Pentagon head compares US hypersonic developments with Russian and Chinese

The United States is developing hypersonic weaponsAt the same time, American developments are more innovative than Chinese and Russian. This was stated by US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.

Speaking at a hearing at the Senate Committee on Armed Forces on Wednesday, the Pentagon chief assured congressmen that the United States is developing hypersonic weapons and that these developments are superior to hypersonic weapons already created in Russia and China.



Hypersonic weapons are one of our top priorities. We carry out innovative developments, and I will tell you that they are more innovative than what you can see from China or Russia, in this I can assure you

- declared Esper.

Note that recently in the United States at a high level repeatedly raised the theme of the creation of hypersonic weapons. At the same time, senior officials of the White House administration, including the head of the Pentagon, declared the United States lagged behind in creating the latest weapons from Russia and China.

For our part, we add that according to available information, the US is currently conducting nine projects to create hypersonic weapons, and four prototypes are planned for testing this year. As previously stated by Mark Esper, the Pentagon has significantly increased the cost of developing "land, air, and sea-based hypersonic ammunition."

        Developments always surpass what has already been created. So what? We also have developments, but no one compares them with the American ones. Do - show.

        But, it is not customary for the United States to ask such questions to the Secretary of Defense when he talks about the best weapons in the world. Russian lacking analogues are generally not suited to American non-analogous counterparts! (sarcasm)

      This is the position of a person ... He couldn’t come out in front of the Congress and say something like “We screwed up big ... Time is lost ... There are guilty people, but they have more money than we want to make their names public. I propose to tighten the sphincter and hope for the best. "

And they had the potential of grandmother cars (and not only by the way they alone), and only we have an ekranoplan. It’s a pity that he was practically buried. But I think that they will still remember.

      Eh, the old man Zadornov did not live.
      His hypothesis is brilliantly confirmed - they are the most innovative, they are not like us, they are the most American among the Russians and Chinese, they, after all, fit into one short epithet.

Only one difference: HIM PAYS HUGE MONEY FOR IT)) Therefore, he says exactly what they want to hear from him. And on my own behalf, I want to add, I must honestly admit to myself that our country is technologically very inferior to am and companies. And therefore it is very pleasant and causes great pride for the country when the military-industrial complex gives such surprises to our "partners". The only thing I would like to do is not only the military-industrial complex, but also other industries

      Yes, American developments such as the X-43A and X-51A, although they did not go into the series (either projects were frozen, or closed) - their appearance and performance characteristics were announced. And we show nothing except "Dagger". Neither the "Avangard" delivered to the OBD, nor the "Zircon" undergoing testing ... So here we are with them "on equal terms" in terms of hanging "news" on our ears. We have "no analogues in the world" - they have "innovative"
