| China simulates hypersonic missile attack on US fleet: Secret lab claims warships can be wiped out using three low-flying satellites to jam radar - and only 28 would be needed for a GLOBAL ASSAULT |

[Daily Mail, where America get its news]
In a research paper published in the Chinese journal Shipboard Electronic Countermeasures in December, scientist Liu Shichang described a computer-simulated attack on the US fleet. The team launched missiles at a US aircraft carrier from 750 miles away and used low-flying satellites to block the ship's radars, so it couldn't detect the missiles until they were just 30 miles away. Based on the study, they concluded that three satellites would be enough to attack an aircraft carrier group, while just 28 satellites would enable a 'global strike', according to the South China Morning Post. Liu wrote: 'Commanding height has always been a pivotal tactic in war since ancient times. Liu works at the secretive Science and Technology on Electronic Information Control Laboratory. According to the South China Morning Post, the lab works on electronic warfare equipment for the Chinese military, under the state-owned China Electronics Technology Group Corporation. |

| #8 Now now, let them have their delusions right up to actually trying it. Then they will have their "Oh crap" moment when return fire hits the Three Gorges Dam:p |

| #7 @2 not a huge, huge problem. We have multiple ground and satellite radars covering the Pacific and it would be hard as hell to jam the Aegis system. The missile launches would be picked up nearly instantly by IR satellites, tracked by multiple radars and speed, altitude and track would be calculated in under 30 seconds. It would matter if the ships radars are blind because the US has a data linked system that can use other sources to track. Not only would the fleet see it, they would kill it pretty quick. The SM-6s could be launched and the F-35s can grab their control and guide them into the attacking missiles even if the Aegis system couldn't see them. Better just to EMP the entire fleet, then nuke 'em. |

| #6 Even though it was great practice, I found that I always win when I play chess against myself. |

| #5 It was probably also a dumb idea for the Chinee to reveal that tactic. What is the point of having a doomsday device if you don't tell the world? The Chicoms are letting the USN know what it will be up against when a Chinese blockage goes up around Taiwan and they dare the USN to come do something about it. In the meantime, our Navy is focused on pronouns and DIEing. |

| #4 ...Remember always two things about the battle of Midway: 1) The Japanese wargamed it before the actual operation, and got their backsides handed to them. They ignored that. 2) Every few years, the Naval War College wargames the battle. They have never yet recreated an American victory. Mike |

| #3 It was probably also a dumb idea for the Chinee to reveal that tactic. Picking up some bad habits from infiltrating the Pentagone, are they? |

| #2 This is a huge problem, offset just a bit by the fact that while the satellites are jamming the carrier's radars, all those Aegis destroyers are watching and can target the satellites with SM-6 missiles. |

| #1 Except it leads to the standard Dr. Strangelove ending. |
