Its more akin to humans vs rats / cockroaches

Humans got all the anti  rats pest technology spray bait poison but still cant get rid of the cockroaches / rat infestation

60+ fighter squadrons and a whole load of bomber squadrons.
11 aircraft carriers.

That's not a capability tasked for anti-terrorism.

Some people can pretend US is a paper tiger. I don't agree that's the reality.

Houthi missle crisis at Red Sea already show US warship wolfpack are aging. So many Destroyer and Aegis Crusier protection group also can't protect the Carrier. Missle near missed the Eisenhower Carrier also making US retired Eisenhower in 2026

Nobody is touting PLA lah. My point is US military is not as good as what a lot of people believe. This failure in hypersonic is the best example. Their military equipment today is getting too expensive and not feasible anymore. People like you keep going on and on about US experience but like I repeatedly point out, they have only fought under equipped people only. People who can't really punch back like China or Russia. It just means that if there is a war between China and US, both are similarly inexperience and untested as both has not fought real conventional war since Vietnam and Korean war. Understand?

The Army confirmed that the first full battery of Dark Eagle missiles will be operational in 2025, following the successful completion of an end-to-end flight test in December 2024 at Cape Canaveral. This test demonstrated the system’s technical readiness and cleared the path for field deployment.

They abandon their hypersonic program without producing anything lah

If that is not failure, I don't know what failure is anymore.

You know what is hypersonic missiles or not?

They abandon and terminate so many programs and that is not failed?

Fail means fail lah

Because no matter what I say, people like you won't accept US failed.

In your eyes, US is Maverick. Old 4th gen plane also can shoot down 6th gen plane. 

They abandon their hypersonic program without producing anything lah

so what are their actual operational hypersonic then, AFAIK US has none actually deployed

ICBMs do not count, since theyre non maneuverable ballistic missiles unlike the modern hypersonics

LRHW was said to be fielded by 2023 but its not even operational or fielded due to delays. so US still have nothing essentially in hypersonic side

mind you this LRHW is even on the "slow" spectrum of hypersonics just barely passing the mach5 requirement

when its actually produced and delivered like the Russians/Chinese hypersonics

cause right now US DOD themselves said while it passed the tests years ago, there are no actual systems ready or deployed at all. you call this operational? kek

theyve been delaying it since 2023 when they said testing phase passed, but now they estimate late 2025 only can deploy kek
