Obedience40:Wait ooo....... Are you deliberately doing this? It's simple now. If 100 or more drones attack a carrier, Even if the drones were detected you can't destroy them all, some are going to hit |

Alamkir:let's imagine a fleet of 100 drones have been launched from bases inside Iran and are currently on their way to a USA navy carrier battle group in the red sea, as soon as dose drones get airborne it is picked up either by the USA military bases land radars in countries like Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Or the carrier radars itself. Over 40plus jets are scrambled from the carrier to intercept dose drones and also cruise missles from its escort are also launch to hit dose drones how many of dose 100drones will get pass over 40plus fighter jets and attack helos and those cruise missiles and attack the battle group the key here is detection and interception carrier's are also armed with close protection weapons. 3 Γ Mk 29 Guided Missile Launching Systems, 8 Γ RIM-162 ESSM or RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles each 3β4 Γ Phalanx CIWS 2 Γ Mk 49 Guided Missile Launching Systems, 21 Γ RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missiles each Mk 38 25 mm Machine Gun Systems AN/SLQ-32 electronic warfare suite AN/SLQ-25 Nixie for Torpedo Countermeasures Source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimitz-class_aircraft_carrier USA navy carrier themselves are also well armed to protect themselves against threat. |

Alamkir:See ehn, the truth is that even in war there's still that element of humanity in both the aggressor and the oppressed. No matter how much I hate a particular nation I won't be so wicked enough to start attacking their Oil and water infrastructure nah. That's worse than even a direct hit on people. A lot of lives depend on this structures, hitting it directly means that you're worse than the devil himself. It won't take me anything, but will I do it? No. Except if it gets to a certain stage in the war where everything becomes truly "fair" as they do say. |

β‘One million under flood warnings as heavy rain hits US Midwest. More than a million people are under flood warnings in the upper US Midwest on Sunday after days of heavy rain that forced evacuations and rescues in several states. The hardest hit have been Iowa and South Dakota, where some rivers are expected to reach record-high levels over the next few days. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds called the floods βcatastrophicβ and has declared a state of disaster in 21 counties. Drone footage posted by regional officials show homes and buildings almost completely submerged, with only rooftops visible. Other states under weekend flood warnings include Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and parts of Illinois.

A few months ago, one fool here was mocking Russia because of some flooded villages. Not knowing that the US is one of the most hit by flooding, typhoons, tornados and other disasters. |

β‘The US still cannot get its astronauts back to earth due to Boeing technical problems. (The US used to rely on Russia to ferry its astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS)). "What was meant to be a one-week stay in space for astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore is now extending into what could be a month-long vacation or more, as NASA and Boeing officials announced Friday that the beleaguered Starliner capsule's return to Earth has to be delayed once again. The Starliner, which has been docked at the International Space Station (ISS) since June 6, was scheduled to return to Earth about a week later as part of a test to see if it could smoothly send astronauts back and forth from the station. Instead, as announced at a joint Boeing and NASA press conference June 18, the craft had to stay put initially because of failing reaction control thrusters and helium leaks. Boeing announced in a mission update Friday that officials are extending the delay of the mission to "to review propulsion system data."

Masterviolence:Facts are facts especially when they define the reality of something. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Appleyard(m): 5:02pm On Jun 23, 2024 |
Masterviolence:Plus some drones are stealthy, making them highly difficult to detect thereby doubling the possibility of realizing the close proximity target we are talking about. |

Appleyard:Of course, Obeideince40 needs to calm down and agree to this new reality ![]() But then again will it be possible with the Carrier operating far from the shore. |

Vic2023:I laugh out loud reading Denmark contemplating limiting Russian ships transiting the Baltic sea. It would give Russia the legitimate right to target and destroy their ships at sea with Russian subs. If they think NATO would come to their aid, then I have a mountain to sell them. |

Masterviolence:Iran without nukes is still an impossible mission for the USA and baby Israel...in any event of war Israel won't survive it and the USA will be bodied. The only reason the USA hasn't invaded Iran is the FACT that it will destabilize the entire region and anyone who dares to give the USA a corridor for engagement. Coming in by sea will be costly in equipment and human resources. Americans don't like seeing body bags. War in Iran is the definition of HELLFIRE |

sainttwist1: Argument like this gets me livid. We are talking about: Lunch, Detection and Interception. What is the correlation between this topic and the numbers of airplanes an airport can accomodate? There's obviously no link to this topic of debate. The only link I can think of, is you trying everything in you to travel out. Visa, Airport and Abroad ![]() |

Obedience40: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. |
