Lol you are a bad researcher and forgot Australia is ahead of most in hypersonics. Australia has world fastest scramjet at mach 12 and test fly a scramjet drone this year. Australia helped USA with their hypersonics in HIFIRE and now SCIFIRE and HAWC scramjet missile was developed through it. China claims have world fastest hypersonic wind tunnels at mach 33, but stole Australian Ray Stalker test tunnel design of a free piston. Ray Stalker was first to get essence of flight from scramjets. Australia has world fastest hypersonic wind tunnel at mach 35 with a new tunnel design.
You forgot to mention that Brazil, Australia and Germany, in addition to their proprietary programs, also develop the Hexafly-INT program. In the case of Brazil, the first controlled hypersonic vehicle developed entirely by Brazil was the SONDA IV (1984), reached 3,300 m/s of speed, with acceleration 110 m/s², had 1 m in diameter with 500 kg of payload, weighed with the stages launch weight 7,200 kg. It was fired 4 times publicly (11/21/1984 - 11/19/1985 - 10/08/1987 - 04/28/1989) and another 3 militarily, all successfully. It was controlled by vectored thrust in a mobile nozzle + gas injection, its piloting systems for attitude control were all developed by CTA/IEAV (Henry T. Nagamatsu Laboratory)... One of the Spin-offs of this program was the development of the new type of steel, 300M steel was created to replace Maraging steel, which was five times more expensive than what was then imported by Brazil, and developed 300M with COPPE/UFRJ and national steel companies. Remembering that Brazil inaugurated its first hypersonic wind tunnel (T1) in 1986, developed by ITA/CTA reached test speeds of mach 6.3. In 1992 it already had the second tunnel (T2) with 12 meters and possible test speeds of mach 15.0 In 2006 it inaugurated its 3rd hypersonic tunnel (T3) with mach 25x and already the largest in Latin America with 24 meters In 2019 T4 hypersonic tunnel commissioned and in operation the largest in the Southern Hemisphere mach 30x T5 in the implementation phase, the fifth hypersonic tunnel in Brazil, whose total length is 50 meters, capable of producing hypervelocity flows, close to orbital speeds over laboratory prototypes of up to 4 m in length and 1.2 m in wingspan. For references search "projeto PropHiper" (PropHiper project) or 14-X Greetings from Brazil!
Brazil has a surprisingly high tech aerospace industry... Unfortunately those project don't seem like they enter the commercializing stage very often. Except embraer of course. I mean, maybe they do but they don't make the news or something.
@@Millennium7HistoryTech The correct name for research of the Brazilian program is called "projeto PROPHIPER" (PropHiper project) although it is popularly known by the name of the hypersonic glider developed in the project called 14-X
@@Mr30friends One detail that might help explain it is the fact that most of it is done in military instituitions with no or very little outside collaboration from the civillian side. Ad that to the natural military protectiveness of what they perceive to be their technologies. For instance, in the 80's there was a lot of media talk (it helps when on eTV broadcaster has >70% audience) about the Osorio MBT and the PIranha heat seeking missile. But, ENGESA (designer and producer of the Osorio) went bankrupt and Piranha turned to vapor.
Australia has world fastest scramjet at mach 12 and test fly a scramjet drone with it this year. Australia helped USA with their hypersonics during HIFIRE and now SCIFIRE developed the HAWC USA scramjet missile. China stole Australian Ray Stalker test tunnel designs and claimed to the world that theirs is world fastest at mach 33, but Australia designed a new one that reaches over mach 35. Australia company Hypersonixs with world fastest scramjet won a USA DUI HYCAT contract to build USA hypersonic vehicles and won it over 63 other companies world wide.
I first heard about the brazilian hypersonic in 2008.... Fun fact: It's called 14-X as an homage to Brazil's first airplane 14-bis (which was built around the same time as the Wright flyer)
I heard about that in a video from Greg’s airplanes. The plane was made by Santos Dumont and was claimed to be the first airplane. Though, Greg has a good case against that.
Middle of 1906 is not exactly "around the same time as the Wright flyer" -> "First heavier-than-air unaided takeoff and flight of more than 25 m (82 ft) in Europe: was made by Alberto Santos-Dumont, flew a distance of 60 m (200 ft) in his 14-bis to win the Archdeacon Prize on October 23, 1906." -> Santos-Dumont was a Brazilian guy but he lived in Paris->France, the plane was build in France and it was flying in France...
