China and Russia are leading the way in hypersonic missile technology, which is one of the main threats to U.S.A aircraft carrier groups as they cannot be intercepted. What do you think?

Carriers are also usually accompanied by a strike group consisting of cruisers, destroyers and submarines that provide additional protection.
