It's kinda funny that Russia throwing their hypersonics at pointless soft targets is giving the west a good idea of how to better defend against them. If anything hurts their chance at changing the meta it'll be Putin's vendetta against apartment buildings and power substations.
Hypersonic is a meme. It's just a classification based on speed.
Missiles are always getting faster as tech gets better, eventually most missiles will be hypersonic.
The US power is utterly fucking crumbling because they have a complete void in Hypersonic capability

This has been claimed in naval terms since the Cold War because ZOMG Russian Superfast Anti Ship Missiles the US doesn't go tit for tat in a development race on every pointless dead end
Throwing on 'supermaneuvering' makes it even more hilarious to anyone who has looked even slightly at the meaning of words - A hypersonic Glide vehicle, meaning that it's reliant on aerodynamics for maintaining its profile
Now you want to add supermaneuverability, a term meaning that it is able to perform feats that rely on intentional failures of aerodynamics to perform nose pointing - the upshot is increasing drag by orders of magnitude....in A GLIDE vehicle....This is where people start the point an laugh meme
The US developed hypersonic missiles for ABM final stage intercept in the goddamn 70's with the Sprint hitting Mach 10 - Just like the Russian's with the compartmentalized T-14 remote turret, this is the rest of the word forgetting the US did this quietly decades ago and our enemies are just starting to catch up and claiming it's a quantum leap forward

Anon, we already knew it wasn't a true hypersonic missile in the sense of how the US uses the term. What is going to be retcon'd, is how vatniks will claim they never said it was hypersonic and we are lying when we claim they did. And of course they will still call it a hypersonic missile in the next thread or a few posts later.
It's an iskander on a MiG-31, two old platforms. There's nothing new. Most ballistic missiles are hypersonic during their reentry phase, so no extra work is needed if you just reuse one and use a different vector.
The only thing that went as usual is Russian propaganda.

We're seeing the same now with S-300/400, the Kinzhal meme and their underwater wunderwaffe is likely just a torpedo diagram they resized on GIMP.
By the way, if the counter weapon ends up being the real superweapon, the logic can also apply to THAAD.

You know you have some real problems when you can't match up in performance or capabilities with the now long discarded F-111 or F-15Es of more recent times.
The US is working on real ones though, not retard shit like Russia.
And as of now there is not much use for them since they cannot be mass produced with current technology and a re prohibitively expensive. >cheaper than a carrier >let that sink in
Only if you're able to hit the carrier.
>One software bug could have directed the Patriot to attempt to intercept an incoming missile at a point below ground. In one case, this bug may have caused a Patriot to turn back and dive into the ground.
Nice to see that bug fixed by blowing it up and showering everyone below with some globohomo love.
Hypersonics are cope in the purest sense of the term. The Chinese and Russians know they can't compete with the US conventionally, so they talk up their super weapon that can potentially negate the massive advantages the US has.
The concept is finicky. Speed alone doesn't mean much, the enemy will just predict your arrival and set up an "ambush". You want speed+maneuverability or Speed+stealthECM or Speed+durability.
it was being hyped by the Russians as an uncounterable wunderwaffe
turns out, it is counterable >how
it does travel really fast, but in a straight line
if you're able to calculate the trajectory in time, interception is actually surprisingly easy. Simple trigonometry.
I remember watching Missile defense as a little kid growing up in Kurdistan. Never seemed like the missile were “smart” or fast enough to target something traveling in a straight line. Insane.
it was being hyped by the Russians as an uncounterable wunderwaffe
turns out, it is counterable >how
it does travel really fast, but in a straight line
if you're able to calculate the trajectory in time, interception is actually surprisingly easy. Simple trigonometry.
It's not a cruise missile, it's an air-launched ballistic missile that's advertised as the more troublesome gliders and cruise missiles currently in development but it isn't one. Basically it's a plane-launched design similar to iskander but with more range. Patriot has been updated many times to better handle ballistic missiles after its spotty performance in the early 90s when this capability was basically an afterthought added to an otherwise an anti-aircraft system. With PAC-3 interceptor it's capable of shooting down most shorter range ballistic missile threats very effectively.
If you didn't know most ballistic missiles travel at hypersonic speeds during their peak boost phase and reentry, so the speed alone isn't inurmountable. A glider or a cruise missile pose different challenges than ballistic missiles and it's a very uncertain topic how much threat they pose and what they can or cannot do.
What makes you think republicans ever liked Russia? Aside from MUHRUSSIA DOSSIER which turned out to be a fucking complete and total lie what evidence do you have?
Laughing at puccia and their incompetence can go hand in hand with not wanting to give the man in heels in Kiev more money. It's not mutually exclusive.
Nothing. The actual threat has always been identified as hypersonics possessing high maneuverability, giving ballistic missile defenses very little time to react and intercept properly. Russia is not capable of this sort of design or killchain, China is with their hypersonic glide vehicles, and the DoD recognizes this.
Hypersonics like Kinzhals are not what you should be afraid of; what you should be concerned about are things like china's DF-ZF.
If there's any military technology the US isn't leading it's basically a safe assumption that it's a dead end technology with no real use bc the reason they spend so fucking much on the army is to never be behind anywhere that matters
>Maginot-line >russian advance mostly halted by TDF fragging unescorted fuel trucks behind the "front lines" and russias highly mechanized army running out of fuel
Nothing went wrong woth hypersonics. The problem is that hypersonic weapons are beyond top secret because of the mass reduction technology used in them. There is a reason that cesium jumped in price in the early 90s when the chinese set off their largest nuclear explosives.
literally, nothing, if hypersonics aren't meta by mid-century then this question will be valid.
It's kinda funny that Russia throwing their hypersonics at pointless soft targets is giving the west a good idea of how to better defend against them. If anything hurts their chance at changing the meta it'll be Putin's vendetta against apartment buildings and power substations.

