Putin brags about hypersonic missiles.............

[ABikerSailor]

Well, after being a leader for the most advanced weapons for the longest time, the US is now behind Russia in hypersonic military technology. Seems that they have now developed and are deploying hypersonic missiles, the latest one they have developed and are due to deploy in the next month or so can travel at 20 times the speed of sound, and can change direction mid flight.

Too bad Trump is spending so much time at his rallies, spewing Russian propaganda that the Ukraine messed with the elections and denouncing anyone not on his side to notice that the US has lagged behind on this.

Hate to say it, but these missiles sound more dangerous than ICBM's.

Putin says Russia is leading world in hypersonic weapons

MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Russia has got a strong edge in designing new weapons and that it has become the only country in the world to deploy hypersonic weapons.

Speaking at a meeting with top military brass, Putin said that for the first time in history Russia is now leading the world in developing an entire new class of weapons unlike in the past when it was catching up with the United States.

The Russian leader noted that during Cold War times, the Soviet Union was behind the United States in designing the atomic bomb and building strategic bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

“Now we have a situation that is unique in modern history when they are trying to catch up to us,” he said. “Not a single country has hypersonic weapons, let alone hypersonic weapons of intercontinental range.”

The Pentagon and the U.S. military services have been working on the development of hypersonic weapons in recent years, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in August that he believes “it’s probably a matter of a couple of years” before the U.S. has one. He has called it a priority as the military works to develop new long-range fire capabilities.

If you want to blame someone for the US being asleep at the wheel while Russia developed hypersonic missile technology, you might start with who was around 10 years ago. It takes at least that long to develop a new missile technology. That would be Obama and his intelligence agencies.

Trump should have denounced Russia when they first announced they had them, but Trump is so busy with his bromance with Putin that he apparently doesn't care.

Didn't the Mueller Report prove that all that stuff about Russia helping Trump was bullshit?

I guess ABikerSailor isn't keeping up with the news.

 

[Blackrook]

Anyway, I have a solution for all this wasteful bullshit.

Call Russia and China on the phone and tell them to stop wasting all that money on bullshit weapons that will never be used. Then we agree to stop wasting money on bullshit weapons that will never be used.

We use the savings to pay down the huge national debt.

They would never believe Donald Trump/ Would you?

Yeah... he announced that but a month or 2 ago they had a failed launch with the solid fuel weapons that could carry nuclear warheads that caused a big radiation problem. Who knows what they really have.

Wonder if we have something that we are not bragging about. Seems that we always have things in the works long before anyone hears about it. I remember the SR-71, or even stealth tech.

They have already said they have created a laser system that can blow up incoming missiles. Kind of like Reagan's Star Wars defense system we laughed about in the 80's. Pretty sure they even tested it to blow up a dead satellite.

They also have those missiles that they try to intercept incoming missiles but they explode it when it is close and hope the shrapnel destroys the enemy rocket.

That's what you know about. Black projects usually don't get any notice until much later in development

what would that accomplish?

Yeah I get that, but think what that must be given what we actually know they have?

Russia was developing them in violation of the nuclear weapons agreement between the two countries... that eventually instead of Trump telling them to stop, he said fuck the agreement and we'll start building new ones too.

not surprising. Trump has been a disaster on foreign policy.

The current and future strength of a nation is based largely on the intellectual prowess of it's young generation, unity plus common culture and the stability and integrity of it's government.

We lost all of those. Expect to fall further and further behind.

But only imbeciles blame Trump. It's been coming for decades.

You think it is bad now? Trump's tearing down of the intelligence agencies has turned recruiting to shit. What bright minds want to go get a job in the government where the President is going to say you are the problem?

So just wait until they no longer get some of the best candidates and something REALLY bad happens because the intel agencies are using B- people.

“We’re going to terminate the agreement and we’re going to pull out,” Trump said Saturday night, adding that the United States would pour more money into developing weapons if that’s what the situation requires.

“Russia has violated the agreement. They have been violating it for many years,” Trump added. “And we’re not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we’re not allowed to.”
