Trump Rocket: From Super to Duper. Funny in form, serious in content

US President Donald Trump once again made a loud statement. This time, he announced the existence of super-duper-missile - literally "super-super-super-missiles." D. Trump called its main characteristics and compared with foreign developments. However, it is not entirely clear what exactly he was talking about and what specific product became an occasion for pride.

Super Declaration


On May 15, the ceremony of presenting the flag of the Space Forces was held in the United States. During this event, D. Trump made a speech on various aspects of national security, a new type of troops, promising weapons, etc. Of all the theses of the president, the greatest public attention was drawn to one related to the hypersonic weapons development program.



According to D. Trump, now the United States is creating incredible weapons. He designated one of such models as “super-super-racket” - it is capable of flying 17 times faster than products in service. The president also pointed out that such developments in Russia and China are only five to six times faster than current missiles. At the same time, D. Trump did not specify what kind of sample in question.

The president’s statement provoked a corresponding reaction. At the same time, admiration and insults, surprise and irony were expressed in different circles. For example, the head of the Russian "Roskosmos" Dmitry Rogozin in a joking manner "scared" of an American rocket and offered to surrender.

Super riddle


It is easy to notice that the wave of humor was associated only with the wording used by D. Trump. If he used other expressions, the reaction could be different. However, in the current situation, not form, but content is important. The US President once again raised the topic of American hypersonic weapons, which are a serious cause for concern for third countries.

It is known that there are several research programs and development projects that have already yielded certain results. In the medium and long term, all this will allow the United States to put into service a fundamentally new strike systems with special combat capabilities.

We will consider well-known projects and determine which one the American president could talk about. The Pentagon and industrial enterprises maintain the necessary level of secrecy, but regularly report on their work. Thanks to this, approximate development paths and current results of the hypersonic program are known.

Superversions


First of all, it is necessary to outline the circle of searches. According to D. Trump, a super-super missile flies 17 times faster than existing and in service. Given the characteristics of modern US Army missiles, this suggests a range of speeds from 15M to 20M or more. The range is very wide, but not all modern developments fall into it.

Apparently, searching for super-duper-missile will not take much time. The required characteristics were already shown by one of the earliest experimental samples. It was a prototype HTV-2 product created as part of the DARPA agency's FALCON program. The program itself was launched in 2003 and in the early stages was purely scientific in nature. By the beginning of the tenth years, it was brought to the stage of construction and testing of experimental equipment.

The first launch of the Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2) pilot planning hypersonic device took place on April 22, 2010 and ended in an accident. On August 11, 2011, the second start took place. The aircraft continued to fly over the Pacific Ocean for 9 minutes out of 30 planned, after which again a crash occurred. Before the fall, the product managed to develop a speed of about 20M. Despite the accident, the experiment was considered successful, and based on the developments on the FALCON topic, new projects were launched.

Already in November 2011, the first launch of the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW) hypersonic warhead was launched, which was created as part of the “practical” program Prompt Global Strike. Experienced aircraft in 30 minutes. I covered 3700 km, which corresponds to a speed of more than 6,5M. In the future, managed to reach a speed of 8M. This allows us to attribute AHW to hypersonic systems, but not to the “superfood” category proposed by D. Trump.

Currently, work is underway on the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) program, a key component of which is the Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) combat unit. Its result should be the emergence of several missile systems for different arms with a unified combat unit C-HGB. Full-fledged LRHW systems are not yet ready, but tests of combat equipment are already underway.

On October 30, 2017, the first launch of the C-HGB took place over the Pacific Ocean, and on March 19, 2020, the second was launched. The tests are successful. It is alleged that products of a new type develop a speed of more than 5M. The upper limit of flight speeds is not called. However, the available data do not suggest that D. Trump had in mind the LRHW / C-HGB. This complex can really be a good one. weaponsbut not enough to call it super-duper.

Last year, the development of the promising aeroballistic missile AGM-183A ARRW (Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon) for strategic aviation. It is believed that its combat equipment will be the TBG (Tactical Boost Glide) hypersonic unit, tests of which, according to some reports, began in 2019. The exact characteristics of ARRW and TBG remain unknown, but the most daring estimates are expressed - up to 20M.

