Sea Lightning NATO's New Missile Russia Never Expected to Face 

If the Zircon is like the other Russian superweapons, it's really only half as good as they say and they only have three of them.

Patriot has already proven able to take down Russias new hypersonic missle.

Yeah the zircon isn't a hypersonic missile Ukraine been shooting them down left and right..

I note that in 1973, the British Sea Dart (anti-air) missile came into service. It was an air breathing ramjet powered mach 3+ missile which could take out supersonic targets, including other missiles. It is, of course, no longer in service. The missile in the video, which has a different task, appears like a retrograde step, in some respects, although I'm sure it will perform well, if it ever enters production. Zircon at Mach 9? The experimental rocket powered X-15 going at mach 6.7 melted several external components, so, given Russia's inability to produce reliable kit and its propensity for flat out lying about the capabilities of its weapons systems (e.g. "the T90 is the best tank in the world") I'd say the claim is total BS. Possibly it reaches mach 5+ maybe even mach 6.

The only thing that matters is who has what actually operational.

Hi Dark Tech, Please do a video on the Pershing 2, The Hypersonic Missile that Terrified the Soviets and brought them to the Treaty Table in the 1980s, yet still seems to be as, if not more accurate than the "Modern" Russian Hypersonics.

Russia will never see it coming, because it won't become operational until 2035.

It would seem your data is outdated as we now know that the paper tiger Russia's Tsirkon is not a fully capable system as it is vulnerable to the basic Patriot missile defense system.

Ok ok! Show missles radically maneuvering at launch (well below max speed). Where's the videos of them turning in their own length at super or hypersonic speeds? Hmmmm cause they don't exist? It's OK - don't let physics throw cold water on the story.

if you genuinely believe Russia has a missile that can hit mach 9 I have a bridge for sale...

It's insane when missiles can pull 50+ G. That's is wild!

Only mach 2?

This guy can speak a lot faster then any hypersonic missile can go

did u just shake there tic-tacs at us...

Long Live NATO!!

Russia's problem is also numbers. The dreaded Su-57, they only have 17 of them and only about 8 are operational at anyone time. So, they have some pretty formidable stuff but only a few. So you only have to defeat a few.

First, Russia only gets to lie so many times about their weapons before the forfeit any belief and stated capabilities, especially consistent over Mach 9 flight. I would lay my life on that among other capabilities being fictional. However, this new missile from Norway and Germany isn’t expected to be ready until 2035? Was that a typo in the script lol? Who knows where we’re going to be in a decade from now with the technology a decade from now, it would almost be obsolete by the time it was deployed. I have a feeling we’re missing quite a bit of information here. Are used to love this channel but now it seems every video they just take like two sentences of information and drag it out over 8 to 10 minutes, repeating the same thing and showing the same stock footage. Definitely miss the Dark channel.

IF Russia has "hypersonic" missiles I think they would've used them by now.

So the best of the best of the European missile producing manufacturers will need over 10 years to develop and manufacture a Mach 2 anti ship missile? Really? USSR had the Mach 2.5 anti ship missiles like the P-700 Granit since the 1970s. USA has multiple supersonic missiles in its inventory, from the Mach 3.5 SM-6 missile, which beside being an anti missile missile, also has anti ship capability, to HARM anti radiation missile, reaching Mach 2,5, to the newly developed PrSM that reaches Mach 5 in its ballistic arch trajectory.. And this video claims that the Norwegian and German companies are proud to bring a Mach 2 anti ship missile in 10 years? Are you ef-ing kidding me? As far as the Russian "ground braking, hypersonic and invincible" Zircon missile is concerned, I don't believe a single word coming out of the mouth of the war criminal Putin.. He was also bragging with the "invincible" Kinzhal hypersonic missile being used in Ukraine, until the Patriots arrived and started to knock out 10 out of 10 fired every night... So the fact that Putin said that Zircon is a Mach 9 hypersonic cruise missile means less than if it was written on a door of your local pub's bathroom. P.S. Kongsberg, the producer of the NSM (Naval strike missile) is now, in the context of developing a new supersonic missile, is saying that NSM is an obsolete missile.. But for the last 10 years they've been saying how the NSM is a cutting edge anti ship missile using the pioneering technology for targeting ships, and how it being subsonic and sporting a ridiculously small warhead, is irrelevant.. Now suddenly NSM's slow speed and small warhead make it obsolete.. WTF?? Even the US Navy decided to use the NSM on their upcoming new Constellation class of frigates, as well as on the LCS and some destroyers.. Why did they do that? I've always said NSM is a lemon, especially compared to the new anti ship missile that was recently developed and entered service - the LRASM. LRASM can be fired from the VLS tubes, has a much longer range than NSM, 3 times larger warhead and an actual innovative targeting technology that passively sniffs out enemy ships.. Unfortunately LRSM is also subsonic but still massively superior to NSM..

3SM - mach 2, crap range and 11 years out. WTF?

It's like you're reading a ChatGPT script with a prompt saying, "How many ways can I say the same thing about "X" - write your own scripts - you say the same thing 6 different ways for like 10 minutes. You don't sound interested in what you're reading - I don't think you are.

