re: Hypersonic missiles - you buying the US doesn’t have them or a defense for them?

They certainly do not and even if they did, they do not have the ability to build or support the actual hardware.

Yall need to think about the logistical requirements of actually using all of this advanced shite. Look up the flight vs service hours for an F22. Its ridiculous, and you must have the trained manpower, the parts availability and the supply chain to support all of that. Keeping an aircraft carrier in service is a tremendous industrial endeavor in itself.

China is certainly on a trajectory to become a global super power, but right now they are the global dollar store. They are nowhere near there yet. If they were, they would have taken Taiwan long ago and dared the world to do something about it.

The ability to fire a missile that will fly hypersonic speed, they certainly have. The ability to actually effectively use them in a meaningful way? I think we are likely the only ones with that capability.
