Missile defense is hard, even if everything goes according to plan. A small sea skimming object travelling at near wave height means very little reaction time for even the likes of an AEGIS system.
- lambdasquirrel 5y agoNow that you said it, maybe the weapon height of 30ft above sea level was a tad bit too high, given the report of sea state 3. Still, it seems unlikely that the missile would have been that much lower, and that the Moskva "should've" detected it at 10nm out. Which does make you wonder, if the drones had been carrying out electronic warfare, faking radar locks, then that makes things complicated for the Moskva.