You Mean The world first plane , because has a pilot my self i don't consider 10sec flight from catapulted guys to be an airplane , the Wright brothers had a tremendous importance on the way airplanes are build even today , Santos Dummond most sucssefull project the demoisele had huge influence off the WrightBrothers designs , how ever the WrightFlyer is not an airplane , and Santos Dummond 14bis is , Brazilian Guy Santos Dummond Invented the Airplane in 1906 in Paris
Cool video! i would have an suggestion on an future video, its about different tipes of countermesuares and decoys. How they work and how effective they are. Especially the Iskander decoys you mentioned in one or your videos. I really cant find good information on that matter on youtube. Love your channel!!!! and keep up the good work xD
Good video :) One philosophical counterpoint on "why is everyone doing it": During the cold war (or a portion of it anyway), the US strongly felt that they had vastly more nuclear weapons than was necessary to achieve deterrence. _However_ there were a handful of influential persons in the USSR who philosophically believed that the USSR could "win" a nuclear war, if they could get ahead in the nuclear arms race. So for a period of around a decade, the US continued to over-produce nuclear arms, simply to deter those particular persons. Which would seem very wasteful, but then again, we're talking about preventing global nuclear war. Ironically, the US's over-production of nukes in this period was used as evidence in arguments _by_ the persons in the USSR who thought they could win a nulcear war. Quite an ouroboros. Kinda reminds me that there was way too much truth in the movie Dr Stragelove. I don't think HS missile research is quite like _that_ But there's a hint of the age old "But they have them, so we need them" going on.
Kudos for the portuguese pronunciation. It was on point. I would love to hear about tecnological approaches used by Embraer, the planned use for the Gripen and the legacy of Engesa. Thanks for the great content.
Here are all of the potential programs of hypersonic weaponry that includes HGV and cruise missile technology from the U.S. (for those that are curious) - U.S. Navy-Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) - U.S. Navy-Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Increment 2 (OASuW Inc 2), also known as Hypersonic Air-Launched OASuW (HALO) - U.S. Army-Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) - U.S. Air Force-AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW, pronounced “arrow”) *CANCELED* - U.S. Air Force-Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) - DARPA-Tactical Boost Glide (TBG) - DARPA-Operational Fires (OpFires) - DARPA-More Opportunities with Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (MOHAWC, pronounced “mohawk”). - SCIFiRE - Screaming Arrow - Precision Strike (Inc 1 and 4)
SCIFIRE is Australian and USA lol. is continue on from HIFIRE stands for Southern Cross Integrated Flight Research Experiment (SCIFiRE). Because Australia stands under the southern cross star constellation. SCIFIRE Australia and USA developed HAWC scramjet missile. Australian company involved in HIFIRE has world fastest scramjet at mach 12 and test fly a scramjet drone this year. hopefully beating any USA programme like Hermeus programme. Australian company with world fastest scramjet reached mach 10 in HIFIRE 2006. and just won a USA DUI HYCAT contract to build USA hypersonic vehicles.
Regarding Brazilian stuff, the 14-bis was claimed to be the first airplane. It would be a good break from the war related topics if it the case for it to be or not to be the first controllable airplane can be discussed.
First heavier-than-air unaided takeoff and flight of more than 25 m (82 ft) in Europe: was made by Alberto Santos-Dumont, flew a distance of 60 m (200 ft) in his 14-bis to win the Archdeacon Prize on October 23, 1906. And it would be more French stuff as this Brazilian constructor was living, working and flying this plane in Paris...
Is anyone else not fascinated by the maturity of the science such that smaller countries think they can join the party? Whether it really works or not the potential for new science is amazing........
Australia is a world leader in hypersonics too lol and even this bad researcher doesn't know it. Australia helped USA in their hypersonics and can research a lot of it if follow HIFIRE. Australian Ray Stalker was first to get essence of flight from scramjets and invented hypersonic wind tunnels to test and are sold world wide. China stole this Australian designed wind tunnels and claim have world fastest at mach 33. but Australia built newer version that reaches over mach 35. Australian company made a scramjet that reached mach 10 in HIFIRE 2006 and now new one has reached mach 12 and Australian company test fly a scramjet drone this year. SCIFIRE is a joint USA, Australia hypersonics programme follow on from HIFIRE and developed USA famous HAWC scramjet missile through this programme.
