USS Carney vs. 14 drones
Posted by Felix C on December 18, 2023, 10:23:15
Read each drone was shot down with a SAM. Also that these drones are throwaway one way type programmed sorties. If both of the above is correct, does the USS Carney and similar vessels have other means to shoot down drones other than a SAM? Also read it is $2million per SAM and storage is limited. Wondering if they can be overwhelmed by a mass attack. Some merchant ships were struck by drone armaments so assuming they are low warhead type of munitions.
