Correction. Russia has hypersonic missiles in service now. And you failed to say that some of their missiles reach the speed of Mach 20 - 27. And is already in service.
And their weapon is based off a 1970’s era rocket motor off a Cold War missile. AUKUS is cooking up something a bit more sophisticated than Torana era technology
@@stevenkerr1455 "And their weapon is based off a 1970’s era rocket motor off a Cold War missile. AUKUS is cooking up something a bit more sophisticated than Torana era technology" There is a huge difference between "In service" and "cooking up". I hope you know it. And a few words about the 1970's... 😝 "The Minuteman family of missiles have served as the backbone of the U.S. land-based nuclear strategic force since 1962. The Minuteman III began development in 1964 and entered service in 1970 with a force of 550 missiles."
Russian S500 and S550 systems have hypersonic counters already. And they have shown already that S300 system with the S400 radar can counter HIMARS system of USA. The one good thing - no need for a warhead as the kinetic energy alone does a lot of damage.
@bob jardine And in reply to over hyped Russian military - the simple truth is if NATO thought they could win they would be in on the ground in a flash. They did with Kosovo, Iraq, and many other countries. When that training ground in the west got hit early on with hypersonic missiles and wiped the whole camp out. The west did not see those missiles coming. Over 400 NATO / foreign personal were killed and 400+ Million dollars in equipment destroyed. They knew Russia has a lot more stuff up their sleave and NATO wanted no part. It was a very clear message to the West, Bring it on if you think you can do it. This war is mainly being fought by the DPR / LPR with Russian backing. And the losses on both sides are high (Ukraine / LPR / DPR) while Russian losses have not been that high. That is why it is taking time. When this is over and the real number of losses from Ukraine are released, the world is going to be shocked at how one sided this whole thing ended up.
Supersonic drones, hypersonic missiles and glide vehicles, counter hypersonic defences, and electronic warfare decoys have been in development and testing since the 1970’s. All of this kit explains most of the more reliable UFO ‘encounters’.
That's right and have a guess who paid for all that stuff that's right most of us, it's like wow this roads crap, yeah but have you seen our state-of-the-art 7th Generation Jets.
This Channel is full of lies. The Russians have already deployed both hypersonic glide vehicles and Hypersonic cruise missiles..The West is playing catching up...North Koreans are ahead of Australia. Climate change cannot be a bigger threat to humanity than a few feeble minded presidents with hypersonic missiles
@@jarednovel lol. Russia's military might is literally a fraud. Not only fraudulent in it's claims of being any kind of disciplined military might. But also literally committing fraud by contractors stealing money from the government kek.
@@ichibot-app Your govt should send troops immediaately to save Ukraine from weak Russia.. I would love to celebrate the heroism of your country or triumph against Russia
Nuclear subs have provided first strike abilities for a long time. Also, rather than launch a hypersonic missile from the other side of the world, you could launch one clandestinely from close to your enemy. I don't see how the hypersonic ability makes the world so much more dangerous than it is.
I agree. This piece seems a little alarmist. With all ICBMs these days carrying MIRVs, no nation can meaningfully intercept a nuclear first strike as it is, so hypersonics don't change much in that respect. Similarly the US, Russia, and China all are operating some form of a nuclear triad to preserve second strike capacity, and I don't see hypersonics undermining the effectiveness of that either.
Putin has had stealth nukes in service since 2009 (RS-24). All caused by Ronny Raygun’s SDI laser program (MIRACL laser, demonstrated to the world on TV in October 1997). Not sure why any of this is news.
Ummm for a start - all the SHIELD technology to intercept ICBMs won't work. So nobody has any protection. If someone fires = it's 100% guaranteed hit before it's even landed.
How sad to see stupid Government officials investing billions for something that will bring THE END OF US ALL . We are guests here , lucky if we make it 85 , if only all this money would've spend on hospitals , medicine , environment , education . Unfortunately history keeps repeating itself , and we never learn from the mistakes we did in the pass .
one Chinese missile is enough for this much talked about F-35. Remember the US has never been weaker in its history. It was defeated by a local terrorist organisation in Afghanistan. It had to run out its tail between its legs.
