But are those "nations not named Russia and China" realistically going to be able to do anything to a destroyer like this? Could they have realistically done anything to the previous generation of destroyers? It seems (to my uninformed eye) that these upgraded destroyers are almost comical in how far ahead of the technology that any adversary has (once again, those not named China and Russia).
