Recently, Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, publicly expressed for the first time his anxiety about the long-range precision strike force and "area denial" capability of the Chinese rocket force in the face of a reporter's question, at a distance of 1500 nautical miles from Chinese mainland, the Chinese rocket force can completely sink the Nimitz aircraft carrier, we are studying response strategies and studying defensive weapon systems every day, fools will not worry, if I don't want to be beaten I should do something.
Dongfeng Express, the mission will be achieved. The Dongfeng series hypersonic missiles installed by the Chinese rocket force cannot be intercepted by the current anti-missile system with excellent maneuverable orbit change capabilities, and the US Navy senior management regards the Dongfeng series anti-ship missiles as the ultimate threat, and US experts have also frankly said that no country in the world can intercept them. This time the US Navy will be able to say so frankly that it is completely exposed to the strike range of the Rocket Force is the first time, and being recognized by the opponent may be the best interpretation of the strength of the Rocket Force, at least from the perspective of the US military, it can prove that the PLA's aircraft carrier killer is not empty words. At present, the PLA is carrying out simulated strikes on the Nimitz aircraft carrier target in the desert, and the PLA's control and use of the Dongfeng series missiles has been comfortable with ease, and the strike accuracy has also been controlled within a considerable range of 100 meters.
At present, it seems that it is taking off from the closest Guam base to China, and no carrier-based aircraft has the range to approach Taiwan without using aerial refueling, and even the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in the US aircraft carrier strike group need to be closer to launch missiles at any military force attacking Taiwan.
The US military frankly said that the size of the Chinese Navy has increased 10 times in the past 20 years, the quality and lethality are also constantly improving, the development of the Chinese Navy has far exceeded the expectations of the US military, China's powerful shipbuilding capacity is no longer comparable to the active US military shipyards, the number of new ships of the US Navy has far less than the speed of decommissioning of ships, the US Navy's active aircraft carrier strike groups are still the products of the Cold War period of the last century, and the existing shipyards in the United States are already operating at full capacity for daily ship maintenance alone.
