Ha ha ha!!! The "experts" of Global Time are as good as my under wares. DF..something have never been tested on a as good as possible scenario as any country (even China) do it for being a "qualified" reliable one. The best "anti aircraft carrier" is submarine. USSR try and left, USA did too and left too. What is amazing is China which needs the other countries technology is....doing better. Give me a break.
Submarines are an alright countermeasure to carriers but they still need to either surface to launch their missiles or get inside the carrier group's security bubble to fire torpedos. Much much simpler to just launch two hypersonics and bear no risk at all.
Of course the Chinese can counter air craft carriers. So can even the French. One nuke placed even badly a mile away and the carrier fleet is gone. 60s technology.
The sad thing is we wouldn't have to be so close to war if the Chinese would be brave and speak out against what the CCP does. But they do not. They're blind. So be it
