The major nuclear powers have used ICBM's as the mainstay of their defence strategy for 60 year or so and even built some form of anti-ballistic shield to protect against. But in the last decade or so a new type of hypersonic missiles have been developed that promises to make ICBM's redundant but will they just fuel a new arms race as everyone one struggles to make them work in a reliable manner. So how do they compare to the decades-old tech of ICBM's and are they any better?

You NEED to watch this video before you buy your first ICBM.
But it didnt give me the most important info, where can I get an insurance for it?
I accept 1% deposit.
I almost bought quite a certain amount of V2 because Germany but now I think different.
Yes this really helped me when buying my first ICBM. Now i think i may get a Hypersonic Missile
buy it quick ATF doesn't have a tax for it yet.
Paul's arsenal of shirts can deal with both ICBM and hypersonic missiles at the same time.
They are also banned under various treaties. :-)
So can Joerg Sprave’s stafety T-shirts, I’ve heard...
@CAV M but without the nonsensical ramjet design in the thumbnail please 😅
Unfortunately, they can also be migraine inducing. Has happened to me a few times now.
Lol I loved today’s shirt. I was looking for the link to Paul’s clothier?
I'll sleep easier tonight knowing that I could be incinerated quicker in jig time without that tiresome delivery lag. Tardy thermo nuclear annihilation just isn't cricket.

HUMANS! Cannot afford to fight a serious virus. Spends 100 of billions on weapons to kill themselves a 1000 times over. No wonder Aliens never visited us - we are total idiots!!
Sort of, but at the same time, all the brain power, labor and resources going into developing this shit could have been used towards stuff like preventing pandemics or having better logistical systems in place to comfortably maintain a lockdown without people going hungry etc. Anyways, we're still possibly in the early parts of the Covid-19 crisis and the death toll could easily start mounting well in the millions or even tens of millions in a month or two.
nope, just 1 super contagious deadly virus is needed to wipe us all on the face of earth, these missiles will be useless..
@@TorbenRudgaard you know every single major weapons and military development has in some way benefited the entire populous. Satellites, radar, computer chips, fuel propellant, planes, vehicles, and generally a stronger military just made things less violent ironically, since a conflict would be quite costly and not worth it since the inception of international trade and economic growth and the maximisation of trade efficiency. Also, pretty much every country only spend about 3% or less of their GDP on the military and 15 to 20% on healthcare, and another 20 to 30% on social welfare, so I don't see your point really.

Nah, I think even an uncultured person can read the word 'missile' and be like: W H E R E D O I B U Y I T
Iran and north korea are going to see this review and probably by it if they like it.
Not a great review in any case...I'm still undecided which way to go!
🤣🤣🤣
We love those guides in North Korea! Keep them coming! ~(^.^~)
One other problem with hypersonic weapons is that while they are maneuverable, that maneuverability sucks! Pilots of the SR-71 discovered this when their guidance systems failed on occasions. Even with electronic flight control systems, a turn at those speeds could take an entire US state to complete. This is true of even unmanned missiles. It's not so much how much g-forces are involved but simply the speeds involved.
..I love the SR-71.. it's top speed is still classified as well as it's top altitude.. if you look at a simple diagram of the SR-71 engine it looks like it's the very first scramjet engine... well after certain things were enabled and it changed it's engine usage.. which is insane
this is not important. All that matters in this schenario is that the hyper sonic evade an interception. Not hitting a bullseye.
At the speed these missiles are moving at, even miniscule maneuvering ability creates a massive number of potential places that the missile might be at when any attempted interceptor missile reaches it, which makes successfully intercepting the missile essentially impossible
Well no shit not meaning to be rude or nothing but imagine driving a bmw on the highway at like 300kmph it will take a long distance to make any direction changes. Same for a plane.
Stealth extra high explosive (extra poundage) cruise missiles would be better I think..
this is easily the most concise presentation on hypersonic weapons I have seen!
I prefer to use a railgun system to launch WMD's, and to have said system on a bipedal mech. I think some people at Shadow Moses were working on something like that
The Horse-leaf's Cabbage if you hit something decently big like a hypersonic missile with a railgun all you would do is turn it into a cloud of debris heading for what ever the target is I would think tho right?
Nah, I heard that project at Shadow Moses was shut down due to a series of fatal accidents. Apparently some crazy nutjob running around destroying secret US property.
I am partial to the "rods from God" concept, myself. ;-). I often wonder if something like that has already been deployed.
", and to have said system on a bipedal mech"
If I didn't know this was a metal gear reference, I'd be talking about just how stupid it would be to use a bipedal mech as the weapon's platform.
Personally, I prefer building a giant complex composed of eight giant railguns guns networked to a very sophisticated computer to hit virtually anything with extreme accuracy. It not only can target at extreme ranges, but it also doubles as a decent anti-air and anti-ballistic defense, especially against meteors.
It seems having a capable ballistic missile submarine force, both nuclear and conventional, is even more important now to keep secondary strike options available.
Yeah, but having submarines is extremely expensive compared to having ICBM launch systems on the ground. Still, for countries that don't seem to mind the extra expenses (ehem, the US), having a capable submarine fleet over any other nuclear delivery system is the most sensible option.
I still remember the face of a friend of mine when i told him the the ICBMs the US keeps on its homeland are a “Nuclear Sponge” to draw in enemy warheads that could be better used somewhere else since the main nuclear missiles bearers are the nuclears subs.