China has the world biggest and fastest wind tunnel at Mach 30. It is not those tiny matchbox size hypersonic wind tunnel. Also people are forgetting North Korea. They have a hypersonic missile very similar to China's DF.
lol China stole Australian Ray Stalker hypersonic wind tunnel design.. is a free piston design and guess what Australia built a newer one since and reaches over mach 35.. Australia has world fastest scramjet at mach 12 and test fly a scramjet drone this year. Way ahead of China lol... China’s record-breaking wind tunnel goes Mach 33 thanks to Australian invention The world’s largest free-piston driven shock tunnel will allow China to conduct hypersonic experiments and test its space innovations A free-piston driven tunnel is known as a Stalker tube, named after Australian space engineer Raymond Stalker who made an engineering breakthrough another piece China’s new hypersonic test tunnel zooms by US Mach 33 test facility draws on Australian technology and marks a quantum surge past US Mach 7 test capabilities
Sorry to break it to you but you forgot the french, they are also develolping them, it's called V-MAX (Véhicule Manœuvrant Expérimental) the first test should happen this year
2:55 German small vehicle testing aerodynamic config with sharp edges re-entry from 200 km above earths surface. Also thermal protection for sharp edges. Same tech could be used in a hypersonic glider
Thank you as allways for you're no B.S. informative videos, but most of all for you're sence of humor 😄 P.s. Otis, Don't listen to microwaves, there on a different wavelength!
Ciao Millennium, sarebbe interessante avere un bel video sui droni russi lancet che sembrano essere molto efficaci e di difficile intercettazione. Si hanno anche poche notizie su utilizzo di sistemi shilka e tunguska: saranno efficaci o sono poco utilizzati? Grazie per i tuoi video!!
The Iranians are developing a Hypersonic air-to-air missile. It will equip the F313, which will carry 8; 6 on under wing hardpoints, one on a centerline station and one across the pilot's lap.
if you look at the landing gear of that toy model, you will see the smallest car weighs more. Its an empty model. No engine no electronics. Just barely made a toy model. Barely. Nothing is going on the wing of f313 and that model is not going to fly. Not with any humans inside. Maybe remote controlled toy to be called an autonomous drone. Like the real ones others have.
Video interessantissimi. Ne ho fatto una maratona ultimamente e non posso fare a meno di chiedermi di cosa ti occupi nella vita professionale. Non dico la tua pagina LinkedIn ma orietativamente di cosa ti occupi?
Canadian ChatGPT5 2024: "You must apologize. Your accounts have been frozen. You have 1 minute to apologize or police will be sent. Trudeau wants you to feel love. Respect. Happiness.

Hypersonic missiles strike fear into the hearts of politicians and ignorant members of the public, but they cause only mild concern in military communities. They are very difficult to shoot down early in flight, which means that they must be shot down near to their target, a bit like sea-skimming anti-ship missiles. This is something which is difficult to achieve reliably. Ballistic hypersonic missiles are extremely inaccurate precisely because they travel so fast; if they perform terminal guidance, they have to slow down to speeds at which they are just as vulnerable to counter-measures as more normal weapons.
Thank you for this video. Like so many others that you have done, this addresses an issue that is extremely important for people to know about but which is little covered by mainstream media. If Russia is to lose its lead in hypersonic technology, I would think it likely that it would be the Chinese who supersede them, but, from what little information you provide on Brazil's approach, should it prove out, I could see it possibly providing an interesting challenge.
Russia is not leading in hypersonic technology. Nobody is leading. Every country has its own standards. USA developing TBCC, Dual-mode scramjet, miniaturize gliders - Russia or China did not achieved success in these technologies. China and Russia develop primitive hypersonic weapon. USA would never do the same.
@@andand1991 And the US does not as yet POSSESS hypersonic weapons whereas Russia and China have both deployed them and are working on second generation hypersonics. You need to understand that the US has ZERO experience with deployed hypersonics whereas such experiences are absolutely necessary in the development of any weapons so as to elicit the best possible performance.. HMMM. . . Think of it this way, how many FULLY FUNCTIONING high speed rail systems does the US possess. ZERO. There is one, but the system does NOT work at anywhere nearly the level of the trains in Japan and China. (And do not start the conversation about developing the hyperloop because it remains, as yet, a dream. Consider too that Russia is annually adding far more qualified scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians to its base than does the US and China vastly outdoes Russia with its annual addition of about four million to their countries base. Further, look at where the general picture is for US technology in the near term. The latest and greatest addition to its wunderwaffe of aircraft, the F-35, which was only beginning deployment about a decade ago, is slated to begin ret6irement in about ten years and is currently being superseded in purchasing by the F-15E. The F-35 requires too high of maintenance costs and down time between flights and, in addition, it has never come even close to meeting the combat readiness standards demanded by the Air Force. Though the F-15E is an excellent platform, it remains basically a fourth generation fighter whose basic development began in the late 1960's. I can go on and on, but my point is this, you can work forever and spend vast quantities of money on dreams that never prove out, or you can take the practical approach, go with what works, and the build on that. That process is how the US wound up creating working weapons systems from WW II through the 1980's, and that approach is how Russia has created what is currently the most powerful, modern military in the world today. If you do not believe that, just compare the US and the Russian GTA systems working today. Russia has a fully integrated system that they began designing and building up in the late 1950's. Currently, they have defense systems IN PLACE that include not only hypersonic missiles (the newly deployed S-300's) but the new S-350 which runs entirely on AI. The best US GTA is the Patriot system designed for defense against ballistic missile systems is the newest version of which is deployed in Ukraine. This version of the Patriot MIGHT accidentally down a hypersonic, but only with a great deal of luck and, as we have witnessed, the wasteful expenditure (though without success against the Russian hypersonics in this case as the evidence displayed by the city mayor of the 'missile' showed it to be an underground water pipe) of large numbers of Patriot missiles (32). 32 missiles and all they bagged was a buried water pipe. That situation, more than anything else, seems to best exemplify the current state of US technology.
