Iran Buys China's "Carrier Killer": Can the U.S. Stop the CM-302?

Video Description

The Middle East military buildup is accelerating rapidly. In the last 24 hours, U.S. F-35s and F-22s have moved into the region. But the real game-changer? Reuters reports that Iran is close to finalizing a deal with China for the CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missile—a Mach 3 "carrier killer" In this episode, we dive deep into the specs of the Chinese CM-302 missile. With a 550-pound warhead, sea-skimming flight profile, and terminal active radar seeker, it compresses the reaction time for U.S. destroyers to almost zero. We look at the U.S. Navy's primary defense—the SM-6 missile—and analyze the IRGC's recent coastal drills, which state TV explicitly called preparation for a U.S. strike. 🔸Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8gLFapmHedK1TvsStG5Cuw/join🔸 🔺 Grab our free newsletter for insights into aviation, defense, and geopolitics - https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletter 🔺 🇺🇸 Support Veterans in Their Time of Need or Apply for Help: http://gunsgarin.com/rain 🇺🇸 --- 🎙️ Sponsor Links🎙️ Scrub Your Info from Data Brokers & Protect Yourself | https://aura.com/afterburn 14-day free trial Launch your aviation career: https://bogidope.com/?bd=rain Recorded on Riverside.fm https://www.riverside.fm/?via=afterburn ---- ✈️ Afterburn Podcast Links ✈️ Support The Afterburn Podcast for on Patreon and gain early access and AD Free episodes.
