(The cruiser "Moscow" sinks)
Now things have passed, and it is no longer so important to Russia and Ukraine, but the other end of the United States has broken the defense. The US Navy is now worried that if Ukraine's Neptune anti-ship missile really has the ability to sink a 10,000-ton patrol like the "Moscow" , then the amount of information hidden behind it is worth the US military's "reflection". You should know that the Neptune anti-ship missile is just an ordinary low-cost missile system. If only this weapon can be exchanged for the sinking of a flagship, then the United States has to worry about what to do with its own fleet, especially when encountering a "stronger opponent".

US Defense News claims that Ukraine's "Neptune" has a range of only about 200 kilometers, and only has subsonic penetration mode. The warhead is also relatively small, making it difficult to truly hit large warships. In contrast, China's achievements in anti-ship missile technology are far from comparable to Ukraine. For example, China's Dongfeng-21D missile has a strike range of 1,000 miles, while the Dongfeng-26 missile system can reach 2,500 miles. Considering the power of the warhead warhead, the performance of "Dongfeng Express" far exceeds that of "Neptune" in all aspects.

"Ctually" is that when the Navy Day arrived not long ago, the Chinese Navy also cooperated with the media to release a new promotional short film, including the scene of the 055 Large Drive launching a new missile, which also caused heated discussion among netizens. The other end of the American media is speculating that this new missile system may be a model of the "Eagle Strike" series, and it should be a new carrier-based hypersonic ballistic missile.

It can be seen that the United States has seized a series of phenomena, and then began to speculate in all kinds of unreasonable ways and exaggerated panic. In fact, strictly speaking, even if the cruiser "Moscow" was really hit by "Neptune", it was the result of the United States providing intelligence information to Ukraine. Moreover, the "Moscow" itself is very old and its survivability is not strong. The United States has retired a large number of Ticonderoga-class cruisers , because it is not because it realizes that the old ship has insufficient survivability.

The US also took this opportunity to demand the addition of more naval budgets to build a new fleet. Therefore, the United States hyped China's anti-ship technology at this time, which was more like ulterior motives. The United States itself is very clear about the existence and role of anti-ship missiles. The reason why it is used to exaggerate is nothing more than asking Congress for funds. After all, every time the United States asks for money to build weapons, it will bring China as a reason. This situation is actually not uncommon.