@@cliffordterry2133 t dictators countries like Russia and China deployed hypersonic weapon for showcase and propaganda in few items quantity. Hypersonic weapon require miniaturization which was not done by Russia or China, miniaturization is straight road to mass production. I don't want comment other nonsense you wrote about F-35 and Patriot.
@@wallacemjr I do not know why you would dismiss Brazil as you do. Do you know more about what Brazil is working on than the information presented in the video. I do not claim any special knowledge. However, the information as presented in the video is interesting for the ideas being presented, though very limited. You never know where perspectives outside 'the box' may lead. Even when they do not directly result in the device expectations being met, they may give rise to other ideas that may influence other developments.
In WW2, battleships lost their primary purpose (win Naval battles). Carriers destroyed them from a safe distance. Today hypersonic glide vehicles such as DF21D. DF-17, DF-26 and recently DF-27 have made Carrier task forces sitting ducks. With networked satellite tracking, the task force ships will be eliminated with impunity, like shooting fish in a barrel.
Funny. One thing i learned from japanese in ww2 is that carriers sink, airbases don't. Spam airbase until you ran out of islands is a good idea for defence.
If Russia and China refer to Kinzhal and YJ-21 as hypersonic missiles, it is worth noting that USA had a similar missile called Skybolt in the 1960s. Skybolt was capable of being launched from an aircraft and reach speeds of Mach 12.
@@avus-kw2f213 He still has not made it lol. Australia has world fastest scramjet at mach 12 and test flight of this drone is this year and just won a USA HYCAT DUI contract to build USA hypersonic vehicles. HIFIRE joint USA, Australia tests 2006 Australian scramjet reached mach 10 on a older design. SCIFIRE joint USA, Australia programme of AUKUS built HAWC USA scramjet missile and by 2025 Australia and USA will field this missile.
The best way to make sure Russia doesn't have Hyper-sonic Weapon is to control the definition of what is considered hyper-sonic. Obviously if we don't call the Kinzhal a Hyper-sonic missile, it will no longer fly at Mach 10 and maintain a hyper-sonic speed till impact or maneuver withing atmosphere. And if we write a News article on how Patriot intercepted Kinzhals, it will make it so. Use your brain guys. Russia can't have hyper-sonic weapons if we change the definition of what is considered a hyper-sonic weapon.
@@emilsinclair4190 There is only one proper definition of hypersonic weapon, It flies within the earths atmosphere at a hypersonic speed, can mauver within the atmosphere at such speeds, it maintains such speed during its terminal phase as well. Whether it uses a rocket engine to achieve this or scramjet to achieve this is irrelevant.
@@emilsinclair4190 Because There is no air resistance in space, you can achieve mach100 if you want and maneuver at whatever direction you want worry free. and within atmosphere if you are just supersonic than you are any other missile. Those 3 criteria, from previous comment, is what makes Hypersonic missile so hard to create and makes it so effective as a weapon.
@Malik-ur2si you do realise that sounds travels at different speach at different heights right? So this is already one problem for you. And while your definition explains why it needs to achieve the speed in atmosphere the explanation given by you in this comment would make intercontinental missiles hypersonic weapons. Now explain the maneuvered and terminal phase part? Also effective weapon? With icbs already being hard to intercept I see current hypersonic more or less as a waste of money (only anti ship weapons make sense rn)
Because to stop China and Russia hacking and spying etc. USA and Australia been developing hypersonics together since early 2000;s during HIFIRE. SCIFIRE joint USA, Australia tests developed HAWC Raytheon scramjet missile. Also Australian company Hypersonixs with world fastest scramjet at macg 12 will test fly a scramjet drone this year beating China, USA, and Russia in this field. USA gave a HYCAT DUI contract to this Australian company to build USA hypersonic vehicles.
