Russia is the world leader in rocket tech. Did you read the article at all? US is still budgeting for hypersonic research while Russia has already started fielding hypersonic missiles in combat.
Just 1 $200,000 missile will be enough to sink an aircraft carrier worth billions of dollars. Russia knows the future of warfare isn't in large aircraft carriers like the US uses to project power and that's why the Russians focus on missiles

You are still a learner if you actually believe that the USA is still budgeting for Hypersonic missiles. Indeed you are a learner. USA that have mastered the art of cloak and dagger

They are all equally guilty.......... But rather than fight a stronger bully ....... I would retreat and keep retreating......

Real estate developers will have a field day of profits in Ukraine.

Russians will be more Successful, Prosperous Economically & it Army will be more sophisticated & it will be Darling of most Africans, Asians & the West will be envious & will fight to be associated with Russia.

US will be brought to it kneels in the near future.

The West economy & it allies will crumble that they will depend more on Russia for Energy, Oil, Weat & Weapons through the back doors because of shame & ridicule.

Africans will still be micked & backwards by it corrupt & evil rulers. The West & others will take advantage & recolonized Africa.

There are basically 3 stages to an ICBM velocity. It is vulnerable from stage 1 to 2 which is when it basically shoots off outside the Earth's atmosphere before now locking on to it's target for stage 3.

Between stage 1 and 2 it can be shot down and the below demonstrates that.

The American Ground-Based Midcourse Defense System (GMD), formerly known as National Missile Defense (NMD), was first tested in 1997 and had its first successful intercept test in 1999. Instead of using an explosive charge, it launches a hit-to-kill kinetic projectile to intercept an ICBM.

The current GMD system is intended to shield the United States mainland against a limited nuclear attack by a rogue state such as North Korea. GMD does not have the ability to protect against an all-out nuclear attack from Russia, as there are 44 ground-based interceptors deployed in 2019 against any crossing projectiles headed toward the homeland.

(This interceptor count does not include the THAAD, or Aegis, or Patriot defenses against directly incoming projectiles.)
The Aegis ballistic missile defense-equipped SM-3 Block II-A missile demonstrated it can shoot down an ICBM target on 16 Nov 2020.

In November 2020, the US launched a surrogate ICBM from Kwajalein Atoll toward Hawaii in the general direction of the continental US, which triggered a satellite warning to a Colorado Air Force base. In response, USS John Finn launched a missile which destroyed the surrogate ICBM, while still outside the atmosphere.

There is a reason why USA tries to always be close to the borders of the countries they view as threats and that is to make for an easy ICBM interception while it is still outside the atmosphere. They have the tools and they are very effective

Oga, just google hypersonic missiles vs ICBM.

Another ignoramus wandering the virtual space with a bag full of lies and falsehood! The US DEFENSE spending annually is more than that of Russia, China and NATO combined! The humongous allocation is for what? Frivolities and avenue for embezzlement by greedy generals? Like you have in your homeland Nigeria! You blindly excoriate western journalism as either junk or propaganda but readily rely on Sputnik or Russia Today(RT) for credible news? The double standard is not half as nauseating as the objective fact that the Russian society is lacking of strengthened and independent institutions that guarantee the fundamentals of ideal journalism like the freedom and independence of the press, freedom and access to public information, enforcement of rights like freedom of speech, which are all ideals readily obvious and present in Western democracies! I wonder how countries like China and Russia where the press or media is an appendage of the government or an extension of government architecture primarily functioning as a conduit of propaganda has become the bellwether of True Journalism!

The innovation of the US military is unrivaled and unequalled around the world and even superpowers like China still have to rely on intellectual espionage or IP theft of American Technology as a template for their own innovation! Why does Russia and China engage as state actors in acts of cyber warfare constantly against America if they are self sufficient with their technological prowess! Why constantly attempt to steal what you already own? Hypersonic weapons you claim America is still researching when unmanned drones are already being fitted with latest AI technology! Lol, Raytheon, Lockheed Martins and the likes are not just leaders in Military technology on paper! Read more and enlighten your ignorance, learn objectivity and an accommodation of divergent views avoid burying yourself in a debris of falsehood

America is so supreme that they will never show you or hear them mention their warfare techs or weapons the way Russia and China have been bragging Before now I though Russian Soldiers are super human, only to see Soldiers crying and calling Mama....even begging for bread and onions. I beg to differ....America is the light of the world.

Pls do your research b4 you talk.
Don't let the USA fool you
They have loads of hypersonic missiles.
What Russia has is childs play to the usa
The Americans or uk will never reveal their
Military strength to you
Americans are hypocrites
They tend to pretend to be saints but they are the real evil in this war.
Most of the most of military technologies you see in Russia and china are outdated usa technologies sold out to make money
America make money on any war going on in the world

it travels faster than the speed of sound meaning it will be nearly invisible to the eye and the radar, hence it will be impossible to be intercepted

Funny enough that missile would take 30mins to get to USA from Russia if shot. More than enough time to be intercepted over the sea and Russia knows this


Who told you it will be invisible to the eyes?

Sometimes It's better to keep silence than making mess of yourself.
You think to get close to Aircraft carrier is An easy task? Do you know what carrier strike group are and what they do? Or you think Aircraft carrier move alone?

Nonsense information
Somthing they are deploying already
Go research
They are not competing with China or Russia
They are on the advanced of what Russia has

They're using the Instagram hero to catch fun while he keeps begging like Alamajiri man. The Super powers had been looking for an avenue to test their factory fitted missiles and new toys but Ukraine was unlucky to fall into the trap of Russia. Russia will roast them and nothing will still happen. ICC had been flawed the other day.. I pity innocent civilians and still maintain that Ukrainians should kill Zelenskyy and have Peace.

Oga, just google hypersonic missiles vs ICBM.


Do you understand military hardware technology at all? The advantage of an hypersonic missile is stealth and speed! It is almost impossible to intercept and less cost effective in comparison to ICBMs however can you compare the payload of munitions that an ICBM armed with a nuclear capacity can carry? There is no basis of comparison as they are weapons that serve very different purposes, one the weight class is so parallel the point of comparison becomes useless, the technology is so different I wonder the reason for your comparison! American Defense projects are mostly CLASSIFIED for a reason! Did you know the USA was developing the A-Bomb in WW2 until after deployment? STOP COMPARING A WORKING DEMOCRACY WHERE BUREAUCRACY AND CHECKS AND BALANCES does not allow for sensationalism and chest beating! Putin is a rabble rouser and American Democracy is PRESIDENTIAL, not just in name but also in functioning!
