Why American anti-ship missiles are not as advanced as China and Russia? Other advantages are obvious. Why didn't you get the missile technology?

In fact, the anti-ship missiles of the United States are not much worse than those of China and Russia, but not as much as those of China and Russia. The United States is now developing hypersonic missiles and long-range anti-ship missiles, both of which are quite powerful and technologically ahead of China and Russia.

From the operational concept, the anti-ship mission of the US Navy is basically not completed by surface ships, but mainly by carrier-based aircraft. Surface ships are responsible for air defense and anti-submarine, mainly air defense, while nuclear submarines are mainly responsible for anti-submarine. Saturation attack was originally carried forward by the Soviet Union, but it doesn't mean that Americans can't. The Soviet Union used surface ships to volley missiles to complete saturation attack. A single ship can reach more than a dozen anti-ship missiles, while the United States can use carrier-based aircraft. It is important to know that an aircraft carrier has about 48 F/A- 18 missiles, and a fleet can easily reimburse it if it fires nearly 100 missiles at a time. Looking around the world, there is no one. The ability of stratum to resist saturation attack. The us military thinks it is the second, and no one dares to be the first. Therefore, the US military can completely suppress its opponents without very advanced missiles. Naturally, there is no such strong demand to develop advanced anti-ship missiles. However, there have been changes recently. Many countries are developing new anti-ship missiles, especially supersonic and hypersonic anti-ship missiles, which makes the US military feel the need for new missiles to maintain its position, so as to develop hypersonic missiles and long-range anti-ship missiles, specifically X5 1 cruise missiles and LRASM, which are absolutely not lower than the existing missiles in China and Russia.

In fact, it is flattering, so it is necessary to improve the answer and make a little supplement to the above contents:

The so-called salvo of 48 F- 18 is just talk, and it can't be done at all, but even the salvo of 10 is a considerable number, which can completely achieve saturation attack. The emphasis is on saturation attack, not how many planes carry out the attack mission.

The advantage of the US military lies in its powerful carrier-based aircraft formation, with a combat radius of 800- 1000 km. Before the enemy fleet approached the US aircraft carrier, it had already fallen into the missile range of the US carrier aircraft. Even if the two sides approach at full speed, the distance from 60 knots, 1000 km to 300 km will take 6-7 hours. American carrier aircraft can launch multiple attacks. Even if the harpoon is not good, which country's navy can withstand such an attack? Therefore, the demand of the US military for advanced anti-ship missiles is not high.