Thus, the calculated parameters of the AGM-183A and its warhead are unknown, and also not yet confirmed by tests. However, at the rumor level, this missile system is in full compliance with the requirements for a superfood. It is possible that D. Trump was talking specifically about the ARRW missile being developed. While it cannot be ruled out that it will be able to reach the indicated speed, and in addition, unlike the HTV-2, this missile is created as a full-fledged weapon.

Simple conclusions


Donald Trump is known for his love of high-profile statements that cause a violent reaction - from surprise to laughter. And in some circles, ridiculing presidential remarks even became a sign of good taste. However, all this applies only to forms, but not to content. The recent statements by the American president are based on real cases of great interest and no less danger.

Over the years, the United States has been working on the creation of hypersonic weapons and achieved certain results. Several research programs have been carried out, thanks to which new projects have been launched with an eye on real use in the army. The first samples are planned to be put on duty over the next several years, and after that the number of hypersonic systems will constantly grow. Sooner or later, missiles flying “17 times faster” than the existing ones will come into service.

All types of hypersonic missile systems have obvious advantages and high combat potential. Moreover, they are purely shock weapons. Receiving and putting on duty serial systems with a hypersonic warhead can be a serious threat to third countries. So, American arms naturally bother Russia and China.

It makes no difference what speed the combat unit shows - 5M or 20M. In any case, its interception is an extremely difficult task, which requires special solutions. Whether any countries have such technologies is not yet clear. For this reason, the amusing wording of “super-super-racket” does not look so funny anymore.

It is obvious that the United States is not going to abandon its hypersonic program and is ready to invest any necessary funds in it. Consequently, over the next few years, in service with the American army, fundamentally new strike complexes will indeed appear. Therefore, other countries should focus on both defense systems and retaliation. However, a healthy laugh will not hurt, unless it interferes with an objective assessment of threats.

      Still very cunning officials work in Washington / Pentagon. Namely.

      The question is. Why is it for the United States, in fact, advocating the prohibition of hypersonic weapons for the Russian Federation and the PRC, if the United States itself has been intensively developing it for 10 years and have quite successful results in developing it?

        Well, saying that doesn't mean getting married. Secondly ... the success of the development today is very controversial.
        Trump, without inventing a bicycle, did about the same as Putin did in his time, presenting 5 new types of weapons. I am sure in the near future and cartoons will show. But there is one more nuance, among all others, is that mattresses always overestimated the characteristics of their weapons in advertising bouquets, unlike our developers, who, on the contrary, significantly underestimated the performance characteristics of new products.
        Of course, mattresses will create something hyper-fast, but ... I think this will not happen now and not even after 5 years.

      We all perfectly remember the massive strikes of the Tomahawks in Syria. And the United States even determined (and I would like to write - determined) such blows a decisive role in achieving success. But the ardor "died down", as soon as most of the missiles did not find targets and was lost in space. Therefore, it is precisely from the USA that it is not necessary to expect any “super-duper” breakthrough technologies (after star wars, lunar landing, reusable missiles, invisible planes, railguns, laser guns and other “know-how”), or it will take a very long time.

    The fact is that there is only a form in the application. There is no content at all, the author of the article thought of it. And the form may seem ridiculous, but actually very successful. Trump, of course, feels his voter. No specifics, in the future any successful product can be attributed to this. And no one will understand 17 times or 7 times. And if there are no successful products, nothing too. A super-duper missile can be made for a long time ... But, in the short term, the electorate has the feeling that everything is super and ahead of the rest. Short and clear, in accordance with the average level of education of the American voter.

    I do not believe. They will burn at such speeds. And the area of ​​low pressure ahead of the flying object is not yet able to create. Plus, in parallel, the development of new principles of guidance, navigation and orientation should have been going on - no breakthroughs in this area (before practical application) have been heard. Maneuvering at these speeds is also a question. The trajectory, therefore, is predictable, the heat spot is huge - that is the chance for a successful interception. As for me, bluff in the style of another SDI. Trump badly needs the buns for the upcoming elections.