Yeah I know what that feels like Mr. Hypersonic Missile... But don't worry things will get better.
It won't get better
Missiles are made to explode. But before then they are kept locked up and by the time they're launched they are very very sad. I think that's why its called that.
Don't worry mr.missile, it will all be over soon.
One could call it "flattening the curve" if that makes one feel better...

Another relative weakness of hypersonic missiles is the massive fuel requirements to fly that fast in atmosphere. This is illustrated by the fact that supersonic anti-ship missiles are enormous relative to their subsonic equivalents & often must fly well above sea level to conserve fuel. Meaning that warning times for supersonic & subsonic anti-ship missiles are in practice quite similar.
Which is overcome mostly by using oxygen from atmosphere. Hipersonic are also much slower than ICBMs, with friction being v^2, crusing hypersonic is facing much less friction.

Thanks for this video. I’m intrigued by the development of hypersonics and have been curious about how they might be employed and how they may effect balance of power and strategic/nuclear policy. This helped. However as area access and denial weapons, they seem very potent and cost effective. Would love to see more on this topic.

if only he lived long enough to get a hypersonic missile to Daenerys
I shouldn't have laughed at this, but I did anyway.
Back in the '80's multiple-warhead ICBM's were equipped with shuttles that could deliver several warheads to different target cities...they were thruster-boosted to their drop positions...not unlike the hypersonic glide vehicles their trajectories were hard to predict and their destinations not obvious until the last moment and so difficult to intercept...
You, Scott Manley and Tim Dodd all posted today. I'm so happy!

The amount of fuel required to sustain a hypervelocity cruise missile for anything but short range must be astronomical compared to subsonic cruise missiles like the Tomahawk system.
The question is whether or not it is even feasible to develop and depoly internediate to intercontinental hypervelocity cruise missiles?
Not necessarily, because scramjets are more efficient at hypersonic speeds at high altitudes as they take in oxygen from the atmosphere and combusts it with fuel. Also, other technologies like nuclear air breathing engines can increase the efficiency. Remember that most hypersonic cruise missiles are usually side mounted onto a rocket booster that takes it a few kms up (10-45km), and once the rocket booster decouples the scramjets kick in. This could keep it below radar detection, and by the time other short range detection systems find out, the chance of interception is very low because it has broken through the first few layers of defence. Send in 10-20 of these along with a few ICBMs and there is a very high chance the enemy is screwed.
thank you for this video, there are other important things going on right now which worth being discussed
I haven't watched it yet but it looks great already
Would love to see a video on how you research the topic and collect so much info never seen before !
I wonder how effective a sort of "Bird shot flak" would be at countering hyper sonic missiles. If one could pepper the sky where the missile is approaching, the missile would be forced to fly through a wall of bird shot at hypersonic speeds. Even one hit could cause serious damage. Sure, creating a big enough "wall of bird shot" could be difficult, but much less difficult than creating a hypersonic missile.
gotta be some big "bird shot" if it's to damage something that's able to withstand flying hypersonic speeds in an atmosphere...

