Hypersonic Missiles Arms Race: What You Need to Know 

Hypersonic weapon is when both your wife and mother in law yelling at you at the same time when you try to watch a football game on TV.

Unfortunately this reminds me of someone who said “We as a human knows more of war and killing than peace and living…” We struggle to say hi to our next neighbors but have missiles to kill unknown families in 10,000kms away.

Just checking this one because of Russia and Ukraine war.

I realize this is over 12 months old but the Russians have had hypersonic weapons DEPLOYED in military units for at least a year. They have also finished testing a defense system, S500, capable of defending against hypersonic missiles.

When can I get pizza delivered from Italy in 30 minutes?

sick world

"So is the untied states falling behind? Well not really." Translation* "Yes. A little"

I didn't know Beijing was in Russia thanks for the cool map at 0:16

Me: Guys why can't we all just get along and build a better world... Great Powers: HYPERSONIC MISSILE GO WHOOSH!!!

Instead of reaching for the stars and creating spaceships and Stellaris, they want the world to burn...

I now understand why everyone is rushing to deploy satellites in space. How else would you guide your missiles? However, the one who wins would be the one with the best hackers.

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” -Albert Einstein

So glad you had the not drawn to scale warning. You had me worried there for a minute.

The way powerful men measure their manhood without actually whipping them out.

Imagine this for a second, you’re an alien on some other planet and you see the earth testing all these missiles from there….

We should have a peaceful world free of such weapons

Finally someone recognizing that it's basic physics that's speculated, like gravity on descent and thrust by mini explosions touching atmosphere and lack of friction on ascent -possibly shutting down fuel outside those "touches" to save it, these vertical waves being intended only to continuously accelerate and not to fool chasers, this being only a side effect. The 10 Mach + speeds are achieved on the last portion of trajectory only -when they "disappear" from radar. Indeed once accurately established in a powerful computer on ground, the optimal trajectory depending on the distance to the target, a fixed table of such trajectories is loaded with a simple interpolation logic, so once the target coordinates are loaded the optimal trajectory is easily established by interpolating existing data and some random but fixed zigzag added at the end. To get this data however some homework must be done: correct physical phenomena and parameters introduced in the flight simulator software -on ground, by many corrective experiments done with much cheaper 10/20 times smaller rockets, some AI and numeric algebra algorithms used for faster results. Even Putin admitted that any country having cruise/ballistic missiles can soon have it, like Pakistan or Egypt. It will be very sad to realize later that war in Ukraine lasted more than 6-9 months, while most countries having cruise/ballistic missiles could have had it in 2-3 months sparing a million civil lives, as now Putin has the upper hand and tries to take the maximum profit while still can.

Me searching hypersonic missile during the Ukraine-Russia war

Man i love being caught in the middle of arms races where the ones who make and launch the weapons are the only ones who are protected from these weapons

Thank God they displayed 'Not drawn to scale' I was concerned someone had hundreds of guided missiles; each the general size of Britain. 🙄

Nothing beats a meteor entering earth atmosphere and has the size of 100km long and 45km wide

We are living on this beautiful blue marble, called Earth and with all of our intelligence we are busy of killing each other... :(

I think it's great that the world gets along so well.

Once smaller countries get a hold of some of these things, this will make aircraft carrier fleets and other military assets almost obsolete. A bigger nation attacking a small regional power would have to think carefully how to do this if it can be done at all without great loss of life or material.

I believe China’s longest range ICBM is DF-41 with a range of 15,000km. Russia and China currently have Hypersonic missiles with the US still finalising theirs.

What a time to be alive.

It's time for one of my favorites pizza and beer... when you hear a siren in the middle of the night and your phone starts an emergency alert with instructions... kiss your azz goodbye, but at least your last meal is that famous combo... Pizza and Beer.

It's ludicrous to believe the public information on what country has what weapon. We won't know unless there's a major global conflict. Let's hope that never happens again.

Who came here after india tested hypersonic weapons?

🇨🇳 : hey USA, we'll use shoulder of 🇰🇵 🇺🇸 : hey China, our shoulder will be 🇮🇳

A figment of your imagination! If you've got a secret weapon, you don't announce it. That would be idiotic.

Why does this guys face look so HD? I mean, my screen isn't even 4K...

China invented fireworks and gunpowder and people seem to forget for some reason.

2020: "China, Russia and United States are all conducting studies into hypersonic weapons. But only Russia is close to deploying one." 2021: China: "Whaddup, Ruuski?"

Great explanation. Thanks.

Elon Musk needs to join the missile club. "I have now created a reusable nuke capable exploding multiple times".

I am going to try to beat Minecraft while hypersonic missiles hunt me down.

the hypersonic air hits the shockwaves standing in the throat of the engine and are immediately brought down to subsonic speeds, there it is heated greatly and then forced through a nozzle out the back. the act of the air passing through the shockwave slows it down to subsonic speeds and greatly and instantly compresses it. this is how the scramjet and all ramjets operate without a moving compressor system.

If the weapon can go that fast it would not need to explode The kinetic energy would do enough damage itself

Well after some time we see Amazon buy hypersonic missile to deliver their things more early then their actual time . Jeff bezos : 🧐🧐😏🙃😎

Would we allow anybody to put weapons of any kind On our doorsteps

This is technology that could help with space travel, and we're using it for weapons.

Very informative. This is a very dangerous age we live in, and it's getting more dangerous by the day, unfortunately. Having these capabilities is crucial but it's unfortunate that they're needed.

