I was over at Sipsey Street Irregulars, reading about the new weapon in China's arsenal, thinking it was surely nothing we couldn't handle. How sophisticated could a Chinese missile be, after all?
Low RADAR profile, sophisticated guidance, 2,000km range and oh yeah: MACH FRIKKEN 10 cruising speed.
Well, they have been stealing our secrets for quite some time now. . .
At mach 10, it's 12 minutes to 2km (or something like that) and you had better be pretty quick with the catcher's mitt if you want to knock that puppy down before it knocks you down.
. . .and in this case "you" is a United States Navy aircraft carrier. Poof. 6,000 men and several squadrons of aircraft gone, just like that. The greatest force projector in the history of Earth has an equal, and it appears to be a modified Chinese DF-21 missile.
Great.
Gee, I guess it's a good thing we have such a cracker-jack team in the State department right now. Oh, wait. . .
