This Is Why America's Doesn't Have 'Carrier Killer' Ballistic Missiles Like China's
China’s spending on anti-ship ballistic missiles may be misplaced, and not quite what is needed should a conflict between the United States and China break out, according to American Vice Adm. Jeffrey Trussler.
Trussler referenced several of China’s ballistic missiles, several of which have made headlines as “carrier-killers,” essentially large, long-range anti-ship missiles that could in theory strike—and sink—large targets like American aircraft carriers.
The U.S. Navy has kept a close eye in recent years on two of the Chinese missiles in particular, the Dong Feng-21, a medium range, road-mobile ballistic missile that is nuclear capable and has a 2,000+ kilometer range, as well as the Dong Feng-26, essentially a longer range variant of the DF-21. Development of the DF-26 has been especially worrying, as it very likely has the necessary range to strike most American assets in the eastern Pacific Ocean, including far-flung places like the new Marine Corps base on Guam.
