Retired US Navy Captain Hendrix: Russian missiles made US aircraft carriers helpless 
Retired US Navy Captain J Hendrix (Jerry Hendrix) spoke about the US aircraft carriers helpless in front of Russian missiles. He stated this in his article for the Wall Street Journal.
According to him, US aircraft carriers have a vulnerability to Russian and Chinese missiles.
The modern capabilities of American warships do not allow them to strike strikes against targets ashore while defensively in place, Hendrix said. He noted that the United States needs to increase its strike range to compete with China and Russia.

“Currently, both China and Russia have acquired effective combat assets, which significantly complicate, if not completely exclude, the possibility of aircraft carrier formations approaching the target territories,” the captain explained, adding that they cannot approach the coast at a distance of less than 1,800 kilometers. which makes them inaccessible to carrier-based fighter-bombers F/A-18.
According to Hendrix, if manned or unmanned long-range aircraft do not appear on the decks of aircraft carriers in the near future, aircraft carrier strike groups will not be able to provide significant influence on the containment of Russia and China.
Earlier in November, 19FortyFive columnist Brent Eastwood described the advantages of Russian ammunition. According to him, the Russian 3M22 Zircon hypersonic anti-ship missile could become a problem for the ships of the US Navy. Eastwood noted that the Aegis Combat Information and Control System (BIUS), which is effective against conventional missiles, but will not be able to intercept hypersonic ammunition, provides protection for American ships.
