When these missiles first came out I discounted the threat.
But think about it.
At this very minute the Chinese could have a couple dozen waiting off shore at any time within range of our bases in San Diego, or Hawaii or wherever you see US Navy ships. International trade and shipping have bright lines in the US. With our enemies not so much. Container ships could be used for preemptive strikes. Land forces could easily come under attack from areas that were unexpected because all intelligence indicated in the area were a few merchant ships.
If the Club K were used creatively and to maximum effect it could prove to be one of the most devastating weapons on the planet.
This missile could herald an age of unrestricted warfare like we've never seen. Answer this for me. How do you conduct precision strikes on a target when its effectively camo'ed up to look like the same container that is used to ship over Nike running shoes?
