The Pentagon recognized the lag behind Russia and China in the development of hypersonic weapons

The Pentagon once again noted the backlog of the United States in the development of hypersonic weapons. This was announced by the head of research and engineering programs of the US Department of Defense Mark Lewis and his deputy for hypersonic systems, Michael White.

Speaking at a Pentagon briefing, Lewis and White said that Russia and China were far ahead of the United States in developing hypersonic weapons, although the United States was the leader in these developments before. Currently, the US has focused on developing an air-based hypersonic cruise missile (ARRW Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon - approx. BO). At the same time, Russia and China are developing tools designed to strip the United States of its advantages not only on land, air and sea, but also in space.

We used to be leaders in hypersonic technologies, but we decided not to switch to their use in weapons systems. The Russians and Chinese made this decision a few years ago. We cannot accept the existence of such a situation.

- said White.

According to Lewis, the Russians began working on hypersonic weapons at the same time as the Americans, but used the experience and developments of the Cold War, and China, which joined in later on, invested huge sums in the development.

The Pentagon emphasized that the main efforts will be concentrated on the development of an air-based hypersonic cruise missile, since such a missile is suitable for placement on various carriers.

Earlier it was reported that the American company Lockheed Martin successfully defended the project of the promising hypersonic aeroballistic missile ARRW (Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon), the development of which has been under the order of the U.S. Air Force since 2018. Recall that in early February, the US Air Force closed one of the programs for the development of hypersonic weapons. Air Force spokeswoman Anne Stefanek has stated that the development program for the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW) fell under the reduction. Lockheed Martin also worked on it.

The Pentagon recognized the lag behind Russia and China in the development of hypersonic weapons

In general, the Americans simply rattled this moment.
Vertigo from success amid the collapse of the Union!
It seems that all state and military secrets were stolen by technology, but apparently they did not manage to digest so much.
Not a freebie.

But after all, the USSR had developments during the Cold War, but the Americans did not have them, and the excuse about "huge Chinese funds" from the Pentagon is simply ridiculous.

Wait, the cold is kind of about cryogenic fuel and the engines on it.

Cold like about cryogenic fuel and engines on it.

Hypersound was studied.
The rocket from the S-200 experimental apparatus was dispersed.

Precisely, quickly looked, and it is, about cryogenic fuel development was called "Experience", oh, and our secretaries were inventors. )))

[KCA]

They were not engaged in one "cold", at least there were still developments of the X-90 and GELA, but there is no information on them at all, probably they have achieved some real success

It is difficult to explain to taxpayers that it is necessary to spend billions additionally on developing hypersonic weapons, when there is no adversary against whom to use it, they all reduced it, the fleet, air force, army closed many military bases and I think it’s right in general, it makes sense to provoke an arms race, here we are a tank created a good, hypersonic weapon, now they’ll develop their own, the problem is different, how much they can put into service and how much we will suffer in return from this economy

[Killemall]

100500th statement of backlog. not tired? this music will be eternal. Do not forget to change the batteries!

[Zhelezyakin]

This music is quite suitable for knocking out financing ...

[Killemall]

I agree. there is where to turn around.

At least in something ... I would like of course in the economy, but apparently not in our lifetime ...

It’s even scary to imagine what would fly now and be naughty if the Soviet Union stayed to live .. And there wouldn’t be 30 years of catastrophic capitalist rule for the country ..

[primala]

Remind (who knows) there was a dock / film on Russia 1, about our "developments" in the union.
Very interesting information. In our favor. Who stole ... could not understand the "essence"))
Perhaps today the "result". YOU military know better. Yours faithfully A.

[SovAr238A]

Uryakalka do not understand that all the "backlog" is needed only to knock out additional funding.

That's all.

Then not a word about the lag.

Then again the money ran out - and again the cries of "lagging behind."
They gave money again - silence again.

[lucul]

That's all.

So you personally shouted that these were cartoons ...
And then they changed their shoes ...

They do not need brains - they live only with caps and headlines with "Strong Power".
The rest, who are with their heads, believe only in facts.

[McDonnell Douglas]

Last week, they recognized already ...
Or is it another Pentagon department admitted.

[bessmertniy]

Repetition is the mother of learning. It doesn’t matter how many times it is repeated, but it is important that it settles in the head.

[rotmistr60]

although previously the United States was the leader in these developments

Well, we already heard that: Russia has stolen development from the United States and now is putting hypersonic weapons into service, and we continue to develop. They were just too starry, referring to our country as in the 90s and considering themselves above others.

[askort154]

The Pentagon once again noted the US lag in the development of hypersonic weapons.

“We have super-fast rockets, and there are many of them. They are 4, 5, 6 and even 7 times faster than conventional rockets, and we have a lot of them.
(From a speech by Trump to the National Association of US Governors).
And which of you to believe?

Believe in God (believers), for everything else there is evidence.

This is understandable. I just gave a vivid example of Trump's balabalism.
When I read this "opus-hype" of his, I almost choked. What noodles he hangs up to his governors! This is what a president, a former business showman, means.

"... the development of an air-launched hypersonic cruise missile (ARRW Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon" ////
----
ARRW is not a cruise missile. The Pentagon refused to develop a hypersonic cruise missile.
AARW - ballistic missile air launch with a detachable planning warhead. It’s like a mixture of Dagger and Vanguard. Starting in space, like a dagger. A glider plans like Vanguard.

Author! You would decide what your ARRW is - an aeroballistic or cruise missile. And actually a reduction Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon - This is not a designation of a rocket, as such, but a designation of a complex. And it translates as Airborne Rapid Response Weapons. And the designation of the rocket itself is AGM-183A

The miscalculation caused by the euphoria of the collapse of the Union among them is not only in this area ...
And work is being done with us, and with them, and among the Chinese with varying success. Especially when it comes to cruise missiles with hypersonic ramjets ...

They also had developments. By the way, what is now issued as something new and "unparalleled" (aeroballistic missiles) - this problem was dealt with in the late 50s. And they tested an air-to-surface ballistic missile from their strategist EMNIP in 1959. However, in those years, they failed to achieve the required accuracy and switched to the armament of their strategists with cruise missiles. "Hound Dog" at the same range as a ballistic missile had greater accuracy, albeit a slightly lower speed (supersonic)

Quote: KCA

The model (I emphasize) the model of the GELA apparatus was dragged around the MAKS for several years. When asked what parameters were achieved, the "guide" said that there are only theoretical parameters (there were no flight parameters). X-90 is a fake of the 90s. Designation "X" given to weapons put into service. A X-90 never stood in service ...

[Chingachguk]

Well, then automatically means the uselessness of their missile defense around Russia? Then what kind of protection do these woodpeckers pay for?
