There are five new ways to destroy the aircraft carrier, writes 19FortyFive.
Edition from the United States notes that the aircraft carrier can try to sink by traditional means, for example, with the help of torpedoes and ballistic missiles. However, in the future, according to publication, these ships will face new threats. 19FortyFive calls them.
The first threat – underwater drones capable of standing in the autonomous mode almost unlimited time to wait for suitable conditions for the attack on the ship. The second – kiberataki, which can fail the basic aircraft carrier systems and make it vulnerable to hit the enemy. Third – disposable flying drones. Fourth – hypersonic rockets that combine the threat of ballistic and winged rockets. The fifth is the ability to strike from space.
19FortyFive assures that at present the aircraft carrier is a tool of geopolitical influence, the use of which in the 21st century can remain relevant until the first destruction of a similar ship.
In January in the “military-industrial courier”, Deputy President of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences on Information Policy, Dr. Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov wrote that the Russian hyperzvuki missile “Zirkon”, the declared maximum range of which is 1000 kilometers, can destroy the aircraft carrier The US naval forces, which, “to apply strikes on important objects in the depths of the territory of our country, will be forced to approach our coast at a distance of 450-500 kilometers.”
