Re: Tactics and Strategy at the Strait of Hormuz (4.00 / 2)

Well one thing that has to be said, is that the performance figures are possibly from US arms manufacturers who wish to exagerate the performance so the latest whiz-bang defence technology can be sold in reverse. I'm not saying that that is the case, but both sides during the cold war had a consistent strategy of emphasizing the others military capabilities to sell thing so their own sides and populace.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

This is the US saying that it has no defence against China's weapons.

Unless it's a version of the legendary "missile gap" between the US and the USSR that the US had to close.
