A Russian Zircon hypersonic cruise missile, which can travel at nine times the speed of sound
Howard Mustoe – The Telegraph July 24, 2022
Arms companies are scrambling to come up with a defence against Russian and Chinese hypersonic missiles amid fears they could offer a decisive advantage to hostile powers.
Andy Thomis, head of the defence company Cohort, said that his business is working on a project to defeat the weapons, which can travel five times faster than the speed of sound and are currently extremely difficult to shoot down.
Mr Thomis, whose company is based in Reading and supplies kit for Royal Navy submarines, said: “Being able to develop convincing countermeasures against them is a really important step forward.
“It’s a real challenge. There’s no doubt about that.”
Typical rockets fly at about Mach 3, while hypersonics travel at Mach 5 or faster.
As well as being incredibly fast, they have an unpredictable flight path that makes them hard to track.

China reportedly fired a hypersonic projectile around the globe in a test last year, while in May a Russian warship test launched a Zircon cruise missile that can travel at nine times the speed of sound.
The weapons typically fall into two categories – a powered variant which uses a particularly fast type of jet engine called a scramjet, or a projectile launched from high in the sky that bounces off the atmosphere to reach its target.
Either way, to develop a good defence against these weapons, a system must monitor a much larger area to detect and intercept them.
Wes Kremer, president of US arms maker Raytheon Missiles & Defense, said that the focus is likely to be monitoring missiles from space using large constellations of satellites.
The only concession the missiles offer is that they are comparatively delicate because of the huge amounts of heat they must manage.
Mr Kremer said: “It doesn’t take much damage to that heat dissipation system to quickly have a burn through and destroy it.
Defence against hypersonic missiles “is in its infancy,” he added, with only one project in the US working on a remedy.
China’s rapid military expansion is particularly driving demand, Mr Thomis said.
Last year China spent $293bn on defence, helping Cohort to win orders for anti submarine warfare equipment from the Philippines and other nations in the region.
jews did this in germany after w w 1
they ended up stealing half the country
until along came Mr Hitler who took it all back for the german people
again after ww 2
and the jews are now at it again

It’s always “defence” with these lunatics isn’t it? He makes things to kill people. He’s the exact same as the person who supplies guns to murderers.
In my opinion, all of the crap the west is going through (war, stealing money, poofs, etc) is the jews burning the place before they leave. I think they intend to set up shop in asia, and they don’t want you to be able to compete with them when they do, so they’re trashig your country as much as possible to prevent you doing so for as long as possible. It’s the only thing that makes any real sense (I don’t believe this depopulation idea, simply because there is no depopulation).
All this guy is doing is hustling for debt. By the time he’s figured out Mach 5, he can then move onto Sarmat, which is mach 19, and when he’s done that, the Russians will be using mach 30. Oh, did I forget, the world ends before then. lol
Why not ask NASA for their hypersonic technology they have had since the sixties in order to break free of the Earths’ gravitational pull. NASA’s rockets routinely hit 25000 mph escape velocity.
Or so they would have us believe………..
To quote a great orator “what a load of old bollox” them and their bullshit space program
The Arms industry is the biggest business there is, shame on the criminal engineers and scientists who work on these projects. If these people had consciences and chose to use their skills in civilian sectors then this business would go down the pan and peace could be achieved. Of course this is just a pipe dream as consciences are salved by a high salary.
Sam is right
and there is nothing you can do about it
we have turned your men folk into homosexual perverts even got one in the presidency
and several s prime ministers in the UK
all over the world we have poofters in power
Russia will be attacked Rothschild has decreed it
there will be a great killing off of the christains
Putins time window is closing !
he already should have used nukes
on virginia+ cheyenne mountain .
and shoot down their space laser satelite .
MP LIZ TRUSS IS A RACIST WHORE FOR ZIONISM
this article shows that Liz truss supports israel and its terrorism i palestine
you cannot get more racist that this
this will take us to war with russia
and all for the jews, this is a major hate crime
by an evil bitch who hates her own country and people

Blablablabla…..hypersonic muscles are bullshit lies propergated by the mainstream media.
Underestimating demons is a really really bad idea.
Because everyone knows there’s nothing up their sleeves.
LOL until you yourself see one or two or three. In broad daylight.
> and shoot down their space laser satelite
Yeah, then sit back and wait for the sun to explode (unless you turn into a zombie from 5g first).
The US and England are BOTH broke dick countries. They DON’T have the capital to afford the hundreds of BILLIONS, possibly TRILLIONS that the embezzlers in the MIC would require to develop counter weapons. That’s the way it goes when you have an appetite for caviar, but a budget for hamburger.
Carl Jones–it’s called depression, as I told you before. You would need to stop hating your own people