They're not ahead of the United States. What do you mean? Russia and China are ahead of the United States, but the United States is in third place being the most developed in the technology that does not have any in service.
@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle the US is decades away from developing it, maybe it will never happen. Don't forget that we are talking about the same country that fifty years after can't replicate the technology that took them to the moon.
@@pmnichols10 - U.S. Navy-Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) - U.S. Navy-Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Increment 2 (OASuW Inc 2), also known as Hypersonic Air-Launched OASuW (HALO) - U.S. Army-Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) - U.S. Air Force-AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW, pronounced “arrow”) *CANCELED* - U.S. Air Force-Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) - DARPA-Tactical Boost Glide (TBG) - DARPA-Operational Fires (OpFires) - DARPA-More Opportunities with Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (MOHAWC, pronounced “mohawk”). - SCIFiRE - Screaming Arrow - Precision Strike (Inc 1 and 4) All of these are under research and development currently with exception to one.

The Iranian program is a quasi ballistic missile, not the real deal hypersonic platform most other countries are chasing after (hypersonic glide and cruise vehicles) I suspect the same is with NK
Nah north korean is actually df-17 copy df-17 is a glide vehicle tho.Evan if iran ones it quaisi they are a very good Alley of north korea i will not get surprised if north korea provides them glide vehicle technology.
@@rifat6913Yeah that's a possibility both Iran and North Korea are allies I wouldn't be surprised if transferring of technology of HGV's were to be given to Iran.
It is not that they are useless, but rather that the opportunity cost of development and deployment could be greater than their utility. A single supersonic is more useful than a single standard cruise missile. But, is it more than the 50 we could have built for the same cost and time? It really depends on the circumstances.
@@andresmartinezramos7513 by that logic fighter jets and tanks are a waste, added capability is worth the increased cost, a single hypersonic can often do what 20 cruise missiles couldn't against working air defense
@@1KosovoJeSrbija1 My logic is that we should analyze each system for it's merits and costs, then compare. I did not dismiss hypersonics, just argue we should be careful and measured. Strategic bombers made lots of sense, then fell out of fashion but still remain in niche roles for some countries. Not every country needs strategic bombers and trying to acquire them will come at the cost of other capabilities. Arguably, even hypersonics aren't capable against working air defence. (I know they do work better and have the ability of turning area defence systems into point defence, but one has to weigh the disadvantages as well). And the cost might not come out of subsonic cruise missiles, but for example ground force readiness
@@1KosovoJeSrbija1 You clearly do not understand force multipliers. Can one hypersonic missile do as much *military* damage as many cruise missiles costing the same amount of money ? Almost certainly not, unless your enemy is foolish enough to concentrate vast amounts of materiel in a small area. Think about obtaining air superiority, which is a very important thing in modern military doctrine. Obliterate one airfield completely or damage beyond repair many airfields, rendering the enemy air force inoperative ? The latter, in every single circumstance except the most extreme and/or outlandish.
Looks like the Iranians aren't taking Russia's double throw down, triple whammy, mammy jammers as a doable thing. Considering how badly the Russians have done to date, I think the Iranians were correct.
Up until the mid 1800s, for thousands of years, information could only travel as fast as a horse could run. The locomotive made the movement of things occur slightly faster. This is akin to the hypersonic weapons of today. Suddenly, with the invention of radio, we had the ability to send information at the speed of light. Weapons will soon achieve this same leap forward, for better or perhaps worse. Hypersonic weapons may fill an important, ten- or twenty-year gap in the thousands of years of human warfare, making them virtually insignificant. - j q t -
You're leaving out a lot of things. It takes so long for the United States to develop hypersonic weaponry, because they stopped researching and developing the technology in 2011. and then they didn't get back on track until 2019.
@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle Maybe they stopped because they hit a dead end. Think about a computer in 2011 and a computer in 2019. We worked on lasers for decades, but just now they are practical. throwing money at something when the tech is not there does not make it work.
Hypersonic missiles are tempting because they promise a (relatively) cheap to develop, cheap to use power projection tool that can't be intercepted. This is of course a myth. In most cases hypersonic missiles will be a blackhole of military funding. At best they may get a tool that works half as well as promised.
