I think the Chinese Mach 10 Yj-21 hypersonic missile should send pretty much any carrier group to hell if they have 2 or 3 of the type 055 destroyers launching them at once.
Given any carrier battles probably happening in the Tawain strait I’d expect the land based and fighter based missiles would be launched as well so yeah I give the US really no chance of winning that one as things stand.
I think the US badly needs the same type of missile but they seem to be only getting failures, I read earlier in the week they’d cancelled another (Halo).
Don’t get me wrong I’m sure the US could launch enough of their own LRASMs (stealth anti ship missile) to do some damage back but they’d likely not survive to see the result or get that many planes airborne to launch them.