In medieval Europe, the introduction of the crossbow very much became the backbone of any military and security force overnight due to the fact it can so quickly and easily be produced compared to most kind of weapons including the contemporary bow not to mention a crossbow requires the most minimal of training to use and become proficient with. Same thing then happened with firearms, which replaced the usage of non-gunpowder operating arms in modern combat.
NO nuclear delivery system will ever completely devastate another major nuclear armed nation within seconds, so retaliation will always be feared. Deterrence will always exist.
The missile i have designed can take out Russia ,china, and the us, french nuclear missiles before they leave the these countries, yet their are weapons' available today that can be used to take out nuclear weapons over the airspace of the countries that launched them, making nuclear missile a threat to the very countries that own them and launch them, For the intellectually challenged that less than 15 minutes to any where on the planet, cruising speed of MACH 21-22, Impact velocity of about MACH 46.Thier is not a defence system on the planet or in orbit capable of detecting this weapon let alone target and take it out , that includes the occupied Palestine anti missile laser defense system. I am just waiting on my government to approach me.
@@asatechnics8363 Yeah i know i m talking about the Brahmos 1 missile which was actually supersonic, Our Country will acquired those Supersonic missiles by 2023. And Brahmos 2 is under development by India and Russia and speed of Mach 8
One thing these missiles do create, though, is the possibility of more countries getting them. Ballistic missiles are expensive in their silos or on submarines.
@@_Epsilon_ Not sure what you mean. Demilitarizing NATO in Ukraine? Ukraine isn't in NATO. The one thing that is apparent though is how little putin's private war is doing the opposite of what he wanted. He now has NATO encircling russia more than ever before, all because the other countries are worried he will invade them as well, like he's threatened so many times before. He needs to respect other country's borders, not just little putin, but the whole world does at this point.
Could a hypersonic even track a moving ship? Seems like the need to protect against mach 5+ airflow heating would prevent the usage of IR tracking or a radome for active radar seeking. They'd have to be command guided via satellite or something.
I'm not sure sitting ducks is fair, considering ships move & have counter measures. Defending a country/continent against a hypersonic cruise missiles is very difficult, but individual targets can narrow their defensive window. If large scale nuclear is used, gloves come off & aggressor is likely toast. It is a "new" formidable threat to such assets however.
Strange, no mention of the Russian Zircon (0-10M, 2000km), highly manoeuvrable , sea based and shortly land based missile and the king of them all Avangard missile with a highly manoeuvrable, intercontinental warhead 27Mach - already in service. Instead we are still trying to achieve 5Mach for any sustainable , non-manoeuvrable distance.
Everything you hear about what the US has in it’s arsenal is EXTREMELY dated! In no way will you know what they really have. If they show it, they DEFINITELY have way more advanced technology than that!
MAD proved that nobody really wanted to give the other side a reason to fire back. This will probably hold true pretty much for the foreseeable future, as nobody who gives the launch command is the one who pushes the button.
Hypersonics with nuclear warheads just makes it more likely there will be an all out nuclear war because countries will have even less response time thus launch on detection, less time to consider options. Nuclear war is inevitable, not if, but when? 💀
About 1:27 he falsely claims blowing up 100 nukes exposes everyone to UV radiation. Radioactive fallout does not produce UV radiation, instead it produces far more damaging alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Fallout areas can also remain contaminated for decades.
It also converts atmospheric nitrogen into a much more damaging form of nitrogen. 5000 times worse than carbon for global warming. Now realise how much warming we got from all those nuclear tests.
I wholeheartedly agree with what the gentleman stated about hypersonics and drones and this type of maneuverability has produced the UFO scares that seem credible
@@juncruz1545 maybe in theory but since the United States does not have hypersonics to make your statement true... You can't stop something that you don't possess to test... Bottom line the United States is lagging behind in the hypersonics which are the ultimate weapons at this point in time in modern warfare... Incidentally I've never heard of anybody using a laser in conventional warfare at this time... maybe for RU-vid... maybe in theory but you have to be smart enough to realize if there was a laser it would have been deployed in Ukraine as the United States have sent just about everything over there except fighter jets
@@juncruz1545 That's true if they have perfected them enough by the time we need them. They're already advanced enough to take out regular drones and missiles, planes and various other targets. The part that matters now is the targeting component. It has to have the ability to track and target objects moving at ever increasing speeds and they supposedly are well on their way to doing that, depending on who's reporting on it.
