Report: Chinese Develop Special "Kill Weapon" to Destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers

Grumbles is the Old Guard...

Well, yes, precisely.  "Grumbler" is simply the English translation of "grognard," which is the nickname for a member of the Old Guard.  That is why I chose it.

Yes, I remember reading that somewhere a long time ago. I'd like to think it was my 'latent knowledge' seeping through, but it was in fact coincidental that I chose that term.

'Young Guard' is sooo 'Old Guard'. 

You sneer at the organization of the Garde Imperiale? YOU SICKEN ME.

I say to you what I said to Brain:

I'm not going to get wrapped around the axle on this one, namely because it's been no secret that the little yellow fucks have been developing mission-kill strategies to prevent the USN from approaching the Taiwan Straits or the Chinese littoral.
I'd be more worried about their developments in ASAT, since US Navy C3I depends upon it.

So why are they trying to develope weapons to destroy our carriers again?  Why would we actually fight a war over anything?

We would fight over the territorial integrity of the sovereign nation of Taiwan.

Grumbler, considering your work on a study of the Soviet use of such weapons, how long would it have taken them to develop an ASBM sophisticated enough to hit with moderate accuracy a CVN? Would they have ever been able to do it? I know computers and satellites were quite limited back in 200 BCE, so let us suppose they tried to do this using technology of the mid to late 80s.

Considering that, how long do you think it would take the Chinese to develop it, using current technology?

Just curious.

People like to kill things, so we're always inventing new ways to do it.

Just curious.

Amended for accuracy.

This should calm you down.

TRUTH

Is it really a worthwhile use of a ballistic missile, to use a conventional warhead?

That it does. That it does. You are a good egg.

That it does. That it does. You are a good egg.

I second the sentiment - though he needs to be wearing his glasses.
