated the other day about the effectiveness of a carrier strike group, some naval expert were educating us about how carriers were obsolete and were sitting ducks
.

Here is a country who wants to dominate the seas and achieve blue water capabilities with 3 active aircrafts carriers and 2 currently been built the Chinese are looking good for the future.

There is the Chinese flexing it's muscles in the sea and no better way to do that than bringing their carrier strike group into play.

just because there master "Russia" is shamefuly and currently carrier less they want to downplay the importance of such a massive machine of war.

you have a brain of a child, so if China is anticipating a war, should they start building military installations on people's territories, underwhelming the sovereignty of Nations.

all am trying to point out is simply this, the USA is called a "bully" that's fine, but why support a China who is currently doing same in Asia, no day pases when you don't see China naval coastal guards harassing Philippines fishermen in their own territorial waters.

am done with you boy, you can go arrange exams for your clients.

also made a comparison between Iran and Russia. I wonder how someone would support
Russia and iran as both Nations have different ideas ideology
.

a Russia state who wants a multipolar world, right from the hay days of the cold war it has always been a fight to outwit each other in the war for influence, trying to sale each other style of government, democracy vs communism, capitalism vs socialism
"influence" has always been the battle line between the USA and Russia, both supported each other's enemies when they went to war "USA war in Vietnam and the Soviet union war in Afghanistan, the battle has always been to reduce ecah other influence nothing more than that


the forgien diplomacy of the Iranian state, has always been anti Jewish,anti West rhetoric for years since the shite sect took power in Iran, that has been the totality of Iran Forgien policy, a retard doesn't know thet during the Iran Iraq war both the Soviet and USA supported both side, infact the Soviet union was a major backer of the Iraqi government.
The Iran-iraqi war isn't the reason for Iran hatred towards Isreal, and the usa, it's simply anti Jewish sentiments period


I wasn't asking for the reasons why Iran hates the USA, i was asking why would someone support Russia and also support Iran as both Nations have two distinct ideology's
Russia would never armed terrorist group to start firing missiles at international shipping lanes, that has never been the style and diplomacy of Russia
.

in conclusions the reason why someone would support a certain Russia, who wants a multipolar world, and also want an alternative to the USA dominance of the world space, and also support an Iranian state who back's, finance, supports, and armed terrorist group, and support the firing of missiles into international shipping lanes is simply because he is ANTI AMERICA

oshe angry bird.
your emotions/state of mind is your p.....


let me break it down for you mr tour and travel
we are talking about a carrier group.....which consist of a moving airport. a normal airport handle hundred of flights daily. some civilian airport are so power that, it can detect and monitor hundred of airport, small drones, small plane etc at the same time.

now compare that to when more than 10 military radars are working at the same time. you will now launch swarm of drones on such a moving target, on the deep sea, seriously Mr tour and travel.

maybe no carrier was hit but why did U S gave us old picture instead of new one and again why did US sent Carrier home only to replace it with another one
the said Carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is heading to the Mediterranean sea to support the Israeli incase of a wider conflict with hazebollah, before sailing home, will the USA send a damaged carrier into the Mediterranean, the carrier has been on deployment for seven months.

bro this drone swamp debate is clearly not in your favour.
A drone swamp is just like a proxy attack, with a price factor advantage whereby a 100 drone can cost $1M going against a ship of about $1b. Even if this ship is able to destroy the whole of this drone, the loss of the artillary fired is a bonus for the opponent.
money factor,?? there is no price for life dude, also do you know the consequences of a direct hit on a Carrier, the cost of Lives and equipment, over 4000 people maned a USA navy carrier, the newest air craft Carrier of the USA navy the ford class carrier was bulit with an estimated cost of 13billion dollars, and you are worried about artillery costs. Let the USA tax payers worry about cost of defending the nation.

so you mean Russia shouldn't use its expensive S400 to defend it's cities because the cost of a S400 missle is higher in price than the drone attacking it.

your logic Sir is wrong.

Hypothetical is what we all do factually Friend cheesy

The USA Carrier have yet to come across that kind of threat none that this defence system have engaged such threat on land or at the sea. So yours and his summation are all hypothetical....base theory... grin



The USA carrier that was supposedly hit by Houthi had all this system in place...even though no real time proof that this Mighty Carrier was hit...the USA providing an old video as a counter leaves room for suspicion for us all. We can go all and allover again with this to no end. grin
No USA Carrier was hit

you make assumptions base on reality on ground,and the realities is what I have carefully explained

have a nice day ahead.

You seem so obsessed with carriers in so much that you're now contracting yourself.

You admitted in one of your replies that a drone swarm would definitely score some hits, and when fired from closer proximity, that likelihood of success increases because the said carrier group would have fewer time to react. Talk more of when the drones are stealthy, fast, and coming from different directions. The scenario could even be more terrifying if majority of those drones carries missiles. The carrier group would have a hell of a time intercepting those missiles released by the drones because, the initial interceptor missiles would be targeted at the drone itself, not the missile it might carries and releases, further enhancing the chances of success. Then you have to deal with the suicide ones themselves coming alongside from air and on water. It's not a scenario any navy would wants to experience.

No surface ship is immune to a drone swarm, and that's the bottom line.
I was only saying hypothetical a swamp of drones will likely score a bit
the problem is how will drones be able to swamp a USA carrier, without them being intercept in transit.