        If maneuvering only by changing the speed, the flight path is predictable. Let him try to fly around the interceptor moving towards the predicted trajectory. Gas-dynamic controls will change the angle of attack for some period of time, thereby increasing heating and lateral overload. With such a high-pressure head, the risk of destroying the structure is very high.

    First of all, I would not draw an analogy between Trump and Khrushchev, who once announced that we are making rockets like oven pies ...
    At the same time, rocket production in the USSR was just unfolding and real results were obtained by 58-60.
    Rather, an analogy with Putin is appropriate, which on the eve (and for) of his re-election showed cartoons to the world exactly 2 years ago.
    In addition, it should be noted that Americans have been engaged in hypersound for at least 50 years, being the undisputed leaders.
    Despite the militaristic orientation of their programs, they conducted these studies to a greater extent as scientific, but not practical.
    This was the reason for their lag in the practical military sphere.
    But I think this is not for long.
    The work of Russia and China was an incentive to create different hyper-super-duper bells and whistles.
    There is no doubt that a great technological power will quickly catch up.
    Therefore, it’s not worth relaxing, swelling from leaven of patriotism.

    The Americans have the best electronics (which we all try to buy up on a draft, and the Americans, laughing, plant our squinting agents, directed by gastropod analysts). So their electronic missile control units will be out of competition, at least ours. These missiles, naturally, will be anti-aircraft, since whoever is the master in the air, who can drive bombers and low-speed hunters with impunity, he won.
    The Americans have not yet been able to achieve hypersound. But 7-8 thousand kilometers per hour, plus a cool electronic stuffing - and all of our aircraft will be debris on the ground. And for the remnants of something flying in Australia they make unmanned flocks for escort. In general, yes, Trump really has, or is about to have super-super-racks.

      Hypersound is sound, and hypersonic speed is with Mach (M) numbers above 5.

        Yes) One must be very alternatively gifted in order not to understand this. Not wanting to print another sheet, I’ll just say that weapons should be cheap, especially those that are sold to the state for huge amounts of money. Moreover, the solid part of this weapon is generally inoperative, and so it is conceived. Why is everything so - think, read, learn.
        But there are weapons and WEAPONS. There is something that solves the matter. The future depends on him. And the ability to produce such weapons quickly, in large volumes, to cope with it despite losses, sabotage, and inevitable accidents in the war (that is, you have a very large reserve of people and capacities that are capable of this) determines whether you can win at all. If you have a dozen secret laboratories, your belief in security, or even superiority, is simply ridiculous.

          Somehow your predictions don't work very well.

          They have no sane hypersound for their hair so far, only nonsense that was launched in order to warm the Americanophiles with hope
          Trump's verbal interventions are not for "Americanophiles" (as well as the NI articles are not for Russian "patriots"), but to create an image of a strong leader in front of voters, the elections in the United States are coming soon, the Democratic primaries are over, this time the opponent is stronger, and Trump himself weaker (due to crown-chan) and chatter and tweet like mad. But US technology is US technology.

            Maybe, where would the military use of these wonderful missiles have been stronger? The Americans seem to have enough goals. And they know how to conduct shooting great. What publicity could be taken from a well-organized single-shot, it’s scary to think! But why is everything suspiciously quiet, do not you think?
            20 Machs in the atmosphere? Seriously? Do Americans have supermaterial capable of fending off the heat flux corresponding to this speed? Yes, there aren’t any missiles here either, with such thermal insulation you can just do wonders. Or were maneuvers in outer space accidentally captured? There can be more acceleration, no problem.

              What you need to understand in hypersonic weapons:
              It cannot have a large warhead - otherwise it will be insanely expensive.
              Since the small warhead needs high accuracy
              High-precision weapons that would have a speed of 4 + M (not even official hypersound) in dense layers are not available in principle (Dagger-Iskander 50 + m !!! - it makes sense only in the presence of nuclear warheads), and this is difficult to achieve because the device flies in a plasma cloud
              Well, now I think it’s clear why the issue of application is not worth it. It’s just that some boast about what isn’t there or is it so crude that it is not applicable in real combat conditions.

              20 Machs in the atmosphere?
              HTV planning warhead. In dense layers it is smaller, but the shield allows you to enter the atmosphere and maneuver, so this is a completely hypersonic weapon such as a glider. As a result, his average speed is significantly higher than 5M. But again, controllability and price.

