Do they have zircon encrusted tweezers?
When will we be test firing hypersonic missiles?
Is there a hypersonic missile gap? A mine shaft gap?
Not impossible. Just a lot more difficult.
Is this a ballistic missile?
This was on the internet?
Wow, then it HAS to be true!
(See my tagline)
Great Movie !
And there are trade-offs. A hypersonic missile is less accurate and has a smaller payload than a traditional one.
There are reasons the USA has not seriously pursued them despite having the technical ability for decades to build them.
That video was debunked. That’s some building in the Russian controlled part of Ukraine. Funny how the Russians didn’t fly it over the Ukrainian controlled areas where the speed could be independently observed. Smells like BS.
Look at the size of the building and the frame rate and that “thing” was not traveling at mach 9 or whatever the bs claim is.
Probably as big of a piece of crap as their entire military.
too bad control could not have been commandeered and have it directed to the heart of Moscow
lmao... I clicked-in here just to find someone posting that.
I knew I’d be too late to post it myself.
ZirconEncrustedTweezers?
Name him, ping him...
Bkmk
My first thought!
Is that a real missile, or is that a Sears missile?
Wunderwaffe will win the war!
“There are reasons the USA has not seriously pursued them despite having the technical ability for decades to build them.”
Really? Seems to me several defense companies are working on their own designs.