I know its sort of silly to even suggest it but at some point we as humans need to really start thinking about pressing the pause button on weapon development. I wonder what else could be accomplished if we put this sort of creative energy into something that actually benefits humanity rather than new and exciting ways to kill each other.
Most of these extremely drastic offensive systems seem to be more of a defense from another country using their offensive systems. If we could all just work on an ultimate defense system world wide and everyone felt safe from nuke like blast it would go a long way. I'm sure the family's in Russia just want to provide for their family's and feel happy/safe, just like the US. As you said though that's all a fantasy.
Certainly. The problem is that such a thing really needs to be multilateral to work.
This actually was the state of affairs for much of the last few decades. The established nuclear powers basically adopted a policy of MAD and agreed to stop pushing the state of the art forward. Hypersonic cruise missiles were banned (I think) because they were potentially destabilizing. If think you see incoming ICBMs you have 20min to think about the situation, talk to everybody on the hot line, and so on, before you decide to kill everybody on the planet. Changing that to a 2min warning isn't something that makes everybody safer. In fact after the fall of the USSR the US actually helped Russia maintain their launch detection capabilities precisely because they didn't want them flinching at some random radar blip discovered 2min away from Moscow.
The main factor that has changed things is the threat of rogue states. It was felt that nations like China/Russia/US/etc were going to put national preservation as the main goal, and would not initiate a nuclear first strike. When you get a small nation with ICBM capability like North Korea the fear is that the national leader is not really motivated by national preservation so much as personal preservation, and so if they perceived some threat to themselves/etc they might react with a nuclear attack, thinking that they personally have nothing to lose anyway. Whether that is a real threat is obviously a matter of opinion to a degree. However, if you do consider this a threat then MAD is no longer an effective deterrence.
The US has mostly focused its ABM development in ways intended to avoid provoking Russia/China - such as deploying the system in locations where it would not be effective against Russian/Chinese weapons, and not scaling it up enough to deal with a large attack. Of course, the technology itself is still a threat to their deterrence - a US able to stop a few ICBMs is technologically a lot closer to being able to stop all of them than it used to be.
Some of the hypersonic weapon development is also political posturing to a degree (as is a lot of the North Korean activity, IMO). "Give me what I want and maybe I'll postpone developing these weapons/etc..." Maybe some would say the same of US ABM technology development.
Ultimately the issue with nuclear weapons is that even a single one can really make life miserable, so it tends to lead to a very strong reaction with rogue states.
@@RichFreeman You make an interesting point in North Korea. The knee jerk reaction is to say, "Well if the US is what is antagonizing them into developing their nuclear weapons program with sanctions, military training, bases, etc we should stop doing those things." But then how do you 'punish' human rights abuses and/or solve the cultural problem between different ideologies without establishing a status quo and maintaining it. Kicking the can down the road sort of speak.
@@RiceKillaz Not that the worlds problems are going to be solved through RUclips comments, but the discussion is interesting at least.
@Erik Gut Well said, I've never really thought about peace through fear (of death) as peace though. There is that paranoid part of your brain that is always angling to get the advantage...you know...just in case.
As always, a very professional video.
Great video. When you do the math you see why this new form/old form of a weapon system is so interesting. It is a kinetic weapon, at the speed it is traveling you could make it out of just metal. The resulting strike at Mach 8 would cause an energy release that by itself would be devastating. The positive part would be no nuclear radiation or fallout, but as you pointed out how do you tell it from the nuclear tipped one. If your first strike was hypersonic this would destabilize your opponent and follow you it up with the ICBMs. However, most sensible people realize that this is a akin to pissing in the pool. Once fallout goes into the atmosphere you too will have to deal with consequences. Would not put it past the CCP to use such a strike.

