No, did you?

The Kursk was testing rocket torpedos when it sank. The Idea of fast
rocket torps is not really novel anymore. As is neither the idea that
a carrier is prone to a ballistic missile attack, even with a concrete
payload, phalanx or no.

The wing in ground effect skimmer is at the toy stage now. If they
think it's a big advance, perhaps they (or we) have missed something,
like remote piloting, or something?

Fear not, big heads are pressed together over this.

Pride goeth before the fall, as I recall.

Humility is the best weapon. The best defense is to give no offence
amongst friends. (At least until the gullible *******s have their backs
turned, eh?)

Who's trustworthy?

The 'idea' of fast 'rocket' torpedoes isn't new but getting one to work reliably
certainly is. Also, the idea that a fast moving inert torpedo, or any but the
biggest torpedoes, is likely to seriously damage a bird farm is preposterous.
They carry nukes and are armored accordingly.
