If the missel cannot steer to hit a moving target it's going to have a hard time hitting anything at sea.

The Vulkans are anti-ship missiles, yes, they can hit moving targets today at about 2-3 mach. Those are considered supersonic, both China and Russia are developing hypersonic anti-ship missiles. But all that is immaterial, as seen in this war those large ships are venerable to drones both air and water based, let alone sub-drones that are underdevelopment. (see this thread for details, as there many examples of these large vessels being outdated for new warfare)



Large vessels are generally outdated at this point i.e. venerable.

United States ships will burn too, just like the Abrahams burn. There are no wonder weapons, all of these large expensive systems become less valuable in a real war.



Why even talk about hypersonic, they're venerable to slow drones, as seen in this thread, now add a nuclear reactor.



Things will have to generally be smaller and cheaper in a real war, as all of these things are venerable to relatively cheap weapons. All of this was pointed out by Congress as far as tactical nuclear weapons back in the 90s, which I have previously posted multiple times. Same concept here.

Most likely true, its been about 30 years since I been to Eastern Europe but even most of those cities were above metro areas in the United States let alone Russia. I would say Europe is a mix bag but again its been a long time since I have been, I lived there for a few years. Paris for example is a dump, other than the tourist areas.... if you get off of the metro at the wrong stop.... well good luck. United States cities are dumps. I liked Amsterdam at the time, and even some Germany's bigger cities could be nice. I was not really impressed by most stuff in Spain or Italy.

I sometimes watch Alex Christoforou videos, I think he lives in Cyprus but he did a tour of many Russian cities if I remember correctly about 6 months ago. They were very pretty cities with tons of planning... nothing like that in the United States at scale. I would probably compare it to some of the cities in Switzerland/Austria at least from video. He would just walk for miles and miles and it was the same everywhere. With that said, I'm sure there are bad areas.



Its actually quite amazing what they have been able to build in some of the harasses condition in the world. Now, once you go rural than its going to be poorer and less service due to the conditions. Water for example is a problem due to the cold conditions so that really hampers life.

I'm sure there are abandoned towns and cities as well but to me as far as their larger cities, I have seen anything like they have here.
