The U.S. Navy is now carrying out a mission called "escort" in the Red Sea, the purpose is to prevent a large number of merchant ships from being attacked by the Houthis in Yemen, with the escalation of contradictions in Gaza, the United States has been fueling the fire, the Houthis in Yemen have been attacking American and Israeli ships, and recently the United States is also hyping up the achievements of the Arleigh Burke-class frigates in the Red Sea, although many of them are due to intercepting drones, but the Arleigh Burke destroyer has repeatedly failed, Because the Arleigh Burke frigate only allowed a few drones or missiles to hit merchant ships, and now, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer was almost hit by Houthi anti-ship missiles.

According to the latest intelligence from the Houthis and the CIA, the U.S. ** command said that the U.S. Arleigh Burke-class DDG107 Arleigh Burke-class guided missile intercepted an anti-ship missile from the Houthis in Yemen during its mission in the Red Sea, but the Yemeni Houthis claimed that the Houthi missile hit the United States, although the U.S. side denied this fact. It is reported that this time the United States released information that the Houthi missile was shot down one kilometer away near the US Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer DDG107, and this time, the missile was hit by the close defense guns on a US ** ship, and the US Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyers are equipped with dense close defense guns, which is also the last line of defense on the US ** ship.

The United States has always used the MK-41 vertical launcher on the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to intercept the Houthi anti-ship missiles and drones, and the United States has also been boasting about its air defense capabilities, as a result, the Houthi missiles almost broke through the defensive line, and Arleigh Burke and his frigate survived, which also proves that the Burke-class is not a legend, and now the United States has also noticed that the Houthi missiles can approach the US ** ship so closely, which is worrying.

Air defense missiles are the last barrier on the US ** ship, and if even the air defense missiles cannot intercept it, I am afraid that the Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer will also be blown up. When the Houthis attacked the US ship, the Houthis did not saturate it, and the Houthi missiles were not very powerful, but the United States almost failed to block the Houthi missiles.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers are part of the U.S. Navy's operational plan, and the Arleigh Burke-class also takes on the air defense mission against carrier attack formations. The United States has always boasted about the strength of its Arleigh Burke-class frigates, and the United States believes that if there are enough Arleigh Burke-class frigates, it is impossible for the opponent's air defense system to break through, and the United States also believes that the Arleigh Burke-class frigates can withstand all kinds of missiles of the People's Liberation Army, but now, the Burke-class frigates of the United States have almost been blown up by the anti-ship missiles of the Yemeni Houthi forces, let alone against the anti-ship missiles of the PLA.