So what's the matter? How to throw a stone real fast? /sarcasm = false A more advanced civilisation would do exactly that probably, as a solar system is full of free floating ammo. But primitive earthlings have to science the shit out of that. Kinda ironic. We should grow up as a species and stop wasting energy with this nonsense. Just a random thought...^^
Iran still doesn't have a super sonic wind tunnel... that's why they are stuck with F5 design because that's the only thing they have access to the tech to actually upgrade ( anything else is already is as advanced as it is obtainable for them ) and they just can't design weapon separation for anything new... so they suddenly wish to skip lower mach speeds and go for two figures 🤔🙄 yeah right... what they do is to duckling after daddy Russia, if they say this or that t3ch will tip the balance of power in global geopolitics so it is gospel, they repeat it and ditch substantial amounts of money into it until Russia tries it in Ukraine with meh results and then suddenly the super duper wunder waffe Iranians are planning to use against and intimidate anyone who's breathing from their mouths between Jordan River all the way to the rocky mountains suddenly disappears from all their official announcements... until some dush who wants to milk IRGC for a good research budget can come up with a brand new idea... like that 313 thingy, or that tank from Tom Clancy's Endwar game...
There is a flurry of hypersonic activity, and the 3 superpowers are not the only ones aiming at hypersonic weapons.

I first heard about the brazilian hypersonic in 2008.... Fun fact: It's called 14-X as an homage to Brazil's first airplane 14-bis (which was built around the same time as the Wright flyer)
I heard about that in a video from Greg’s airplanes. The plane was made by Santos Dumont and was claimed to be the first airplane. Though, Greg has a good case against that.
Middle of 1906 is not exactly "around the same time as the Wright flyer" -> "First heavier-than-air unaided takeoff and flight of more than 25 m (82 ft) in Europe: was made by Alberto Santos-Dumont, flew a distance of 60 m (200 ft) in his 14-bis to win the Archdeacon Prize on October 23, 1906." -> Santos-Dumont was a Brazilian guy but he lived in Paris->France, the plane was build in France and it was flying in France...

Cool video! i would have an suggestion on an future video, its about different tipes of countermesuares and decoys. How they work and how effective they are.

Good video :)
One philosophical counterpoint on "why is everyone doing it": During the cold war (or a portion of it anyway), the US strongly felt that they had vastly more nuclear weapons than was necessary to achieve deterrence. _However_ there were a handful of influential persons in the USSR who philosophically believed that the USSR could "win" a nuclear war, if they could get ahead in the nuclear arms race. So for a period of around a decade, the US continued to over-produce nuclear arms, simply to deter those particular persons.
Which would seem very wasteful, but then again, we're talking about preventing global nuclear war.
Ironically, the US's over-production of nukes in this period was used as evidence in arguments _by_ the persons in the USSR who thought they could win a nulcear war.
Quite an ouroboros. Kinda reminds me that there was way too much truth in the movie Dr Stragelove.
I don't think HS missile research is quite like _that_ But there's a hint of the age old "But they have them, so we need them" going on.

Regarding Brazilian stuff, the 14-bis was claimed to be the first airplane. It would be a good break from the war related topics if it the case for it to be or not to be the first controllable airplane can be discussed.

And it would be more French stuff as this Brazilian constructor was living, working and flying this plane in Paris...
Is anyone else not fascinated by the maturity of the science such that smaller countries think they can join the party? Whether it really works or not the potential for new science is amazing........
Australia is a world leader in hypersonics too lol and even this bad researcher doesn't know it.
Australia helped USA in their hypersonics and can research a lot of it if follow HIFIRE.
Australian Ray Stalker was first to get essence of flight from scramjets and invented hypersonic wind tunnels to test and are sold world wide.
China stole this Australian designed wind tunnels and claim have world fastest at mach 33. but Australia built newer version that reaches over mach 35.
Australian company made a scramjet that reached mach 10 in HIFIRE 2006 and now new one has reached mach 12 and Australian company test fly a scramjet drone this year.
SCIFIRE is a joint USA, Australia hypersonics programme follow on from HIFIRE and developed USA famous HAWC scramjet missile through this programme.

Hypersonic missiles strike fear into the hearts of politicians and ignorant members of the public, but they cause only mild concern in military communities. They are very difficult to shoot down early in flight, which means that they must be shot down near to their target, a bit like sea-skimming anti-ship missiles. This is something which is difficult to achieve reliably.
Ballistic hypersonic missiles are extremely inaccurate precisely because they travel so fast; if they perform terminal guidance, they have to slow down to speeds at which they are just as vulnerable to counter-measures as more normal weapons.
Sounds like a post designed to keep sailer recruitment levels up.
