Imagine how interesting this could get if the Ruskies have the capability to knock down freshly launched Tomahawks with ships positioned between US ships and the coast?
After all - Tomahawks are not that fast.
The Kirovs carry twelve octuple S-300F launchers with 96 missiles, and a pair of Osa-MA batteries with 20 missiles each.
If “Peter The Great” is in the area, she has the new Russian Anti-ballistic missile, as well.
Obama will sit with his political advisors to see if there is any upside to his fragile ego if he escalates this to war. If not he’ll run like the transgender queen he is. Otherwise he’ll start WWIII along with all his 60’s peacenik advisors. 200,000,000 will die in that region. Someone will set off a nuke and there will be a chain reaction.
