Take another look at the U.S. Air Force’s Rapid Dragon palletized missile system in this high-intensity DCS World military simulation. This scenario explores how decoy cruise missiles can overwhelm modern naval air defenses before a stealth anti-ship strike.
Two C-17 Globemaster III aircraft deploy 10 Rapid Dragon pallets, each releasing 18 low-cost 500 lb JDAM-LR cruise missiles, for a total of 180 missiles launched from 300 miles away against a 2020s Chinese carrier strike group.
Following the massive missile swarm, a single B-2 Spirit stealth bomber launches 16 AGM-158C LRASM (Long Range Anti-Ship Missiles). Can the expendable JDAM-LR decoys force the Chinese fleet to exhaust its HHQ-9B and HQ-10 interceptor missiles, allowing the stealthy LRASMs to penetrate and strike the Type 003 aircraft carrier?
Watch this DCS World simulation to see whether saturation attacks and decoy tactics can defeat one of the world’s most advanced naval air defense networks.
