We park our battle groups right in the Persian Gulf..............and take them on............How many ships have these cheap missiles taken out...............Tell that to the iraqi's ..................Who the hell said they can't be hit...................I didn't..............What I'm saying you'd have a hell of a time doing so....................Again you give too much credit to cheap weapons systems..........'Yeah, Amuhrca we can't lose, our ships can never sink, our planes can not be shot down, our tanks cannot be destroyed, yada yada yada.
The defense industry, if you went to visit any one of them, would kiss you straight on the mouth.
As another poster has already stated...........only China and Russia are really a threat to these groups.
You mistake 'cheap' with poor quality. The opposite is the case. Cheap as compared to 13 billion dollars for one asset. But neither the Chinese nor the Russians have inferior missiles.
Its the same scenario as in WW2 with tanks. The German Tiger outclassed everything it faced. The Sherman was crap and the T-34, which was better than the Sherman, was still outclassed as the Tiger was built in response to the T-34.
But the Germans built 1800 of them. The US built 50,000 tanks as did the Russians. It didn't matter how good the Tiger was.
You make no sense.
