The U.S. is currently behind China and Russia in the development and deployment of hypersonic weapons and will deliver strike and layer-hypersonic defense capability in the early- to mid-2020s, a top Pentagon official has said.
“For more than a decade, these great-power competitors (China and Russia) have been rapidly developing highly capable systems that challenge our domain dominance on the tactical battlefield,” the principal director for hypersonics in the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering said in a Pentagon release.

China and Russia have fielded high-end, integrated air-missile defense systems to challenge U.S. aircraft out hundreds of miles. Their anti-satellite systems aim to degrade our capabilities in space and on land, and their attack cruise, ballistic and hypersonic missiles put our troops, ports and airfields at risk, he said. These systems, White noted, present a significant challenge to traditional U.S. weapon systems.
He said that the adversaries have increasingly focused on systems that dramatically compress the timelines and the timescale of a tactical battlefield. These systems — including ballistic missiles, ballistic missiles with maneuvering reentry vehicles, and vehicles that are increasingly hypersonic in nature — give adversaries the ability to hold our forces at risk from hundreds, even thousands, of miles away, with flight times that are measured in minutes.
Conversely, the United States’ portfolio of traditional, tactical strike weapons includes sea-launched subsonic cruise missiles, air-launched subsonic cruise missiles, and platforms to deliver those air-launched subsonic cruise missiles that are either subsonic or, at best, low supersonic, he said.
“These systems will take on the order of 10 times longer to fly long-range strike missions when compared to the adversary’s high-speed systems,” White said. “It presents a battlefield asymmetry and timescale that we simply cannot allow to stand.”
To address these challenges, DOD developed the Hypersonics Modernization Strategy that accelerates the development and delivery of transformational warfighting capabilities based on hypersonic systems, he said.
This strategy consists of long-range responsive strike against time-critical, high-value targets where we are fielding a family of air-, land- and sea-launch, conventionally armed hypersonic strike weapons,” White said. “These weapons will be designed for defeat of maritime coastal and inland targets of critical importance on a timescale of relevance for the tactical battlefield. To defend against [an] adversary[‘s] hypersonic weapons, we are delivering a comprehensive layer-defeat strategy that applies kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities to deny, degrade and defeat those weapons at every possible point in their kill chain. Technologies will also be developed to mature reusable hypersonic systems for future application to time-critical penetrating [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] and strike missions.”
DOD’s strategy is being put in place in a coordinated set of programs across the military services and agencies. The Office of the Secretary of Defense, Army, Navy, Air Force, Missile Defense Agency, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Space Development Agency and the Strategic Capabilities Office are working to develop capabilities throughout the multiple phases of this strategy, he said.
Thre is no need for waes in this day and age
Thats why we have politicians to sort out problms
Both world wars acheived nothing
what benefits were there ?
none for us but for the international finacaers great profits, the jews from east london after w w 2 all moved out to beter areas Ilford Barkingside Newbury park after the war all the houses that came up for sale were bought by jews in these good areas
The Yanks do very much deserve to be defeated I’m afraid.
USA ALREADY IS IN COMMUNIST HANDS
THANKS TO THE JEWS AND THE WELLFED
SLEEPY AMERICANS !
Why care anymore? Excess of stupidity will never end. There is no bottom for the military, their suppliers, bankers and the investors that push this to the very end. Genetic engineering is so far beyond what most people know it is tragic. Nano bots, Nano wiring, all specialized for different parts of the body which the Keys of Life are now Hacked (Moderna’s CEO statement) and was decades ago. Nano computing, known as liquid computing has man machine interface and the bodies of humanity have it inside of them and don’t even know it through geoengineering synthetic life of which the militaries are proud to say, assembly line, built to order organisms.
The Jet, Ship and any form of vessel are obsolete as geospatial EM, ionized “Smart Dust” and Ionospheric Alfven Resonators make the old technology look like the horse and buggy era. The old technology will not no where it is relative to its functions and duties just like 9/11, the Jets when let go as Norman Minneta asked of Dick Cheney, regarding the stand down orders, went the wrong direction.
The heavy metal nano particles inside which also destroy the mind and immune system, will resonate when hit by this “non-lethal” technology and bring small groups to very large marches to their knees is as much pain and for as long as the operators want.
Idiocy has no limits and of course, you can’t fix stupid as we know stupid by our fruits. It’s end product, even generations from now, show the human species incapable of compassion that are the vast majority. Bias of Priene: all men are wicked and most are evil, is a truth and the time for the majority of self described intellectuals and their psychopath owners which their sycophants believe and follow is well underway as is the 6th extinction while methane is now the gas that is outstripping the increase in CO2 and together, along with the use of the new super weapon of global extinction is busy wiping out the Ozone layer, punching holes all the way up and through the ionosphere with millions of sq. mi. lost of the protective layer. It is destroying every known cycle of life that was on this planet just 100 years ago, when humanity was genocidal in killing the innocent indigenous and the rest of the web of life for unsustainable practices of absolute greed of money over the living planet itself.
