This hasn’t really been real-world tested against hardened targets like an American carrier battle group either. Against manned aircraft the group’s many layers of defenses are well known and extremely hard. Has it ever been attacked by 1000 cheap drones at once that fly no more than 20ft above sea level? What about multiple waves of them? Aegis destroyers firing missiles that cost $300k a piece are great against MiGs that cost a few million each. Against a drone that costs $500-1000…idk. CIWS systems can down a few drones but they’ll run out of ammo against large waves.

I don’t think a swarm like that could carry enough ordnance to actually sink a carrier even if they made it that far in. But there’s a large difference between sinking it and doing nothing. Even temporarily suspending flight operations is a huge accomplishment if you can get it done for $100k.

I’m sure the Pentagon has run simulations on this but the way the world is going I think we’re going to witness a real world test relatively soon.

I mostly agree but I mean it’s not like they were trying to destroy art or suggesting that all art should be destroyed. There’s plenty of unprotected art in the Louvre. In the same room as the Mona Lisa There’s a huge painting on the opposite wall that’s arguably more interesting than whatever view of the Mona Lisa you can get from 6 ft back and they didn’t go after it. They’re trying to get attention, like most protests.

That’s my guess.

How do your guesses usually pan out? What’s your track record?

Why are you acting like you wouldn’t immediately pivot and begin justifying it if Isreal did carpet bomb Gaza?

No part of that is relevant to your absurd claim .

When that doesn’t happen I can definitely guarantee that you will learn nothing and pretend like you never held this moronic opinion.

You should type more words , that’ll definitely make Putin less shit.

Defending everywhere requires more units than attacking anywhere.

Finnish opinion polls had NATO membership at less than 50 percent for decades, until the Ukraine war when it became far more popular. Putin has no one to blame but himself.

Israel can never really lose US government support. It’s too well entrenched. The most they’ll ever get is lukewarm support instead of full throated support (while military and financial aid is unimpeded in either case) and even that Israel will call antisemitic.
