The B-2 can carry the Quicksink anti-ship missile now. Hello Chinese shipyards.
This was tested near Russia's European backyard:
The U.S. Air Force, alongside Norwegian aircraft, sank a maritime target last week with a new precision-guided bomb in the service’s latest effort to integrate anti-ship munitions amid naval threats from Russia and China.
But the real impact will be in the Pacific where the ability to more easily hit Chinese shipyards could be a vital balance to China's sea power industrial advantages:
America can't build, maintain, or repair enough ships to match China's shipyard capacity. Perhaps the most important thing the military can do if a war begins is use its geographic position off the coast of China to smash China's shipyards and ports.
So we've got Quicksink on long-range bombers going for us. Which is nice.