Aliens be like: "we had these weapons 1 million years ago"

2:43 and is designed to deliver nuclear AND conventional warheads against ANY potential adversary

Best way to carry hypersonic weapon to prevent time delay is to transport in to a near deployment point from an undetectable deep water level. Very much Red Alert 2 RTS vibes.

Because we don't have enough scary ways of destroying each other.

It will be necessary to design a new defense system as a military base keep safe. The design will be considered a jammer or hinder for the missile. So the inlet course circumstance should be made by some other substance. I propose the course's density should have thick differed from the atmosphere. So the missiles will be hard to calculate the find-out to the course. The defender will be able to change the substance like various liquids. The high sonic missile has to depend on oxygen density, so I think It's a good idea. As this method certifies, we have to take space-hydrodynamics and meteorology.

It's good to see War is becoming tidier and tidier : can one hope to see an end to 'collateral damage' ?

I want to be a part of the research team that conducts these missiles.

Who is here after Russia used a Hypersonic Kinzhal (Dagger) missile yesterday in Ukraine?

Scary to think about , considering the faster these weapons get , the less time anybody has to react

I have a stock pile of rocks and sticks to prepare myself for what comes after we deploy this kind of misles

So since this video - russia announced a set of three hypersonic weapons - one being a torpedo - one an intercontinental missile and the other one a plane. All ready and deployed. And still nobody talks about MHD (Magnetohydrodynamics) which is the only thing that can explain the incredible claims concerning their performance and speed (speed actually being very important).

Whose here after China has tested it over the weekend 10/17/21

The reason why such weapons are tactically/strategically useful is not addressed in this video.

It's a good thing that the nations are using their power for good...

This will end badly. I can’t excuse those with so little empathy, discernment or decency that feel justified in risking billions of lives from EVERY country with zero effort to investigate likely consequences.

Sure be nice if we could evolve Beyond this BS. We could put all this engineering money and Technology to solving the world's problems. Imagine that

Imagine a great blue ball spinning spinning free. Dizzy with possibility. Full of Hope full of grace is the human race. But afraid we may may all let it go to waste.

That what I commented on. Ballastic missiles have also stearable re-entry vehicles. Indias Agni 2 is a typical case. The difference between chinese and Indian agni 2 missile is that the chinese is more manoverable than Indian and can be manovered in space which Indian agni can also to a certain degree.

The three superpowers upping their nuclear defenses/offenses should make the world feel a whole lot safer.

really great work

I need one of these to get to work on time

Peace is the time it takes to reload..

It’s hard to say if a hypersonic missile will be accurate enough to hit a strategic target by maneuvering at those speeds. It’s all talk at this point no one knows. Because if a aircraft carrier turns or speeds up at the wrong time it can ruin the missiles accuracy. It is hard to maneuver a missile at those speeds.

As of today Russia is the first country to use them in combat.

America is behind in exactly the same way Britain was behind when it lost the Revolutionary War. Advances in leadership are more important than advances in technology.

India also do some magic in hypersonic 🔥

India already tested hypersonic glide vehile just after making this video at 2020 September, video is available in you tube as well

Today ie. 28 oct 2021 i heard China successfully tested one hypersonic missile while America cannot

It is very curious that Russia and China would both, Test their very first Hypersonic Missiles, for the first time both just 5 months ago! 🤓

scary stuff but fascinating at the same time.

Russia has them now they launched a few. America is late and toast

I need one of those..

Not drawn to scale. Thanks for clarifying.

The graphics though

I noticed one thing: We are not in paradise here, on the planet.

In Poland, work is underway on a small hypersonic rocket with a range of 3000 km

Great unbreakable unbelievable praiseworthy truthfulness greatness

It is correct to show a flight from Eurasia to the United States. :D

So they always hue and cry over when some one else does what they already done????

Zircon's short range isn't a problem since the sub will be 12 miles off the US coast.

Sickening period!

What about space based kinetic energy weapons that are already deployed.

I think we should go back to fighting with sords and shield 🛡️

Its very hard to keep the hypersonic vehicle stable to stop it from wobbling n get a accurate target in long distance traveling when in space

War is a place where young people who don't know each other and don't hate each other kill each other, by the decision of old people who know each other and hate each other, but don't kill each other. Erich Hartman

India has 5 types of HCM- HSTDV,GGV02,SHAURYA,BRAMHOS 2,RUDRAM 2🔥 And many types of HBM- AGNI (ALL 7 SERIES), PRITHVI, SURYA ETC

Dont think we cant use the glider to carry a nuke. At 8500 miles per hour it's a very quick weapon

Scary as hell!

NICE!

We have arrived and we will be better than everyone else in this. - New India

This is interesting, but very sad at the same time 😢. Just imagine what these governments could do with all the money they spend on these weapons that will likely never be used.

An honest smile is the greatest weapon to kill an enemy.

Crazy stuff Hmmm.... are we better off with this technology or without this technology?

⛑️⛑️ Shaury & BrahMos-II are hypersonic misels travel at 6 mach and 7 mach respectively, details of their test published online 2 years ago.

Can't wait til A.I. runs all of it! 🤖🚀

Such a cheery video, sorry I listened.

I've been told the flight of hyperspnic missles are like nothing we've seen in physics before... it looks like the thing is standing still and jumping around (thong probably isn't even close to where you're seeing it. Supposedly... Let's get some videos of these things.
