Aren’t hypersonic missiles just ICBMs? Unless ramjets are a real thing. Dunno.

Mach 10? Pretty fast! Lots of kinetic damage where it lands.

I keep seeing articles about russia and china relating to hypersonic missiles.

This is media fear mongering.

The US has had hypersonic missiles since the 1960s. The AIM-54C Phoenix missile, used with the F-14 Tomcat, was a mach 5 air-to-air long range radar guided missile. THe Tomcat could aquire 6 enemies on radar and fire on all of them simultaneously, at a range of 150 miles.

Making such a missile into an air-to-ground weapon would have been child’s play to the defense contractors.

If this tech was the game changer that the media seems to think it is, the USSR would have fallen 20 years before it finally did.

Don’t believe the hype.

The countries up there are talking about blockading St. Petersburg. These missiles will help keep the shipping lanes there open. They’ll only be used if needed.

They moved them to a particular base. Think “Risk”.

Duper-supersonic missiles aren’t real. It’s just nonsense that Russian propaganda blasts to very gullible.

How is that talk of NATO expansion into Finland and Sweden working out?

Meanwhile, while hypersonic missiles are being aimed at her country, Finland's PM Sanna Marin likes to party all the time and dance the night away.
