Re: How Do You Sink A Carrier?
Soviet Naval planners task at least 1 Backfire regiment to have a chance at striking the carrier. If the carrier is caught unawares, then it is in deep trouble. If the Back fire strike is caught before it can launched, it will be destroyed.
As for slowing down a ballistic missile warhead to make it more accurate, it defeats the purpose of using it (high speed making it harder to intercept).
...I hear it requires at least 7 AS-6 Kingfish ASM's or 5 650mm torps....Pretty tall order.....
