To take over third world countries and hong kong and taiwan perhaps.Because we have basically the same stuff. The fact is that a carrier is only effective against a third world country like Afghanistan. The last credible threat to any carrier was japan in ww2Not all loaded for release in one single second and if needed a real enemy could launch 1000 simultaneously. Seriously russia does not rely on carriers for this reason as they have only 1.even aircraft carriers themselves are obsolete as they have no means to shoot down 100 or more anti ship missiles simultaneously.
Carve it in stone
Carrier battle groups carry roughly three times as many anti missile missiles as that.
And there is approximately no chance the launch platforms for 100 missiles would manage to get within range of a U.S. carrier in war time. The entire reason for the F-14 Tomcat and Pheonix missiles was built around intercepting Soviet bombers before they could launch.
They wouldn't even have to be shot down. If Soviet bombers detected missiles locking onto them they would jettison their missiles in order to be able to take evasive action.Russia’s New Hypersonic Missile Travels Nearly Two Miles a Second
“Zircon” would likely be unstoppable by today’s cutting edge air defenses.www.popularmechanics.com
1.7 miles per second. No carrier has a lifespan over an hour
And what makes you think the Russians are telling the truth? They have a long history of making extravagant claims about weapons systems and other technologies that have no basis in reality. Russia isn't like the U.S. where entire legions of congressional and media critics line up to hold people accountable for weapons systems claims.
Then why is china building them?
Partially. But it is also a truism that aircraft carriers project power like nothing else on earth. And guess what, there are already hypersonic missile interceptors out there. Have been for a long time. And they are very, very effective. One of them is tested by shooting down artillery shells.
