US Navy tests Pandarra Fog in exercise

To defend its carrier battle group from a potential attack by Chinese supersonic cruise missiles such as the C-602 and the C-805, the United States Navy launched an exercise to test its new obscurant, Pandarra Fog, between June 21-25 this year near the island of Guam according to National Defense, a monthly magazine operated by the Russian defense ministry.

The USS Mustin and the USS Wayne E Meyer, two Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, were tasked with protecting the USS Frank Cable, an Emory S Land-class submarine tender, which was to be disguised as an aircraft carrier or some other large vessel of the United States Navy during the exercise.
