... that number. This was a moment of clarity from Hegseth--he didn't pull those numbers out of his ass, he had them discussed in his military environment. This is omega--mathematical expectation: 15 hypersonic weapons against 10 carriers.
We are still waiting for photos from Yuzhmash--there is a reason they are not made public, while all kinds of people calculate energies of Oreshnik. The main question, however, is--what comes next, and it is coming. And it is going to be even more terrifying than 3M22 Zircon, or Kinzhal or even Oreshnik. So, Omega for a hypersonic weapon, the average number of missiles required to destroy US Navy's CVN is 15/10 = 1.5 missiles. Let's be prudent and round it to 2. That tells you everything you need to know about the global balance of power.
