WSJ: Russian missiles render American aircraft carriers helpless

The author focuses on & nbsp; the fact that & nbsp; modern capabilities of American warships do not & nbsp; allow them to strike at targets & nbsp & np; ; shore.

To compete with the PRC and Russia, the United States needs to increase the range of strikes, he said.

“ Now both & nbsp; China and & nbsp; Russia have acquired effective weapons, which significantly complicate, if not at all & nbsp; exclude the possibility of approaching aircraft carrier formations to & nbsp; target territories & raquo;, & nbsp; & mdash; recognizes Hendrix.

The latter are not & nbsp; able to approach the shore & nbsp; at a distance of less than 1,800 kilometers, which & nbsp; makes it inaccessible to & nbsp; carrier-based F/A-18 fighter-bombers, & nbsp; he explained.

According to the & nbsp; opinion of a retired military man, if in the near future manned or unmanned long-range aircraft do not appear on & nbsp; decks of aircraft carriers, the strike groups will not & nbsp; be able to significantly influence the & nbsp; containment of Russia and & nbsp; China.

p> The American edition of Defense One previously noted that & nbsp; the Russian army is in & nbsp; best in & nbsp; last decades, and & nbsp; deepening strategic coordination between Moscow and & nbsp; Beijing undermines Washington's advantage.