INDIA has already developed one it's called shauriya missile Currently we Indians are making several hypersonic missiles One is brahmos-II Second is HSTDV-missile
Who cares? India always sits on the sidelines during conflicts. NATO will not buy it and selling weapons to Russia right now sends a clear message India is not with the west.
Back to the past. Back to MAD. In recent years, anti-missile missiles have made intercepting and destroying ballistic missiles a possibility. Although MIRVed warheads make that very unlikely IMO. But, hypersonic missiles bring back the idea of unstoppable nuclear weapons --- just like we had in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. So, it is not really new.
True, the MAD deal use to work, but it won't work for a mentally unstable individual like putin. He made be dumb enough to start it, but it won't end well. The problem is crazy people don't understand reality. All we can do is hope he doesn't get the opportunity before the russian people decide it's time for him to disappear like others before him.
It’s always been that way, MAD didn’t go away when the Soviet Union dissolved. This is a fear mongering peace to be honest, the nuclear triad concept was invented and implemented because of the fear that a first strike would destroy all land based means of retaliation, nuclear subs, a large nuclear bomber fleet, and the land based arsenal ensure that even if one is removed from play, there are still two other means of retaliation, making a first strike unthinkable in the first place. It sucks but it works, and I don’t see “hypersonics” changing that dynamic in any significant fashion other than giving people less time to panic that their lives are ending.
China 🇨🇳 has already upgraded their Submarine ICBMs with hypersonic nuclear ☢️ tip missiles. China is the future right now. This why so many European Nations and Asian countries are aligning closely with China. Not only them, but South America and all Latin countries are recognizing that China will be the new global leader. Australia 🇦🇺 is also seeing this as you can see from the last election.
Say you were living in the UK. And assume if a nuclear war broke out your country would be targeted by Russia -- completely hypothetical, of course. Would you really feel safer if the UK had no nuclear weapons to thwart a potential attack?
@@Jim-mn7yq Jim nobody will win with nuclear weapons, apparently that's supposed to be the big deal, except say someone like putin perhaps not in best of health and couldn't give a shit , you see this hole thing hinges on sensible people supposed to be that say this is silly we all better be good little boys and stop now, Scotland is a direct target because of england's nukes, Scotland doesn't want them and when we get our country back, we won't have them here period.
And the US is struggling very hard to even come close to the achievements of Russia and China with regards to hypersonic weapons and missiles. Years behind.
The reality is that Russia and China are threatening the west with perfect simulations. None of them has developed hypersonic missiles. The day they will make them u will see them in their annual, useless open-air military parades in Moscow or Beijing. So don't be scared.
Dear Wumao, US actually has the lead, educate yourself before making a fool out of yourself, did teachers at 50 cent army classes teach these things to you?!
didnt you listen mate , no 1 has a scramjetworking in the field yet , but the americans have demo,d 2 diferent systems , russia and china arnt even close
@@stevensmith797 Australia has one lol. has for few years now and USA was in on the testing. been tested in atmo 11 times and 100 in test tunnel.. those are the sucessful one's.. newest runs on Hydrogen.
Because this shit will kill you faster than climate change so sadly it’s more of an issue right now. There was an ice age 12000 years ago, with no pollution.
@bruce parka If Russia loses the war in Ukraine they will probably go nuclear. The whole objective is unrealistic and dreamed up by power crazy clique, our future is at stake and no one has a mandate for such a crazy policy of essentially Nato going to war against Russia through a proxy.
Please stop with that climate nonsense. China, Indian and Russia are trashing the world they the ones that needs to cough the most to help but they don't give a f. They use and destroyed their resources and trashed their environment and are now invading other country to fullfil their appetite. Global warming my a.zz cuz my butt been freezing year over year here in Minnesota.
