Former CIA Officer Says Iran Can Sink a U.S. Carrier — Is He Right?

Support the channel for only $5 here: https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com Does Iran actually have hypersonic missiles capable of sinking a U.S. aircraft carrier? Former CIA officer John Kiriakou says yes. But is that analysis… or is it hype? In this video, I break down what “hypersonic” really means, the difference between ballistic missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles, how targeting a moving carrier actually works, and why interception is not only possible, it’s expected. We’ll also talk about the physics problem nobody mentions: plasma, heat, tracking, satellite coverage, and why hitting a carrier at Mach 10 isn’t as simple as podcast clips make it sound.
