Aircraft carriers

They've never shot a single plane or missile down. They were a complete flop.

Oh it shot one of their own down and hit one of their own ships. Good stuff.

Remember the Excocet?

That was 28 years ago take a look at this it far superior to the phalanx fully automatic can track,prioritize and destroy upto 50 incoming threat at once

You really think missile/torpedo technology hasn't moved on? It's nothing but a wild west Gatling gun. Is that technology?

Its fully automated it has its own radar system you load it up switch it on and it does the business. 4500 30MM rounds of depleted uranium per minute,yes i call that technology it can track anything from small arms fire upto a fighter jet,it tracks multiple targets and prioritizes them before destroying them.Yes id call that very advanced technology

Remember the Excocet?

do you remember it.... that missile was offered to us and was turned down... the defence of the exocet was made via the uks defence establishments and was turned down as too expensive.....

Torpedo attack? Strategic nuclear attack? It's an automated pea-shooter.

Yup. And nuclear torpedos.

BTW have you never heard of jamming? Even in WW2 there was chaff/window. Any old missile with a solid payload (chunk of iron) is unstoppable but it will still smash fancy guns and make rather large holes in a ship.

Sorry but that makes no sense any old missile is unstoppable but will still smash fancy guns ??? do you mean is stoppable ?

How do you stop a tonne of iron travelling at Mach2?

Smash it into a millon pieces miles from its target. How do you make a tonne of iron travel at mach 2 ? 1000Ibs bombs are normally dropped on static targets.

 

[joe-90]

What are you going to smash it with as it re-enter the atmosphere? A Gattling gun won't hurt a cannonball.

A cannonball that re-enters the atmosphere thats some sort of cannon ,depleted uranium is far harder than iron by the way.

 

[joe-90]

I know it is but a glancing blow from a Gattling gun wouldn't harm a tonne of depleted uranium would it? See what I mean - they are defenceless.

CRam has been more successful I think. The land based version of goalkeeper.
120 mortar attacks zapped protecting American bases.
