In reaction to the article by Valentin Vasilescu revealing that in theory Russia could sink US airplane carriers as they crossed the Gibraltar straits, the Pentagon has had a documentary published through CNBC. The US news channel\u2019s thesis is that Russian missile Avangard would not be able<\/strong> to operate.<\/strong> However, to our minds, the basis for this assertion does not work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have addressed the subject of the new Russian hypersonic missiles in the two previous articles\u00a0[1<\/a>]. We wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe probability of destroying an airplane carrier with these two types of hypersonic missile, piercing the AA defense is 88%. This means that, if 100 hypersonic missiles are launched, 88 will pierce the AA defences and destroy their targets.<\/p>\n

Applying the math to the specific case of the United States: if 11 Russian hypersonic missiles are launched against the 11 existing US airplane carriers, only 1.3 missiles would fail to reach their targets.\u201d

My conclusions from this were as follows:
\u2022 if the US attacked South Russia (the coast of the Black Sea), Russian hypersonic missiles could destroy a US naval group at Gibraltar.
\u2022 if the US attacks the North and West of Russia (the Baltic Sea and the Arctic Ocean), the Russian hypersonic missiles could destroy a US naval group in East Greenland. Of course, these are purely theoretical calculations that could be excluded by the specific conditions in which war was actually conducted.<\/p>\n

Following the publication of these two articles, CNBC, the US TV Channel, published a declaration made by an anonymous person who claimed to have seen a US Intelligence Report\u00a0[2<\/a>]. This anonymous person declared that the…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
