The U.S. military's Zumwalt-class destroyers are now internationally recognized as the most flashy presence, spending $7.5 billion in construction, but with the performance of a destroyer comparable to $900 million.
At the same time, the 2 AGS-155 mm naval guns loaded on the Zumwalt-class destroyers could not be found more expensive in the world. From the outside, the two naval guns were so large that they squeezed the missile launchers to the sides of the hull. Even ZumWalt's head of manufacturing, Matthew. Schroeder said he was ready to dismantle the two cannons and install other hypersonic weapon launch systems.
According to Russian media reports, these two AGS-155 naval guns can fire 155 mm guided shells, but as shells, its launch cost is staggering, reaching 800,000 US dollars a piece, although the range is eye-catching, reaching 185 kilometers, and can carry out precision strikes, but as a shell power is really limited. So Matthew. Schroeder means that it is better to install missiles directly, otherwise the cost of missiles will be spent, but the effect of shells will be played, and the cost performance is really not high.
I have to say that the United States is rich, but it has never been a role of people with more stupid money, and Americans have two major characteristics:
First, the interest is supreme
Second, very sensible
Americans are clearly more willing to stay sane and cut spending than mischievous decorations.
However, why the United States was willing to spend $7.5 billion on a Zumwalt-class destroyer is still a mystery. #US #Destroyer ##高超音速导弹 #
