SCMP: Chinese scientists war-game hypersonic strike on US carrier group in South China Sea
* Military planners conclude the Gerald R. Ford and its fleet could be destroyed 'with certainty' in rare published report
* The researchers said 24 hypersonic anti-ship missiles were used to sink the US Navy's newest carrier and its group in 20 simulated battles
Hypersonic weapons could be "catastrophic" for the most potent aircraft carrier group in the US fleet, according to war game simulations run by a team of military planners in China.
Over 20 intense battles, Chinese forces sank the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier fleet with a volley of 24 hypersonic anti-ship missiles, in a simulation run on a mainstream war game software platform used by China's military.
In the scenario, the US vessels are attacked after continuing to approach a China-claimed island in the South China Sea despite repeated warnings.
A paper detailing the war game was published in May by the Chinese-language Journal of Test and Measurement Technology. It is the first time the results of simulated hypersonic strikes against a US carrier group have been made public.

24 Nukes would sink china
How would that help improve the ROI on a carrier group?
I rarely hear a country telling it is inferior of the enemy. The PLA is not the only one to say things like that, I can do it myself too: in a personal simulation the entire navy of China was sunk in less than 1 day with a secret weapon that China doesn't know.
China be careful what you wish.

WNU EDITOR: HATE TO SAY IT, BUT I THINK YOU GO BACK TO THE NO COMMENTS ALLOWED FORMAT. BETTER THEN THE SHIT SHOW THIS HAS BECOME. PLEASE DISABLE COMMENTS
the Biden regime designates YOUR THOUGHTS as part of the government infrastructure. They call it the “cognitive infrastructure” and they believe that they have the right to control it.
