The fact the Houthis still haven't managed to score a single hit after lobbing them for so long is somewhat concerning, but I'm not clear on exactly how much better the Iranian domestic ASuW complex is compared to theirs. And presumably their salvo bandwidths will be much higher too.

Seems to have a common thing for many of them. Basically they were leaders in the market for existing tech and even though there were new things, they already sunk so much cost in the existing tech plus boomer japanese executives don't want to change.
This isn't even just applicable to tech. I was reading about organized crime the other day. Who's stronger Yakuza or Triads. Dumb weebs and ignorant people will say Yakuza because they are tougher. Even if that is true, what is the goal of a gang ultimately? To look tough? No it's money and control. Triads are actually far more powerful than before because they have managed to get into legit businesses now the cops don't touch and have expanded into southeast Asia and even mexico. They do stuff that is actually useful for current trends like money laundering, cybercrime and cryptoscams. They also partner with pretty much any gang who wants to do business. They don't give a crap about this arbitrary rituals or hierarchy. You're only as good as the business you generate. Meanwhile Yakuza are still stuffed with that old school mentality of old revenue streams and strict traditions. Not to mention they are stuck in Japan while slowly losing the market share even there. They even point this out in the Yakuza games.

Interesting how the latest Atlas robot demo people don’t question if it’s real. The same questions arise from those that accuse the EngineAI dancing robot demo brings up.
The Boston Dynamics videos of their humanoid robots look like motion capture techniques. No different from the ones you see already on YouTube where robots are moving on a shooting range firing guns looking like special forces.
Why is it that Boston Dynamic videos are few and far in between? If that was any of these Chinese robot companies, they would say it was a fraud because they’re not being transparent over its development.
Apparently you didn't bother to fully read and understand what I've written. Also a very simpleton mindset at work.
Nothing is invincible, and nothing is unstoppable. That's how sword-versus-shield works in reality. And that's where your idea that somehow "hypersonic, maneuverable and stealthy missiles becoming unstoppable" (of which the 1st characteristic will never simply coexist with the 3rd characteristic thanks to the laws of physics) is just plain, absolutely wrong.
Russia and China should team up and offer a defensive nuclear umbrella that would only be activated in case of a nuclear attack on Iran. They should also strictly warn Iran that if they try to attack nuclear plants or anything like that in Israel or anywhere else, it wouldn't apply.
That should be enough to give them courage to fight US to the end without having to worry that US would nuke them if they lost a carrier.
As their dear leader likes to say:
FAFO!
I think what he's trying to say is, "America is the new Nazi Germany, heil Trump!"
I'm not even joking. With Russia, China, and North Korea on one side, Japan, Italy, US, and Germany on the other, it's just up to the British and the French to decide if they want to side with the new Axis or the actual Allies.
If the USN has trouble resolving the Iran issue, then the PLAN would really have a tough time managing the Taiwan issue. It'd do everyone best to watch the Iran development with curiosity rather than glee.
