U.S. Officials Sound Alarm On Stunning Chinese Hypersonic Missile Test: ‘No Idea How They Did This’

Hypersonic missiles are about avoiding anti-missile systems like Iron Dome...

Otherwise you use a ballistic missile that travels at 25X speed of sound.

But when the missile missed by 24 miles...that says that there are severe issues with navigation or steering systems.

It won't take forever to figure out the problems...but it still doesn't work.

It missed by 24 miles after circling the earth! :ack-1:
 
I believe it was Obama who turned down our opportunity to develop a hypersonic missile.
When our final history is written it will be that we were destroyed by our own stupidity.....most have forgotten how the MSM propagandized voters into believing obama was some kind of magical negro with a genius level i.q. what a joke.

The best analysis is his i.q. is around 106....actually very good for a black.....well at least a mulatto.

Are you really that stupid?

The bottom line is that we are now at the mercy of China and the last thing in the world you can expect from the Chi-Coms is mercy.

As we speak they are very likely drawing up surrender papers for sloe joe to sign before the midterms or before he chokes to death eating a ice cream cone. etc.etc. and so on and so forth.

When we are talking a hydrogen or even Atomic Bomb 24 miles is miniscule.
Its too much of a miss to be effective for any tach nuke...sorry...there's a website that you can play with that shows effective blast radiuses for the various nukes....and 24 miles is too much of a miss.

If it flew over Canada towards Manhattan it would land way south or in the ocean somewhere...it would hit the Jersey shore somewhere.

Not good at that but...it would still leave our large cities intact. The targeting can be fixed eventually...and we do have satellites that can watch for this stuff but deployment of our anti-missile systems takes a lot of time...we flat out aren't ready or are going to be. Our current best deterrent is striking back.
 
This is definitely concerning, and also very arrogant from the country that has given the world Covid.
You'd think they would lay pretty low for a while considering what they've put the world through.

You kinda sound like sloe joe talking about corn pop.

We are talking about China....a super power who now has the ability to strike us so quickly we will be unable to respond even if sloe joe would agree to it.

I do not think you are atypical.....far too many like you who do not understand the ramifications of this.

First of all you do not know what the hell you are talking about.......

I am not talking about a tactical nuclear weapon....I am talking about the kind of nuclear weapon China would use if they decided to do a first strike....aka knock us out so quickly we would have no capability to respond

To conduct a first strike they would use the most powerful nuclear device they have....and that is not a tactical nuclear weapon....those are designed just for use on a particular battlefield.

This is what I am referring to>>>>>>>Tsar Bomba: The Most Powerful Nuclear Weapon Ever Built

They're slower than ballistic missiles. Did you even read the article, or did you just read the word "hypersonic" and say, "Wow. That's neato."
Here is what you missed or do not understand:

The hypersonic missiles can reach speeds of up to 21,000 mph and can strike anywhere on Earth from space within minutes.

The system would be able to overcome US anti-ballistic missile defence systems that are based in Alaska and set up to shoot down projectiles coming over the North Pole - the Chinese system would be able to strike the US from the south.

The key being it would reach its target....America.....much faster than a ICBM because a ICBM has to travel thousands of miles.....striking from space which is what a hypersonic missile is designed to do ---thus a much shorter distance to travel hence it hits its target much faster...knocking out our ability to respond with ICBM's.

That is why there is so much concern over this Chinese advancement in missle technology.
