That's awesome. I would have liked to see the end of their flight. |

LOL. The video has been on the youtubes for two years. I think the enemy has seen it by now. Quoted:

If it is marked as "For Official Use Only" released to US Gov't and Licensed Contrators, WTF are you posting it here? "In todays news, China was said to be scrapping plans to armor ships with single layers of conex boxes...Chinese Admiral was heard to utter a snarled "Curses, Foiled again!" in Chinese, while clenching his fist at about chest level and sneering." |

Overpenetration. Needs a hollow point You can put whatever warhead you want on it. You want shape charge with thermobaric follow-on? You want submunitions? You want hull penetrator with HE? Imagine that blasting through the ship's hull and through the fuel cells, for example. |

I used to have a video game where you chased a cruise missile in a jet and had to shoot them down. I thought it was just video game stuff. This makes me wonder if its possible. Happened in WW2 first IIRC spitfire pilots would nudge V-1's off course with their wingtips. I have always assumed they would use their wingtip to lift the missile's wingtip and roll the thing until its gyro hit a hard stop. It's always seemed a risky maneuver but the things presented a small target and I suspect ammunition was precious at that point in the war. Too bad there were no smart phones back then, can you imagine some of the footage we would have? |

That's actually not a terrible representation of a modern vessel. There is zero hope of armoring a ship against a modern AShM anyway. |
