Are U.S. Aircraft Carriers Sitting Ducks in the Mediterranean?
Summary
➡ Aircraft carriers are vulnerable to drones and other unmanned projectiles due to an inadequate Aegis system and the potential threat of hypersonic missiles, which they have no defense against. Moreover, their practical use is questionable, as they can only launch aircraft and cruise missiles targeting Palestinians.

Are the aircraft carriers sitting ducts for drones and other unmanned projectiles? Yes. They don’t have a very robust the Aegis system, which is really not a very good air defense system. And if somehow Iran, for example managed to get it his hands on a hypersonic missile, there is no defense at all for the carrier strike group against a hypersonic missile. It is a carrier killer. And then you’ve got to step back and say apart from this is like some muscled up guy taking off his shirt and oiling up and then flexing muscles at a show know? What is the carrier actually going to do practically? Well, all it could do is launch aircraft and cruise missiles that would hit and kill Palestinians.
