Originally posted by drhuy View Postwhat i was trying to say is not about technical aspect but about operational one. You seem to indicate that by using quantity (salvo) one can overcome the fleet defense. so I reminded you that USN has much higher number of both platforms and weapons, both offensive and defensive, against russian fleet.
The fact that the leading missile lifts up makes little sense coz they still need midcourse update anyway, the onboard radars only work in the final phase no matter how high it flies.
Yes, carriers are physically big, but it doesnt necessarily mean they will stand out clearly, especially from hundred miles away. When the Argentine hit the Atlantic Conveyor, they first thought they got one of the british carriers.
After all, its all about system vs. system.
P-700's operate in temporary network, distributing targets between them and developing tactic of attack according to program loaded before launch. A P-700 can define the type of a ship it "sees" and the formation it's in, i.e. whether it's a convoy or a carrier group. The main computer of missile is still evolving, the software is improving day by day.
My point is ship not equipped with AEGIS can't defeat a P-700, it's formidable weapon against single ship, almost unstoppable. A salvo of P-700's is even more dangerous.We're so bad, we're even bad at it

Only one P-700 in a salvo goes subsonic on high profile trajectory. If it hit, another one lifts up from low profile. The rest go 20 feet above the surface in silence at mach 2+
Again, I'm happy we'll never know how efficient AEGIS is

Yes indeed true that the super hornet could be effective in Air Superiority, while its superior in A2A combat, it has the best slow speed handiling characteristics in a dogfight.