@@ichibot-app True. Ppl don't think the insane military budget US have. It is going to be $750 billion on coming years and almost close to $130 billions allocated for hypersonic technology development and counter hypersonic meseaurement. It will take a year or two for US to catchup Russia or China in this field that took others to develop hypersonic a decade.
@@ichibot-app Exactly no one saids about Australias Scramjet and Australian Ray Stalker was first to get essence of flight from it.. all chinese Hypersonic experts were taught in Australia by Ray or in USA . Australian scramjet has been sucessful 11 times in atmo and 100 in t4 shock tube. pretty sure USA is secretly saying they are behind. AGM183A has flown sucessfuly and is a hypersonic glide Missile in service in a USA artillery squad in Germany now.
Picture this. It makes no difference. It's a bit faster but the countermeasures are all the same. It's a small incremental change in capability. Physics still apply.
@@puranapuu4252 lol ok so most militaries don't show real weapons that are cutting edge as that gives the enemy design clues etc.. common practice padawan.. keep studying x
@bruce parka although the Russian narrative includes enhanced propaganda, the facts remain that they do not lie like the West, which on many ocassions may be totally fabricated, for appeasement purposes.
They also announced that they had the T-14, a super tank which would destroy any western MBT. I have yet to see one in operation in Ukraine... *same goes for the SU-57 stealth fighter. By the way the US has been flying stealth aircraft since the 1980s by now.
If Russia used hypersonic missiles in Ukraine, I would think it wold be mostly to test them. These are still presumably VERY expensive, so you need to be hitting an especially important target.
they used hypersonic missiles are bunker busters.. because the energy they have is so high ,that can penetrate apparently very strong reinforced bunkers. and deep underground. How deep , only Ukraine and Russia knows. A visual inspection of the target they hit in ukraine is need.
They have already thought about that, haven’t they? Intercontinental ballistic missiles are also hypersonic (but they follow a ballistic, higher altitude trajectory). They have been tested and deployed for decades, and unfortunately for the world, they don't melt during their long flights!
I reckon the US can afford this race. Let the other two guys bankrupt themselves trying to develop, build & maintain these wunderwaffle. But seriously though, I thought our generation would get to do something new & wokeass like reaching for the stars, colonizing Mars, curing cancer, fighting climate change, etc. Instead a bunch of old people had to go all 60's retro classic geopolitical powerplay trying to recreate the so-called good old days of their glorious youth. It's as if we're too dense to learn from history. Well that's my rant, back to griding on with life.
Mate you don't know what the hell you are talking about , the United States is broke clown , its public debt is over 30 trillion dollars , 90 thousand dollars for every man woman and child living in the US but that is just part of its debt when you ad its private debt the sum balloons to a massive 100,000,000,000,000 dollars ,$ 700,000 for every family in the US and it gets worse , the Chinese are actually popping up the USD to stop it from dragging the United States to third world status , and considering Russia and China already have these weapons , and are already working on far far more advanced missiles and when you factor in how far ahead China is, in just about every metric over the US now , the United States is just to far behind , time to face reality !!!
Just to let y’all know, Biden is saying what we want him to say. Trust is we can locate and eradicate any hypersonic system within 90 seconds. I won’t reveal too much but what do you think our space force program does? Our satellites are all weaponized. We can melt a missile incredibly fast with super concentrated microwaves. And our system, all I’m gonna say is our HS missile program is upward of Mach 12, and it can change direction easily. We currently have 2 kinds. We have a kinetic missile that doesn’t use a warhead which I can’t disclose how fast it actually goes and then the one with nuclear warheads, it’s the one that can hit around Mach 12.
