Unprecedented disgrace! The mighty US aircraft carrier, facing missile attacks from the Houthis, had no defense and even lost an American military aircraft! According to domestic media reports on April 29, a major accident occurred during the "Theodore Roosevelt" aircraft carrier's air strikes against Houthi armed forces in the Red Sea. An American F/A-18E "Super Hornet" fighter jet was suddenly thrown off the deck of the aircraft carrier due to its rapid maneuvering, plunging into the sea.
Just thinking about such incidents is extremely bizarre. Logically speaking, the aircraft carrier is the core asset of the U.S. Navy, but it had to evade missiles by performing high-speed maneuvers, indicating significant vulnerabilities in its defenses. One question is what kind of missile the Houthi armed forces used that caused such panic among the U.S. aircraft carrier. Another question is why America's reconnaissance systems became useless.
After such an incident, the U.S. military must have been shaken. If the despised Houthi armed forces can make the U.S. aircraft carrier look so embarrassed, one can only imagine the losses the U.S. would suffer if faced with a stronger opponent. Now表面上 it seems that the U.S. is attacking the Houthi armed forces, but who knows if one day the Houthi armed forces might cause the U.S. aircraft carrier to suffer a major setback. This fact proves that U.S. aircraft carriers may not be as powerful as they seem, and the Houthi armed forces have provided new ideas for countries to counter U.S. aircraft carriers.
