at 8 o'clock, and I said, I'll be back on at 6 o'clock to do the damage assessment, because that's how long it takes those drones to get there, and I believe we shut all of them down.
These days, we actually have a rocket system, almost look like the old Zuni rocket pods,
You can fit these onto a fighter, and it's a very cheap way of destroying these slow-moving drones.
That is something that the F-18 should have installed.
The F-15 has it installed, if any are flying and doing CAP out of Jordan.
So I think that dealing with the drone threat, especially these slow-moving drones, or maybe a lot of them, we have a lot more ways to kill them now than we did even just two years ago.
Absolutely.
So, boy, the most impressive capability is to put 4.5 acres of sovereign U.S.
territory wherever the hell we want.
I joked before that right now the Arabian Sea is the Sea of America.
That's because whenever we put that carrier, it is essentially a little piece of America that's floating in the middle of the ocean.
Typically, a carrier wing will have four squadrons of fighters.
In the Abraham Lincoln's case, I believe they have one squadron of F-35s and three squadrons of Super Hornets.
They also have six growlers and growlers are extremely important.
These growlers provide electronic warfare and also another capability called C or suppression of enemy air defenses.
So these guys will take off from the carrier and they will essentially play chicken with surface-to-air missile sites.
They'll get close to it, try to get it to turn on.
And as soon as they turn on, they start electronic countermeasures and they fire a missile.
They'll follow that radar beam down to the surface-to-air missile site and blow up the radar.
So essentially, any kind of package, you have the seed aircraft going first.
