Da bin ich aber mal wieder gespannt, das neue #Perun Video zu #Ukraine ist da.

Spannendes Thema: #Hypersonic Weapons.

#Russia's New #Zircon #Hypersonic Superweapon Against West Is Actually Pathetic
#Putin says a new ship the #AdmiralGorshkov carrying hypersonic missiles patrolling the #Atlantic is Russia's trump card against the West, but the reality is likely different

One of the reason being the cost of developing #hypersonic technologies can vary significantly depending on the specific technologies being developed and the scale of the development efforts. For different scenarios armed forces will pick the best suited missile for the job.(3/3) #war #unitedstates #china #russia

So while the procurement of #hypersonic weapons, especially hypersonic cruise #missiles will increase we will not witness a major decrease in the procurement of supersonic missiles. Just like supersonic missiles didn't replace subsonic missiles. #airforce (2/3)

I'm seeing some news on #hypersonic weapons. I think hypersonics works for transport aircraft that can slow down to manuver to land. For weapons, slowing down increases the threat and reduce their impact. So, they want to go fast until the target, but doing so impacts their ability to manuver, use sensors, or calculate their position. This makes it very difficult to have a hypersonic weapons that does more than fly straight then slow down. I think it is a good idea, but probably overhyped.

Popular Mechanics wrote in 1928 about the visions of Fritz von Opel, head of the world's first rocket program, and the #future of #hypersonic planes and #rocket travel —both terrestrial and extraterrestrial. Almost 100 years later, #Elon #Musk is developing rockets that travel to other continents in minutes and rocket planes like #Virgin Galactic's #SpaceShipTwo is nearly ready for launch. What seemed like a dream a century ago, #history is becoming #reality...
