>The commander of the Air and Space Forces of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Amirali Hajizadeh, quoted by the state Iranian agency IRNA.
>"This new missile will go through all anti-missile defense systems and I don't think there will be technology capable of countering it for decades," Hajizadeh said, adding that the missile is the solution to destroying the enemy's anti-missile systems and is a "significant leap" in this area.
>Reuters notes that so far there have been no reports of Iran testing such a missile. Although Iran has developed a large domestic arms industry amid international sanctions and embargoes, Western military analysts say Iran sometimes exaggerates its weapons capabilities.

Iran exaggerating again or did Russia hand over a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal as payment form all them Iranian drones
> hypersonic ballistic missile
Oh, just like the V-2 (Aggregat 4) of 1943 and every long range ballistic missile after it.
Hypersonic missiles implies a "low-flying" trajectory and maybe engine (air-breathing engines).
Non-western militaries boasting about their "hypersonic missile" sound like kids talking about "race cars".
I'm just waiting for them to claim that lightning decals make their rockets go even faster
Don't care, western equipment is still better.
For frick sake, for the LAST FRICKING TIME
SRB'S ARE NOT HYPERSONICS BY THE COMMON MEANING OF THE WORD
Unless it's some rocket launched from a truck or something, all ballistic missiles are hypersonic.
Don't you mean supersonic?
Essentially, all missiles are hypersonic – which means they travel at least five times the speed of sound. Almost any warhead released from a rocket miles in the atmosphere will reach this speed heading to its target
No, not “essentially all” missiles are hypersonic, but any ballistic missile beyond tactical range will be
Almost any warhead will reach x5 the speed of sound. So yes. Almost all are. That isn't what is meant though.
No, sorry man, you’re wrong here. Other than the r37, AAMs tops out around Mach 4. SAMs top out around the same other than purpose built ABMs. On ballistic surface to air and AShMs top out below mach 3. Shit even guided ballistic rocket artillery like the m30/m31 rounds and 9M542 fail to hit Mach 5
*non ballistic
It’s probably only a model, like their stealth fighter.
Unless it’s atmospherically aspirated, it’s not an achievement
I'm guessing they mean a hyperglide vehicle.
So not an achievement
So why can't we frick Irans shit up anyway? Who the frick are they allied with, some moronic sandBlack folk somewhere? Kill them.
Muh balance of power autism. Basically China will be mad that we just kicked over Iran's sandcastle in the Middle East and declared the sandbox ours, so we have to play nice while they frick with us.
The barrier of entry into hypersonics must be low
My hypersonic missile penetrated Ur Mom's defense systems last night
chinese tech I presume
The only thing funnier than the US creating a “space force” is the idea that Iran copied it and somehow thinks they can actually do anything.
>Kh-47M2 Kinzhal
Do they have mig 31? It was the only fighter jet capable to carry that iscander missile
no but they have F-14s
