The Chinese Submarine That Makes US Aircraft Carriers Obsolete

Описание: In this video, we investigate the Chinese submarine that could make US aircraft carriers obsolete. While America spent trillions building the most powerful naval fleet in history, China quietly developed a fleet of diesel-electric submarines that can sit silently on the ocean floor, waiting for the right moment to strike. We trace how the US let its anti-submarine warfare edge erode after the Cold War, how China studied that weakness, and how Beijing built a submarine force designed specifically to exploit it.
From the shocking 2005 exercise where a Swedish diesel sub penetrated a US carrier strike group undetected, to China's rapid expansion of AIP-equipped Yuan-class submarines, to the development of wake-homing torpedoes that carriers have no proven defense against — we break down why the Pentagon now projects China will field roughly 80 submarines by 2030 and what that means for American power projection in the Pacific.
This is the story of how a submarine costing a fraction of a single US Virginia-class could reshape naval warfare.