Nice informative video without the sensationalism of media reports. Good job.
I love you bald science man
Spend a few extra dollars on a mirror finish for your missiles would pretty much negate any laser based anti-missile system
I also thought of that when I was watching Star Wars
They might have trouble with that, the SR-71 was painted black rather than polished titanium because they needed the higher emission rate black provided at high supersonic speeds. I imagine the same will be true of hypersonics.
(in case anyone is confused, yes black absorbs IR at a higher rate than other colors, but the main source of heating at high speeds is air friction. So because black absorbs IR best that means it also emits IR the best and radiates away the energy from air friction faster than it accumulates it from the sun.) Now whether that will make lasers effective is really a matter of the distance from the laser because atmospheric difraction will negate even the highest power lasers at range (especially ground-based lasers).
That would only make sense for missiles which can be targeted and affected by lasers. And these are neither.
Thing about mirrors are they're only reflective in part of the spectrum (primarily visible light). Start throwing high powered masers, xasers, IR and UV lasers into the mix, and your shiny missile is still vulnerable, no matter how pure and dust-free you make its surface.
@Lockdown: A big thank you for your work! Your videos are one of the factors that keep me sane;-) Your literally "telling of the stories of human exploration and engineering" brings them to life!

Whatever happened to Hypersonic Tungsten steel Phone polls being de-orbited from launch platform's. Did you know when the SR-71 was built. Americans did not have any titanium manufacturing to form her skin. In fact we ordered the Titanium to build her from Russia!

I remember a great story about the Blackbird. A RAF pilot was cruising in his Lightning when he saw a strange craft. He knew it was friendly because of its markings. The Lightning was the fastest thing in the sky so when the Blackbird pilot saluted and then blew away the Lightning pilot was absolutely astonished. The bad thing about those ramjets were they were prone to backfire causing an uncontrollable spin.

Hey Paul,
I would love to see you do a video regarding UK testing of nuclear weapons, especially in the Nevada desert.
Great! Now we have less minutes to live from the time a missile is launched.
It's "fewer" minutes. Just because you only have minutes left to live is no reason to get sloppy with grammar...
The animations might make it seems like it's absolutely impossible to take down and it's sooooo maneuverable but it's actually not that maneuverable at hypersonic speeds turning is difficult ad slow if it turned too fast it'll be ripped apart by the aerodynamic forces also turning just a few degrees would take several seconds not that maneuverable if you ask me. Sure it will be very difficult to shoot down or intercept something that can change it's trajectory mid-flight but it's not impossible especially if it's slow like this.
Also, if it turns too much at those speeds, won't it basically stall because the air flowing over the top surface creates a vacuum?
Any slight path changes will make any interceptors miss by miles because these things are moving at 10km per sec??
@@psun256 what can I say. With ANIMATION you can easily break the laws of physics. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AntiReligionistz you should look in to the x15 programm. Hypersonic is nothing new and turning those things is harder then you think. The chance of stalling is very high too.

We finally figured out how to make the pointless cold war hot yay!
defense jobs for everyone , we're all winners now
I'll be honest.
If you are looking to create the means to nullify the deterrent capabilities of other nations so that you could possibly carry out a successful nuclear first strike then you might have to ask "are we the baddies" .
But who is the baddy if all parties have nuclear weapons and try to fond ways to bypass the deterrent capabilities of the other parties. I mean everyone is trying to be one step ahead dude.
I don't want to get hit first by a nuclear strike.
@@brucewayneisdeadpool830 The difference is one side is making sure that they retain deterrent capabilities while the other is trying to negate it so it could strike without worrying about retaliation.
Funny thing about icbm nukes: when both sides have it the side advancing defense against them is the aggressive one that's usually looking for a way to launch a first strike to force an unconditional surrender.