1. News guy needs to tone down the tan a little. 2. A nuclear war is not "all or nothing." Imagine if Russia used a single small nuke (50kt-100kt) to obliterate a major portion of Ukraine's war fighting abilities? (Think command, control, communication sites, supply and distribution, etc) One nuke, a small one at that. I cannot imagine the US sending 350 warheads into Russia in retaliation. One? Maybe. And if it hits something relatively unimportant, the Russians will probably act like, "oh golly, you're right, we shouldn't have launched that single warhead! Please forgive!" And yet, the balance of power in the Ukraine conflict has shifted dramatically in Russia's favor. A lot of "if this, if that, if the other...." But I believe it's a reasonable outcome. Concerns about "MAD" are just blind cowardice, fueled by the inability to think in moderate terms.
Imagine the person that launches a hypersonic missile and it gets stopped then they're like but but that was our expensive unstoppable missile 😢now what
I was machining Test ScramJet parts here in Australia, in the early 1990's. Variable Inlet designs & Injector Manifolds . A Company called NQEA along with QUT & NASA. We even designed & built the 1st Hypersonic "Wind Tunnel" in the Southern Hemisphere, for Testing parts. A spin-off Company call "Aim Reasearch" was formed , & it was all relocated elsewhere. Very interesting work.
Hypersonic nuclear warheads are the only reason uncle Sam doesn't want a fire exchange between him and Russia. Scary thing is that Russia claims that the S500 can intercept these hypersonic weapons
@1:38 you say any nuclear launch by russia.... I am not a russian fan, but lets not forget the only cuountry in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs and not signed the npt!. Perhaps being a little more responsible and saying vice versa at the end of the sentence would have been more prudent.
Why are so dangerous cause if sub or boat launched against DC with nuke It's takes 6 to 8 minuits for military response Those missles travel over 450 miles in that time If you use windmills noise in Boston you can nuke DC in minutes
USA has that tech lol.. all china is ICBM nuclear first stage rockets with a glide vehicle on tip instead of the neclear bomb.. the glide vehicle is what makes it the untargetable hypersonic. USA has all that but won't use it's Nuclear ICBM rockets. even Putin has said USA couldn't as everyone will retaliate thinking USA has fired a nuke. Why USA only wants conventional rockets.
Israel will deploy a laser air defence system called the 'Iron Beam' within a year or so. It's believed the weapon is very effective against artillery, rockets, mortars and UAV's. That said, directed energy laser weapons will only ever be ancillary to kinetic weapons like Israel's Iron Dome ADS. Smoke, mist, rain, fog, sand storms and even suspended pollen render terrestrial DE laser weapons ineffective.
The USofA has had the ASM-135A since Sept 1985, which moves at mach 12 and can be steered to a target. Why all the hype that Russia built a hypersonic glider?
I don't know if there as effective as this video makes it seem. As an engineer, I kind of have to think they're making some kind of a tradeoff. So any object (could even be fairly small) that can strike something going that fast is gonna do a shit ton of damage. And any distortion of critical flight surfaces at that speed is going to cause severe disruption. And I imagine, most of the weight is gonna be all in the warhead and just the amount of fuel its going to need, it probably isn't going to have much 'armor' (although I doubt it would do much good any ways). This is especially true for the scram jets. They work by very specific geometry in the intake, to position a Shockwave just right in order to create the necessary precombustion pressure for thrust. So I could honestly see even a ball bearing doing enough damage, for the missile to shake itself to pieces. So I unlike other missile defense systems (for ICBMs), which need to do significant damage. I imagine you only need to create a cloud of projectiles for one of these to go through and that'll take it out. If anyone knows more specifics, this is pure speculation.
Yeah no shit. The problem is striking it. How do you detect and strike something going that fast. Nothing that could strike it will be able to come close to it.
Detecting it problematic, deciding when and if to launch a countermeasure is short. If the intermediate range missile treaty and the anti ballistic missile treaty were in place, this technology would not even be deployed. The USA walked away from these and other treaties, such as the open skies treaty, for specious reasons and at the same time deployed "defensive" systems like aegis ashore in Poland and Roumania that can easily be reconfigured to launch tomohawks etc.
China?! just check the news on how almost every country who have bought Chinese weaponary, equpiments and UAVs is struggling with their faults and defects, Pakistan is the latest example, they bought Chinese UAVs and became miserable trying to solve the defects, faults and even they were furious over Chinese UAVs lacking advanced capabilities.
