Chinese Bombers STRUCK USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Bashi Channel

Six YJ-12 supersonic cruise missiles, three H-6K bombers, one carrier strike group — and the Bashi Channel just became the most contested 120 nautical miles on the planet. What happens when China's premier anti-ship strike package targets America's most powerful carrier and comes within 1,900 meters of erasing it — and nobody in Washington wants to say what happened next. Earlier this week, USS Theodore Roosevelt and her escorts ran the full math on modern carrier defense: SM-6 intercepts from USS Mobile Bay, SeaRAM engagement off the port sponson, and one MQ-25 Stingray tanker that took the hit nobody talks about. Then four F-22 Raptors out of Kadena, running emissions control, turned the equation around in 29 minutes. Full breakdown: YJ-12 terminal seeker mechanics, SM-6 engagement geometry, SeaRAM close-in response window, F-22 strike package employment under EMCON, Leiyang bomber apron architecture, MQ-25 force multiplication — and the cost asymmetry that will define the next escalation cycle. Every system named. Every decision timed. Every number converted into what it actually means. #usa #china #navyfirestorm⚡ Welcome to Navy Firestorm! ⚡ 🚢 Daily military news: navy, air force, and global conflicts. 📅 New videos every day! 🔔 Subscribe & turn on the bell — don’t miss the action! 🙏 Help me reach my first 10 subscribers ❤️ 👉    / @navyfirestorm
