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.
Mach 9 dummy
Russia is far ahead in hypersonic but this is ABC...
@@bocko159 Well, at least they are not deleting comments. :)
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."
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’.
errr. No it doesn't. Most of the more reliable UFO encounters were stationary, before moving at speed without accelerating. And they were square.
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
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.
S500 and its counterpart can only intercept satelites, and ICBM's
@@Yourlocalhuman8 not true
Then why dont they stop HIMARS missles in Ukraine?
@@mauricio533 Because they’re not accurate 😅
Drones with hypersonic missles....now that's a game changer.
lol wtf
@@vulpritprooze space shooting
It would be interesting
Drones are vulnerable to laser weapons, bad choice. Rather use hypersonic long range bombers
Subsonic missile defense is pretty terrible to begin with. So I doubt this will change much.
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.
Only US have nuclear subs close to its rivals. So now with hypersonic missiles, this advantage is diluted.
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.
You are right. This is why US is not planning on using hypersonic weapons for nukes.
Its crazy to think that warfare went from fighting melee in close formation to this
very good bet it began with throwing rocks I'd say
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.
Einstein did say he didn't know what the 3rd World War would be fought with.
But he said the War after that would be fought with sticks and stones....
@@DarkZerol China used crossbow in 2100 years ago
now imagine every major country world having these amidst historically high food prices leading to countries collapsing and the year is 2022.
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.
This is the consequence of one country surrounding the world with 800 military bases and bullying countless other countries
@@nmew6926 Like russia or china?
@@jackassdemocrats4867 Russia demilitarizes NATO in Ukraine. NATO now cries how they are running out of equipment and ammo and unable to built more.
@@_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.
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.
Best defence: sharks with frick'n lasers
Whenever I see a guy from Australian strategic policy institute, I know that guy is a well paid rep for military industrial complex. Lol
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.
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 .
Thank you for hypersonic development, can have dinner tonight in Sydney and sill be back to melbourne for the footy!
Surface warships are nothing but “Sitting Ducks” to hypersonic missiles.
This includes the most modern aircraft carriers.
@Gregory Schroeder have you watched the Russian's hypersonic over Ukraine ? Recorded by civilians , its glowing , its plasma cloud...scary
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.
It’s very nice to know about hypersonic thank you man
4:47 I absolutely loved this reference. What a intelligent man!
They are now testing them in action. Not knowing where and when an attack comes. Scary stuff.
Kh-47M2 Kinzhal, 3M22 Zircon, BrahMos-II(with India) and Avangard as top tier
Kinzhal doesn't fall into the Category and Brahmos is Supersonic
@@jupiter3678 brahmos is hypersonic ,it's basicly an export version of the zircon
@@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
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? 💀
Hypersonics are so fast that they can actually deliver a payload similar to a small nuke just because of kinetic energy
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
@@kenthepen247gmail this can neutralized by laser weapons that cost nothing compare to that hypersonic missile.
@@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 RUclips... 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 🤣🤣🤣 you read too much. No it cannot.
@@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.
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.
@@ossiedunstan4419 ...fully certified nutcase. The only time your government approaches you will be to send you off to a mental asylum! 🙄
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.
HAWC is one missile the enemy will not like.
lol
That what I heard 3 times over my building in Montréal in 2021 September.. everyone in Montreal heard it to... Theese were not jets... It's was really more louder and Short ... Wind and earthquake came before the super sonic boom... I was so afraid that I suspended my FB and Twitter... Close friends called me and they were calling eachother as well on the phone... We all been traumatized by that drum sound... For me it was worse .. my building was shaking.. the wind was so strong. I'll never forget.
SSRPD is the latest tech , you may know it as "defying physics in flight" MACH 26+ not in low atmostphere but not needing atmosphere.
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.
@bob jardine yep. Coming soon.
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.
They made the world much more unpredictably dangerous place than it used to be. Why do we need more and more?
Weapons experts using Harry Potter allusions to describe capabilities. Love it!
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.
That caught me off guard as all. Pass me the SPF50.
Due to ozone depletion
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.
This guy looks like a southpark interpretation of people from new jersy lol
It does not Mater how fast it goes as long as it works?
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.
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!
@ألعاب الأندرويد bye Putin’s nut holder!🙄😒
What makes you think the other side have shown everything? Russia has shown, so imagine what they can have else.
@@mikim2580 🙄🧐🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SSRPD uses a "ceromet". It is not an homogeneous material. It is an assembly of peizeo , and antenna with beam forming, in the 100 to 1000 THz range . and is capable of interstella travel without "fuel" besides a modest reactor. That's right no thowing rocks like a cave man or NASA.
If only this much effort was put into dealing with climate change, we might be nearer resolving the problem.
100%
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.
We could use those billions to green the vast dry parts of Australia....
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.
For that response time, it requires quantum AI controlled anti air system to compute and aim. We are still in in binary computing of 1s and 0s lol
The only real use of hypersonic missiles is to carry nuclear weapons. They are far too expensive for other anything else.
"In-depth"? I love the ABC but this felt like a BTN episode.
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.
Imagine if Doomsday weaponry was only targeted @ asteroids ☄️, 🤔 💭 that would be M.A.D✅
It has changed everything Russia and China have them NATO doesn't
The DF17s China has on display must be show pieces, they lack moveable fins for late stage guidance.

@@epsilonxvi5675 Nope. Last one was success.
lol the US joint Australia hypersonic program has successfully tested hypersonic glide vehicles since 2001.
@@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.
Scientists making this kind of weapons should be done for the invention of , and charged for crimes against humanity.
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?

