    Default Our carriers are so screwed

    If these sheep humpers can do this to main battle tanks, imagine what the Chinese and Russia have in store for our aircraft carriers when the shit pops off...

    That's 1980s US tech right there.

    I would have thought that you could pretty much roam around in a big tank at will over there. I believe I would take my chances on the hoof before getting into one of those roman candles...

    Netflix has a good series on called Age of Tanks.
    It ends by pretty much saying they are now obsolete.

    I think carriers must be obsolete as well. If a large scale war starts, it will just be a race to see whether it comes from below, straight above, or skimming along the waves. They won't survive the first day...

    I would imagine a carrier battle group can emit enough radiation to make drones pretty useless. I am waiting for one of these jihadi's to weaponize one, as they have done in the ME, and use it here against civilian targets like the one coming up. Dropping those mortar rounds by drones was more effective than I thought it was going to be...

    The next war will be the human race versus the self aware juggernaut known as skynet. Thanks 23 and me.

    Well, we can be proactive, and pass a law banning them. Problem solved, what's next?

    Shee-it. TOWs and AT-4/5s have been ruining the day of those fat fuckin' tankers for going on 50 years. Every time the tanks get some type of upgraded armor the rocket scientists make a missile that can defeat it.
