Why Hypersonic Missiles Are A Game Changer
Previously, we discussed how smart missiles are the smartphones of dumb war. Now we’ll discuss hypersonics, the smartest missiles. Hypersonic literally means a speed, travelling 6,000 to 12,000 KPH. Hypersonics also evade air defenses, they come in low and squirrelly. Hypersonics are like asteroids powered by supercomputers. A MIRV hypersonic can have six independently targeted re-entry vehicles. In cricket terms, this is like a fast bowler and a spin bowler who can bowl a full over in one toss. This is unstoppable. America is out for a (sitting) duck.
Today Russia, China, Iran, and Yemen have hypersonic missiles and America does not. The most advanced hypersonic used in anger is the Oreshnik from Russia. This missile can skim space, reach speeds of Mach 11, and split into six independently targeted warheads. It is made of some unknown alloys that can withstand such heat and looked like the glowing farts of Zeus when it obliterated a factory in Ukraine. It is unstoppable and, depending on what it’s armed with, devastating [see video on original article].
An Oreshnik could hit Berlin in 11 minutes and London in 20 (and God knows they deserve it). The warheads can be nukes, to add annihilation to injury. This is an ungodly weapon that should be banned and was banned until Trump…
