How to protect navy ships in the future from long range missile and air and submarine drone attacks? Navy ships are like sitting ducks! Will they share the fate of knights in shining armor?
There is a paradigm shift in the making! A new arms race is looming!
The Russo-Ukrainian War has already amply demonstrated how sea drones can successfully and effectively decimate the Russian Black Sea navy fleet.
"The idea is to produce a long-range, winged missile that can be launched from a B-1B bomber, an F-18 Super Hornet, an F-35 Tornado 2 Joint Strike Fighter, or ships or submarines equipped with vertical launch systems. Though it can receive information from a command and control network, it can also act on its own or part of a missile team in areas that a hostile force might try to deny entry to. It can not only acquire its target and assess how to attack it, the missile also has its own countermeasures and the ability to take evasive action as necessary."
