TNs have a kill radius of less than 1 kilometer and would normally be delivered via a cruise missile or aircraft for which there are good defenses. If you got a warning for that incoming the advice was to squat down on flexed knees with your head between your knees - and kiss your ass goodbye. Old joke. Carriers are not invulnerable but neither are fixed bases, and fixed bases are not available in many parts of the world. Nobody is claiming that fixed bases are invulnerable. |