Can someone explain what’s special about Kinzhal? It’s just a cruise missile that reaches Mach 5, right?
If so, how was patriot able to shoot it down?
>how can pushing a shopping cart into the road hit a lambo going 200mph?
Kek, this post truly epitomises the patriot copers argument.
it was being hyped by the Russians as an uncounterable wunderwaffe
turns out, it is counterable
>how
it does travel really fast, but in a straight line
if you're able to calculate the trajectory in time, interception is actually surprisingly easy. Simple trigonometry.
I remember watching Missile defense as a little kid growing up in Kurdistan. Never seemed like the missile were “smart” or fast enough to target something traveling in a straight line. Insane.
Traveling in a straight line *that fast
It's not a cruise missile, it's an air-launched ballistic missile that's advertised as the more troublesome gliders and cruise missiles currently in development but it isn't one. Basically it's a plane-launched design similar to iskander but with more range. Patriot has been updated many times to better handle ballistic missiles after its spotty performance in the early 90s when this capability was basically an afterthought added to an otherwise an anti-aircraft system. With PAC-3 interceptor it's capable of shooting down most shorter range ballistic missile threats very effectively.
If you didn't know most ballistic missiles travel at hypersonic speeds during their peak boost phase and reentry, so the speed alone isn't inurmountable. A glider or a cruise missile pose different challenges than ballistic missiles and it's a very uncertain topic how much threat they pose and what they can or cannot do.
Remember when republicans hated Russia and loved their country? What happened to those day. Lol
>Muh democrats!!!!!!!
Ok
I guess you people love cryptos now.
What makes you think republicans ever liked Russia? Aside from MUHRUSSIA DOSSIER which turned out to be a fucking complete and total lie what evidence do you have?
Laughing at puccia and their incompetence can go hand in hand with not wanting to give the man in heels in Kiev more money. It's not mutually exclusive.
Was there a maginot-line under Kyiv? I must have missed it, being distracted by russian chernobyl fortifications.
Nothing. The actual threat has always been identified as hypersonics possessing high maneuverability, giving ballistic missile defenses very little time to react and intercept properly. Russia is not capable of this sort of design or killchain, China is with their hypersonic glide vehicles, and the DoD recognizes this.
Hypersonics like Kinzhals are not what you should be afraid of; what you should be concerned about are things like china's DF-ZF.
If there's any military technology the US isn't leading it's basically a safe assumption that it's a dead end technology with no real use bc the reason they spend so fucking much on the army is to never be behind anywhere that matters

>russian advance mostly halted by TDF fragging unescorted fuel trucks behind the "front lines" and russias highly mechanized army running out of fuel
Predictable trajectory and early warning by detecting a fucking MIG taking off.
Fun fact, V-2 rocket is very nearly a "hypersonic missile" by the arbitrary speed designation of mach 5 (it went mach 4.7)
Hypersonic cruise missiles are an overhyped meme.
damn is poland asleep?
this thread should be being gang-rayped right now
Bueller?
HELLO?? BUELLER?
ANYBODY THERE???
>what went wrong
ah yes i too believe that a cylindrical shaped missile that looks like nothing of kh 47 was shot down
>aaaa save me khinzhal!
PATRIOTS in control.
Nothing went wrong woth hypersonics. The problem is that hypersonic weapons are beyond top secret because of the mass reduction technology used in them. There is a reason that cesium jumped in price in the early 90s when the chinese set off their largest nuclear explosives.
What the hell does caesium have to do with hypersonics outside of literal gnomish space laser tier tech?
If you bring up the schottky effect, don’t.
