China tests new hypersonic missile to attack US Navy, destroys aircraft carrier in simulation drills6

Firstpost  

The most fearsome aircraft carrier group of the United States, which was previously thought to be immune to conventional weapons, may reportedly be “destroyed with certainty” by a certain number of hypersonic strikes, according to a recent set of war game simulations conducted by Chinese military planners. The report claimed that the Chinese military showcased remarkable prowess with their sophisticated launch strategy, employing a complex three-wave attack to outsmart the US carrier group’s formidable defense systems. However, the South China Sea-focused war game simulation suggests that this area might end up being a flashpoint for warfare between Chinese and US naval troops. However, if the information used in the war game simulation on Chinese hypersonic missiles dramatically differs from reality, it could degrade the simulation’s accuracy and lead to false conclusions.