Yea well Australi ahs world fastest scramjet and test fly a scramjet drone this year.. how's dem apples to spike fear in ya..
Thank you for this video. Like so many others that you have done, this addresses an issue that is extremely important for people to know about but which is little covered by mainstream media. If Russia is to lose its lead in hypersonic technology, I would think it likely that it would be the Chinese who supersede them, but, from what little information you provide on Brazil's approach, should it prove out, I could see it possibly providing an interesting challenge.
Russia is not leading in hypersonic technology. Nobody is leading. Every country has its own standards.
USA developing TBCC, Dual-mode scramjet, miniaturize gliders - Russia or China did not achieved success in these technologies.
China and Russia develop primitive hypersonic weapon. USA would never do the same.
Do not consider Brazil to lead anything outside of agricultural production, much less in the military area. There is no serious focus for anything.
@@andand1991 And the US does not as yet POSSESS hypersonic weapons whereas Russia and China have both deployed them and are working on second generation hypersonics. You need to understand that the US has ZERO experience with deployed hypersonics whereas such experiences are absolutely necessary in the development of any weapons so as to elicit the best possible performance.. HMMM. . . Think of it this way, how many FULLY FUNCTIONING high speed rail systems does the US possess. ZERO. There is one, but the system does NOT work at anywhere nearly the level of the trains in Japan and China. (And do not start the conversation about developing the hyperloop because it remains, as yet, a dream. Consider too that Russia is annually adding far more qualified scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians to its base than does the US and China vastly outdoes Russia with its annual addition of about four million to their countries base.
Further, look at where the general picture is for US technology in the near term. The latest and greatest addition to its wunderwaffe of aircraft, the F-35, which was only beginning deployment about a decade ago, is slated to begin ret6irement in about ten years and is currently being superseded in purchasing by the F-15E. The F-35 requires too high of maintenance costs and down time between flights and, in addition, it has never come even close to meeting the combat readiness standards demanded by the Air Force. Though the F-15E is an excellent platform, it remains basically a fourth generation fighter whose basic development began in the late 1960's.
I can go on and on, but my point is this, you can work forever and spend vast quantities of money on dreams that never prove out, or you can take the practical approach, go with what works, and the build on that. That process is how the US wound up creating working weapons systems from WW II through the 1980's, and that approach is how Russia has created what is currently the most powerful, modern military in the world today. If you do not believe that, just compare the US and the Russian GTA systems working today. Russia has a fully integrated system that they began designing and building up in the late 1950's. Currently, they have defense systems IN PLACE that include not only hypersonic missiles (the newly deployed S-300's) but the new S-350 which runs entirely on AI. The best US GTA is the Patriot system designed for defense against ballistic missile systems is the newest version of which is deployed in Ukraine. This version of the Patriot MIGHT accidentally down a hypersonic, but only with a great deal of luck and, as we have witnessed, the wasteful expenditure (though without success against the Russian hypersonics in this case as the evidence displayed by the city mayor of the 'missile' showed it to be an underground water pipe) of large numbers of Patriot missiles (32). 32 missiles and all they bagged was a buried water pipe. That situation, more than anything else, seems to best exemplify the current state of US technology.

@@wallacemjr I do not know why you would dismiss Brazil as you do. Do you know more about what Brazil is working on than the information presented in the video. I do not claim any special knowledge. However, the information as presented in the video is interesting for the ideas being presented, though very limited. You never know where perspectives outside 'the box' may lead. Even when they do not directly result in the device expectations being met, they may give rise to other ideas that may influence other developments.
In WW2, battleships lost their primary purpose (win Naval battles). Carriers destroyed them from a safe distance. Today hypersonic glide vehicles such as DF21D. DF-17, DF-26 and recently DF-27 have made Carrier task forces sitting ducks. With networked satellite tracking, the task force ships will be eliminated with impunity, like shooting fish in a barrel.
Funny. One thing i learned from japanese in ww2 is that carriers sink, airbases don't. Spam airbase until you ran out of islands is a good idea for defence.

Ahh, so Italians tease Germans the same way we Anglos tease French. Intriguing.
If Russia and China refer to Kinzhal and YJ-21 as hypersonic missiles, it is worth noting that USA had a similar missile called Skybolt in the 1960s. Skybolt was capable of being launched from an aircraft and reach speeds of Mach 12.
What about the Australians? They made a hypersonic vehicle in the 2000's
Maybe that’s in a later episode
@@avus-kw2f213 He still has not made it lol.
