Why 'Mako' could be a game changer for the US military ? 

The video says that the MAKO has a rocket engine which is something I haven't heard Lockheed mentioning at all. I highly doubt it that suddenly we can produce hypersonic cruise missiles whose propulsion is a 100 year old rocket engine technology. And I especially doubt that MAKO could be such a relatively small missile that can fit inside F-35's weapon bays, unless it's scramjet powered... Anyway, an interesting missile, and if it could really become operational tomorrow and be massively, and relatively cheaply produced, I say start the stamping machines and let's put them on every US tactical and strategic aircraft in our inventory...

@@markbrisec3972 An AIM-120 weights 365lbs and travels at mach 4 This missile weight 1300lbs, roughly the same weight AIM-54 which traveled at Mach 5 and that a missile made in 1970s

​@@verdebusterAP​@verdebusterAP There's a difference between the Air 2 air and attack cruise missile. The first one flies with a powered flight for the first 50-100 seconds and then coasts towards its target while the cruise missile has to fly low in the atmospbere where the Air is dense. Ths type of flight is completely different.. Boost glide hypersonic missile is another story all together.. Massive difference with a cruise missile which has to "cruise" during the whole flight.

@@vegass04 There is no difference between them

@@verdebusterAP You're grosely wrong.. The name "cruise" in cruise missile implies the missile is cruising on its own power throughout its flighpath, relatively close to the surface. A2a missile coast 80% of its flight path in the upper less dense part of the atmosphere. They are fucking not the same..

maybe. if, someday. if the Russians and the Chinese wait

@@tornado-s-2012”The Russians” have nothing like this lmao. Their “hypersonics” are a fraud. The Kinzhal is just a regular ballistic missile and the Zirkon really only reaches speeds of around Mach 3, well short of the hypersonic threshold (Mach 5), which we know for sure because that’s the speed that the Patriot system picked up before it shot it down. Both Zirkon and Kinzhal have repeatedly been intercepted in Ukraine. Russia has no modern hypersonic (maneuverable at hypersonic speeds, anything else isn’t impressive whatsoever and has been around for half a century) weapons. China is a bit different, but they also have no proof for weapons that can maneuver at hypersonic speeds although they have the funds and the brains to pull it off - Russia doesn’t. The only country who could prove these capabilities so far is the US. MAKO, LRHW, and AGM-183A all exist and work.

Watch Sandbox on this. It (supposedly) doesn't need an apogee curve to go hypersonic. It'd be nice if does work.

That's actually a good question.

It’s a surprise but Mach 5 is slow!

​@@David-fj5lzsmooth brain troll first off nobody confirmed it's speed it's classified what isn't classified is the revolutionary engine it uses. You sound very intelligent saying mach 5 is slow but what other hypersonic missile can maneuver ? Go ahead I'll wait

Just look at the t-14 and the su57 now you really still think that about Russia?

@@marvelous5038 lol 😂 the T14 there like 6 total. And even less SU 57 which is not even on par with the F22 that’s been around since the nineties

​@@DirkDiggler-qp3vmin hypersonic missile, us/west left behind than russia, china, even iran/North Korea😂😂

@@fajarfaranza4280 Past tense

@@fajarfaranza4280I mean well the west have very good counter measures for these and the east doesn’t so…💀

It's not new to you because you don't understand the type of engine it uses. It's nothing like the Phoenix missile just because the range might be the same.. do some research about the engine you will see why Lockheed is the company that is rumored to have off world technology. You definitely are a foreigner 😂

@@jessegatto7759 I grew up net to top gun fighter school in the 80s wing commanders up and down my street, one of the trained Gorge bush Jr on the s-3 . I disined the air frame for the B-2 win I was 14 years old , a year later dising concept for f-22 and 23 Purposed the F35 and f32 programs, Originally they were bouth to be built , The BOP was my dising . As far as being a foreigner, I was bourn in shamefully east L,A, Ethnicity you could say this , but that would be true about anyone that is not a native american , like the ones that cared for me as a young child on the reservation in arizona, that is why I named the B-2 the spirit In navajo to call a child a black hawk means a good boy . They asked me what I wanted as a child and I said I wanted to be one , this got twisted into one of my many nick names back in italy falako. The american eagle , they also called me neagro , I Cara 7 thousand year old ancient royal egyptian blood line , so it's negro arabic although for a long time egyptians did not consider themselves to be arabic and egypt was coptic Christian. Your right that I don't know about the new engine, I figured it would be classified , interesting mako is an Italian Word , just means to make

dont let the US fail you NASA been working on this for 40 years. IF the US says its behind its for funding

High ranking officials

Your mom.

There is plenty S-400 radar, SHORADs, EW sites, Chinese DFs launchers

It’s a nuclear warhead

@@andreww1225 Mako is for conventional strikes not nuclear

They have designed new pileons for stealth aircraft

They probably will employ common sense, and I don't know, not load the external pylons and only use the two internal stores to maintain the stealthy profile. Just spitballing here.

Trump Is fake.

Atacms?

@@nicolasolton Cost nearly 1mill each produce, and Russia had been shooting them down… sooo.. plus hypersonics…

@@Jasper-MLlike those himars been shooting down Russian hypersonic missiles that they claimed to be “unstoppable” Bffr

after 2 years, Russia still failure in Ukraine... Hyper sonic missile of Russia is only Hyper sonic Shovel...