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
Lmao lma china leads the way in hypersonic technology their ones can circle the globe twice how about that please clean the ganges first
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.
Russia has also announced it has hypersonic missile interceptor missiles, recently developed, a world first.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@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.
What’s up with the audio? I had to crank it up to 11.
China and Russia: we've hypersonic missiles...
The U.S: waves the pride flag...
@Gregory Schroeder Please let me know what you're smoking, seems to be good...
@Gregory Schroeder Then l'll send you some...
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.
And where they won?
north korea have also hypersonic china and russia also teach them how to
Logically you invent hyposonic interceptors to take them out or refine lasers
I’m sure governments have been thinking about that. But it seems easier said than done.
Usually anti missile should be twice more maneuverable than missile it is hitting. So it is super difficult
For that response time, it requires quantum AI controlled anti air system to compute and aim. We are still in in binary computing of 1s and 0s lol
"so, the US looks to be in the lead" - they fired their first hypersoninc missile, just over 5000 km/h, and they are already in the lead.... lollollol
hypersonics aren't the wonderwafen weapons described here...
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
The only way will be a electronic “Shield” such as in the Space films
Last year China tested (2) hypersonic missiles that circled the globe at low altitudes.
“Sitting Ducks”
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.
In a year or two you would buy one in a hardware store...
Nothing like a little existential dread to start your morning
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 have used them. Like you said, they tested a few.
@@timg5463 just one
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.
How bout counter deploy the historical
Fu-fighter ? Spherical light orb
Speeds: unknown
Garbage In, Garbage Out
US left behind on hypersonic race, lmao
All the more reason to push ahead with Laser defence weapons that travel speed of light.
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.
At this point I don't think anything's impossible as long as you make it
It's never been tested over long distances because at that speed, it'll melt even before hitting the target
No , got tungsten head or ceramic ...
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!
Didnt you hear him saying , China did a test in 2021 their hypersonic missile circling the globe
So bad for US China, North Korea, Russia, is leading the way, and US is 20 years behind.
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 !!!
It is US who will go bankrupt when it is against China!
when will it end?
If u can't intercept hypersonic misile should try divert direction or make her miss target
Only diplomacy can help bring peace to this world, unless these politicians are sick of living on Earth.
High power lasers & particle lasers can destroy hypersonic missiles easy. This is yesterday's news.
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?!

What about the fastest lasers in the world?? :) Can it calculate those?
186000Miles/Second
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.
"At the height of the cold war there were 60,000 nuclear weapons, now, there's only 11,000"
HAHAHAHA, yeah, sure, sure, of course.
The New Arms Race is both high-power laser weapons and hypersonic missiles. The only way to stop hypersonic missiles flying in the sky is to use high-power laser weapons from space satellites weapons, military planes, naval ships, and on the ground to shoot to destroy them. Laser light travels so many times faster than any hypersonic missile. Hypersonic missiles which are traveling a few times faster than the speed of sound, can be detected, tracked, calculated, and identified by high-tech radars and space satellites with supercomputers due to so much heat generated behind and a lot of heat at the noses of the flying hypersonic missiles and can be shot down by laser weapons.
lol,same thought.Are you also Chinese?
Same though,lol.Are you also Chinese?
@@yuluoxianjun I am a relative of Bruce Lee, lol.
That's never happened though has it? When has a laser ever destroyed something through plasma?
Watch the video on RUclips showing how laser weapons are used on modern battlefields "Directed Energy The Time for Laser Weapon Systems Has Come"
One side develops hypersonic missiles the other does the same and also starts to figure a defence against it and so it goes on and on . Hypersonic missiles are not going to make much of a difference . America
and its allies still have their own nuclear weapons hypersonic missiles if used in a first strike would still invite retaliation . No one wins even with hypersonic weapons .
The winners are those who have them and can now use them to deter a first strike. They are particularly relevant to defeat a growing ABM capability where that capability is seen was a way to enhance first strike capability.
Wrong. hypersonic missiles have tactical applications and they do not have to travel to upper atmosphere like nukes thus making them more detectable. If they didnt make a difference the West would not be scrambling trying to catch up.
@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.

We need a computer fast enough to calculate the flight trajectory. And a kinetic missile that flies at hypersonic speeds that also maneuvers. That or we use high powered lasers that can aim and shoot them out of the sky.
If we can't calculate their trajectory, how can we keep our laser aimed at them in order to destroy them?
Also, this video failed to mention that hypersonic missiles fly so fast that they create a plasma envelop around them, which absorb radar and perhaps scatter laser light too.
So not only they can't be tracked in order to aim our laser at, our lasers are ineffective even if we manage to hit them with our laser beam.
it's technically maybe UV radiation given that gamma radiation is higher frequency than violent but not commonly called UV otherwise
That's why America is developing laser weapons.Speed is the missiles primary advantage.However lasers move at the speed of light and negates the missiles speed advantage.
A hyper sonic missile that is just a rod of depleted uranium that explodes inside the target
Damn

More than 30 countries will have them within 1 year ! Scramjet is really a quite simple construction . there are problems with heat so depending on what you demand from them you can make simple scarmjet with few ressources
Australia has had working scramjet for years lol..Aus USA has had sucessful testsof it for awhile now.
Easy to say for someone who hasn't built one!
😂😂
"kilo meters"
4:48 that doesn't fall into the Category of Hypersonics
Nobody wants to listen to us, now listen to us, this guy does what he always says
Give that movement ability to the old missiles why don't you.
we started with a stone axe when we lived in our cave.
Military grade lasers in orbit can knock down missiles.
They can't fly as fast as the speed of light
Lasers still need time to heat up the missile in order to destroy it
Also cost issues
For that response time, it requires quantum AI controlled anti air system to compute and aim. We are still in in binary computing of 1s and 0s lol
we need space army to look after this on land no one hav chance to control this
3:30 why do they yell behind the computers?