God will NOT help us as we are getting exactly what we deserve. There is the “Tree of Life and the Tree of Death (not knowledge)” as Boaz and Joachim are and man chose to hoard all for itself and nothing for any other creature, against the first and most significant of all “commandments” as to love your neighbor includes all life on earth and its beauty, which is loving the creator with all your heart, mind and soul as the word of the Creator is Creation and we, loving death of false knowledge are on the precipice of killing all of it.
The god of the heathen are gold and silver i.e. money/wealth/power/control. We are known by our fruit which shows that faith is the scape goat and the faith of dogmatic religions is dead.
Now in my 75th year, I recall hearing about, learning of, and taking interest in the “nuclear arms race” — ostensibly a race to run due in part to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who may or may not have been executed as spies in that regard. I note here doubt in some well informed corners that nuclear bombs do not even exist, though I suppose such “secrets” — that nuclear bombs do not exist — might. If you find yourself intrigued, then I recommend your calling up Miles Mathis, for he’ll have an opinion for sure. I attended a college with Rob Meeropol, a son Julius and Ethel, though I learned of that connection many years later. I understand his sister (?) keeps the memory of their parents alive.
Anyway, after practicing “ducking and covering” in anticipation of a nuclear war, I understood that the US still maintained a shrinking lead in the nuclear arms race. I rooted for good ol’ USA, of course. Did the US win? That I do not know.
ANYWHOOOOOOOOO — I suggest to you that this “hypersonic weapons race” is more of the same, updated as another patina of fear for the “next generation”, even more programmed and addled than we were, thus more susceptible, I guess, to taking a side or betting on a horse in this particular race.
As I have said before, many times, these weapons are a waste of money (hard earned people’s money)
They will never be used in anger. They are not needed in an all out war (needless to say unnecessary war – see “feeding the war machine” by Richard H. Kohn). Nukes are also not needed and they are also toxic to the ones who might deploy them as well.
The military of the three superpowers of this planet have a very effective way of destroying each other without firing a bullet on the ground, as the saying goes. It is quite cheap and it does not involve dramatic explosions. It is called EMP orf Space Nuclear EMP *super EMP). See this article in Forbes of July last year (in the middle of these lockdowns) written by James Conga (a military / Energy physicist)

Criminals can start a cult–the Kray Twins were one (they were the Craze as well as the Krays), and Judaism is the biggest one, or the vehicle for it, and it began a Cold War against Gentiles, which involves fake Cold Wars between goyim, and sometimes a more real conflict, but when Russia and China are politically on the same side you know we cannot make much progress on the non-criminal side of the equation.
If the US is behind, its not by very much. Russia beats its weapons drums to avert war, not to make war, its the same in China.
One must be very cautious with military propagand. This is aimed at the domestic home audience and foreign powers, if they want to believe it.
Imho, Russia and China have many more options than they did a few years ago, but don’t believe this crap that someone has a significant advantage, they don’t.
Things being the way they are, anyone working on hypersonic missiles and defense systems against hypersonic missiles for the U.S. “government” at places like Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin, is the worst kind of anti-American traitor.
Hopefully the effort will fail miserably and the U.S. “government” will continue to fall behind Russia and China and never catch up. The U.S. is run by satanic jewish-supremacist madmen and the last thing the world needs is more weapons for a country ruled by such creatures.
“Imho, Russia and China have many more options than they did a few years ago, but don’t believe this crap that someone has a significant advantage, they don’t.”
Wrong; Russia and China do have a significant advantage: they’ve already deployed unstoppable missiles, thus making the U.S. navy obsolete. They probably also have the ability to destroy U.S. military satellites and jam U.S. radar and communication systems.
By the time the U.S. “government” can deploy any hypersonic missiles – if ever – Russia and China will be deploying 2nd and 3rd generation hypersonic missiles and defense systems. The satanic U.S. “government” is lagging well behind Russia and China in many ways and will NEVER catch up.
Regardless of weapons America has proved itself very poor at troops-on-the-ground fighting so they are not very good at winning wars. They are very good at killing civilians but so were the Mongols, though the Mongols were fierce soldiers too. The Chinese were wary of them, but not so much the US.
Harold Smith: In around 1976, a senior US naval officer was giving evidence to a US regime committee. He was asked: ‘In a real war, how long would our carriers last’? The officer said ’48hrs.’
Russis will not fight the US navy, even in an all out war. This is because there are two scenarios. A hot war starts in Eastern Europe and escalates to an all out nuclear war, or, they just get it on from the get-go with nukes. Similar with China, but more room for a regular war before the nukes start.
I can’t understand why people see things in terms of WW2?
I can’t cover all the new combat elements. Russia has massive reserves of tanks and other battlefield hardware, they have this, because they have a huge border with many potential aggressors.
BTW, I think it is very poor form to quote someone and not use their name. We’re supposed to be having a civilised debate, not sniping at other cemmentors heals.
