Two Distress Calls: UK Navy Reports Crew Abandoned Ship In Gulf Of Aden, Kamikaze Drone Attack In Red Sea | ZeroHedge



Sounds like one vessel will make it, maybe not the second one.

Naval warfare will change drastically over the next decade.

No it won’t clown. If those toy Houthi drones get any where near a US armed combatant they will get popped immediately by Phalanx CIWS. An anti ship missile like Harpoon or Exocet is a much more serious threat and they’ve been around for decades.

So they successfully attacked “merchant” vessels? lol impressive

Its the beginning, from cheap to fairly cheap weapon systems to moderately cheap weapon systems. One hypersonic can take out a whole carrier which isn't exactly cheap to underwater drones that can be relatively cheaply made.

To be able to defend this from a commercial or military vessel becomes problematic as things move forward.

It shouldn't really be that hard to figure out at this point, I would think it would be fairly obvious. Go over to the Ukraine thread to see the impact of fairly cheap weapon systems on large naval vessels. Yeah, you got ships that don't burn. Kind of like the tanks that don't burn.

"Hey guys, those musket rifles aren't that accurate, what good are they? You only shot the one guy riding the stage coach."

As far as the big guys, there is no real defense at this point meaning hypersonic or even sonic. Large naval war vessels are sitting ducks going forward. Energy weapons can possible be helpful to take out cheap above surface drones but everything else it doesn't really help.

There is a whole economics to the situation as well even with the cheap drones.

the thing you are missing is that they have been large sitting ducks since their invention. Every single carrier that has been taken out in combat was by something a lot smaller and a lot cheaper than them.

plenty of carrier deaths to dumb bombs and dumb torpedos. there have been ship killing missiles for decades, heck lob a nuke at the carrier group and problem solved. hypersonics and drones are just the next round. missile ships have been a thing forever, just like the torpedo ships before them, "anti ship" destroyers far cheaper and numerous than those they are out to sink.

as long as nations need to get from here to there and it goes over water large naval ships will have a presence.

He posts this nonsense as if no aircraft carrier was ever sunk, and that hypersonic missiles will be the first weapons to ever sink a carrier, to to keep it from happening for the "first time", the US will just mothball the carriers.

Why won’t they attack an armed ship? Are goods still moving thru the area or not? And what isn’t going thru the Red Sea is still shipping just going around the horn.

Like MG said it’s going better than your leg humping Russian buddies would like