Australia has world fastest scramjet at mach 12 and test flight of this drone is this year and just won a USA HYCAT DUI contract to build USA hypersonic vehicles.
HIFIRE joint USA, Australia tests 2006 Australian scramjet reached mach 10 on a older design.
SCIFIRE joint USA, Australia programme of AUKUS built HAWC USA scramjet missile and by 2025 Australia and USA will field this missile.
The best way to make sure Russia doesn't have Hyper-sonic Weapon is to control the definition of what is considered hyper-sonic. Obviously if we don't call the Kinzhal a Hyper-sonic missile, it will no longer fly at Mach 10 and maintain a hyper-sonic speed till impact or maneuver withing atmosphere. And if we write a News article on how Patriot intercepted Kinzhals, it will make it so. Use your brain guys. Russia can't have hyper-sonic weapons if we change the definition of what is considered a hyper-sonic weapon.
Not rly change. Bc with older definitions international ballistic missiles are already hypersonic
@@emilsinclair4190 There is only one proper definition of hypersonic weapon, It flies within the earths atmosphere at a hypersonic speed, can mauver within the atmosphere at such speeds, it maintains such speed during its terminal phase as well. Whether it uses a rocket engine to achieve this or scramjet to achieve this is irrelevant.
@@Malik-ur2si how do you arrive at the idea that there is only one proper definition?
@@emilsinclair4190 Because There is no air resistance in space, you can achieve mach100 if you want and maneuver at whatever direction you want worry free. and within atmosphere if you are just supersonic than you are any other missile. Those 3 criteria, from previous comment, is what makes Hypersonic missile so hard to create and makes it so effective as a weapon.
@Malik-ur2si you do realise that sounds travels at different speach at different heights right? So this is already one problem for you.
And while your definition explains why it needs to achieve the speed in atmosphere the explanation given by you in this comment would make intercontinental missiles hypersonic weapons.
Now explain the maneuvered and terminal phase part?
Also effective weapon? With icbs already being hard to intercept I see current hypersonic more or less as a waste of money (only anti ship weapons make sense rn)
And why did Raytheon CEO lament American lack of progress in hypersonics two years ago?!

All you need is a basic understanding of kinematics to see hypersonic capability is useful
It is not that they are useless, but rather that the opportunity cost of development and deployment could be greater than their utility.
A single supersonic is more useful than a single standard cruise missile. But, is it more than the 50 we could have built for the same cost and time? It really depends on the circumstances.
@@andresmartinezramos7513 by that logic fighter jets and tanks are a waste, added capability is worth the increased cost, a single hypersonic can often do what 20 cruise missiles couldn't against working air defense
@@1KosovoJeSrbija1 My logic is that we should analyze each system for it's merits and costs, then compare.
I did not dismiss hypersonics, just argue we should be careful and measured. Strategic bombers made lots of sense, then fell out of fashion but still remain in niche roles for some countries. Not every country needs strategic bombers and trying to acquire them will come at the cost of other capabilities.
Arguably, even hypersonics aren't capable against working air defence. (I know they do work better and have the ability of turning area defence systems into point defence, but one has to weigh the disadvantages as well). And the cost might not come out of subsonic cruise missiles, but for example ground force readiness
@@1KosovoJeSrbija1 .. except that air defences CAN and DO shoot down hypersonic missiles, just not as well as slower munitions.
@@1KosovoJeSrbija1 You clearly do not understand force multipliers. Can one hypersonic missile do as much *military* damage as many cruise missiles costing the same amount of money ? Almost certainly not, unless your enemy is foolish enough to concentrate vast amounts of materiel in a small area. Think about obtaining air superiority, which is a very important thing in modern military doctrine. Obliterate one airfield completely or damage beyond repair many airfields, rendering the enemy air force inoperative ? The latter, in every single circumstance except the most extreme and/or outlandish.

Germany: "Oh, no reason, it just seems like fun."
Up until the mid 1800s, for thousands of years, information could only travel as fast as a horse could run. The locomotive made the movement of things occur slightly faster. This is akin to the hypersonic weapons of today. Suddenly, with the invention of radio, we had the ability to send information at the speed of light. Weapons will soon achieve this same leap forward, for better or perhaps worse. Hypersonic weapons may fill an important, ten- or twenty-year gap in the thousands of years of human warfare, making them virtually insignificant. - j q t -

Hypersonic weapons value depends on the ability of the weapon to maneuver. That is why it is taking so long for the U.S to develop hypersonic weapons.

Hypersonic missiles are tempting because they promise a (relatively) cheap to develop, cheap to use power projection tool that can't be intercepted. This is of course a myth.