Take any claim coming out of Russia about their weapons systems with a huge grain of salt. And, if you know any physics at all, you'll know that a mach 9 capability will not be for a missile system that is launched from the surface. Anti-ship missiles tend to be sea skimming systems. Anything that was travelling at mach 9 at any height below 70K feet would melt before it even got anywhere near a target. So, an anti-ship missile? Very doubtful. Nearly all hypersonic weapons are launched at altitude from high flying aircraft and/or are boosted to the upper atmosphere/space by rockets. Unless the projectile is coming almost vertically down upon its target, it invariably slows to high supersonic speeds before it hits. If the Zircon was tested at mach 9, it was doing so at a substantial height, not down low. At most, such a capability might give the target a few less seconds to react to an attack, once the missile dropped into the high supersonic flight regime. The hypersonic flight would only apply to the missile's ingress to the target, meaning if it took a supersonic missile 10 minutes to get a to a target, the hypersonic missile might do it in 2 minutes. Faster, yes, but not impossible to counter. So, apart from the Russian claims, don't believe the hyperbolic nonsense prattled about by the media, either.

Still trying to figure out the connection between increased maneuverability and hypersonic speed. Marketing? .

Zircon😂 should be called a zirconia. Who believes what Russia says.

So divide Russian recent claims by 10 to get a reasonable estimate & by 3 if made long ago!!! :)

Mach 2 is slower then most shoulder 😆 launched weapon's or even some fighter jets can go faster than that

Cant out run a laser mach nine is nothing to something that travels faster 186.000 mile per second

We've learned all about Russian technology 😂 they can't bolt a drop bomb to a plane.

Ready by 2035. Does Russia even have a bluev water Navy?

...made in Russia?...wouldn`t worry too much about it...

Ill put my money on 3sm vs zircon

Ain’t nobody gonna be here in 2035 if Biden gets reelected

For some reason I don't believe Rasputin the snake oil salesman

again some new old weapon prototype you gave away

The G-s they pull is crazy.

Brahmos, P-800

The last 180 years have been full of things we've never seen before from repeaters, gatling guns, planes, AA missles, ICBMs, drones ect. I wish for peaceful things we've never seen before like viable plastic recycling. Not a tree hugger but really now.

Nearly all missiles can be land, sea or airborne today.

Meanwhile German rocket scientists: WE ARE SO BACK!

Jeez, how to make a short story long …

This channel has gone to garbage

It's foolish to believe Russia and/or China has a missle that goes Mach 9. Perhaps Russia meant to say Mach 0.9 Lol!

2:34 That’s a Swedish flag.

"Claims". Means but kiss

Hypesonic it's at leat 5Mh ( no russia no china Have it - This - The missile is expected to be delivered from 2035... now Best is Gabriel5 - In 2021, IAI and Thales jointly marketed a variant of the Gabriel V/Blue Spear called Sea Serpent to the Royal Navy

NO MORE SUB-SONICS.

7.5 min of tech babble crap 2 min of actual info

LOL - the hyperbolic propaganda is strong in this video.

Russia has nothing

There are better missles then the sm3 the sm6 maybe?

Mach 2😅

Wow but why isn't the USA working on this and not Nato??

In order to fight an extended war with a near peer adversary that has the capability of targeting NATO defense manufacturing, NATO and the US need to begin to build their defense manufacturing deep underground with multiple camouflage entrances and exits to protect against attacks against them and NATO needs to develop multilayer air and missile defenses to protect all of it's strategic infrastructure. NATO needs to allow NATO countries to stockpile prepositioned ammunitions and supplies in deep underground facilities and keep them as secret and defended as possible. With today's technologies, it is difficult to keep bases and supplies secret. But NATO needs to solve those problems. On the other hand, Russia, for example, is heavily dependent on rail and it should be easy for NATO to destroy Russia's rail system.

It's because of American money and advanced weaponry that allows NATO to stand strong against Russia. Without the US, NATO would be greatly challenged by Russia.

Russia's New Worst Nightmare, I think I'll skip this video...

Soon, older weapons will be like the old Swordfish torpedo plane. New weapons won’t be able to lock on to older slower missiles.

When Germany gets involved in weapons systems, they leave no holds barred.

i can't fucking wait

Introducing the Laser Missile - Game Over!

No views in 44 seconds? Bro fell off🤷🏻‍♂️

European missiles... no thanks

I really don't get the beginning of this video what does Hypersonic missiles have to do with this anti-ship missile

Oh my, what good things that this money could do to help the world instead of destroying lives and wealth?

Like your overly hyperbolic titles...

such nafo copium LOL

It's sad that we humans can continue to develop weapons to destroy each other at such a rapid pace. I'm an ex Submarine sailor and served aboard Nuke boats with Nuke weapons and that was 50 years ago. One Submarine has the firepower to destroy any continent within minutes and we discussed this back in the day with each other aboard the boat. Todays subs are much more powerful, so let that sink in. Who are and where are the peacemakers? Keep this up and we will surely destroy ourselves before it's all over. Negotiate, make deals, trade with one another to each ones benefit and keep our children and grandchildren safe from the psychopaths that are in our current governments.

One ship carrying 30 Zircons could launch from 500 miles away and destroy an entire fleet before they would be in range with a 120 mile missile. Western nations better get their own hypersonic weapons going pretty quickly.

Long live mother Russia!!!