                Hypersound is generally insanely expensive. Suddenly. Therefore, 4M is not hypersound at all. The main damaging effect of a hypersonic missile is simply a kinetic blow, because the main goal of hypersound is large American ships, where 50 m is acceptable, although with difficulty, but the speed should be over 10M. Yes, seeing through the plasma layer is not easy. Fortunately, a cool weapon is generally a complicated thing) But it’s not easy - it doesn’t mean impossible!

After all, it was not enough for him to have been in Russia, otherwise he would have surprised the entire "civilized world" with not such words.

    There is another round of the arms race and it is not surprising that the leading world powers (USA, Russia, China, etc.) are trying to overtake each other in this race so that, God forbid, this weapon will have to be used to get at least some advantages for some reason There is nothing new in this and history has repeatedly shown that any weapon, even a super duper, does not in itself ensure victory in a military conflict.
    The fact that the leaders of the leading world powers from time to time "shake the air" with loud statements is nothing unusual. The process is generally normal in any politics. What if a potential adversary gets scared and starts investing in armaments unaffordable money. And there is no need for war. And so such an enemy will collapse. It has already happened more than once. A typical example is Reagan's "star wars", when some leaders of the USSR bought into the US threats to create strategic space-based weapons and began to invest in the defense industry unbearable funds for the USSR. And then it turned out that the "Star Wars" were a bluff and the United States failed to create anything worthwhile from the "promises". But .... this bluff seriously strained the forces of the USSR and was one of the reasons (albeit not the main one) of the collapse of the USSR.
    It is possible that now we are witnessing a similar bluff, moreover, a multifaceted bluff, when not one country is already bluffing, but several. And here again the economic opportunities of such countries come to the fore. Until recently, such opportunities were incomparably greater in the USA and China than in the Russian Federation. What will happen in the near future i.e. it’s hard to say after a coronavirus pandemic, because the economy is collapsing for everyone and who can swim to the surface with minimal losses, even Woland with his cat would not undertake to predict. In addition, the United States was not going to fight with Russia and is not going to, realizing that such a war is the end of everything and everything. And Russia, on its own initiative, is unlikely to fight the United States for the same reasons. The US conflict with China is quite likely, but jokes with China are bad now. Yes, in terms of military technology, China is still lagging behind the United States, but in terms of human resources, the United States and China have not been close by. Therefore, there is a proposal to calmly relate to loud statements from whoever they come from and calmly do their job.
    And by the way about the birds, that is, about hypersonic missiles. It is useful to recall that the United States put forward the idea of ​​creating hypersonic missile weapons back in 1991 after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in order to be able to quickly respond to terrorist attacks and strike terrorists anywhere in the world in a very short time. Then the leadership of the Russian Federation made similar statements. Those. both countries started developing hypersound a long time ago. The United States, however, then restrained these developments, deciding that a more effective way to combat terrorists (real and fictional) is to send troops into the areas of interest to the United States, which ensures, on the one hand, a fairly high (in their opinion) effectiveness of the fight against terrorists, and on the other ensures effective grabbing of natural resources in the same areas. But the groundwork for hypersound has not gone anywhere, and now they take it out of the shelves, dust off and try to attach it somewhere. Moreover, yesterday's "partners" have again become the most likely opponents, which means they will allocate enough money for the resuscitation of the super duper hyper, etc., and the military-industrial complex / defense-industrial complex will not remain hungry, and even something will remain for feeding the politicians.

      The problem of hypersound is not in achieving speed, but in maintaining the stability of the trajectory and controllability indicators. And here the USA somehow doesn’t really succeed. And 20 Machs and meteorites near Chelyabinsk are developing.

    to accelerate to such speeds, a significant amount of fuel will still be required - which means the product will be VERY large, and its actual striking part cannot be large (otherwise it will not be long-range or will not be well protected, or it will not be extremely bulky and certainly not multi-platform). Such huge speeds and maneuvering at them will require a significant increase in the cost of the structure - through multiple redundancy of the "filling", expensive highly specialized composites, etc. Otherwise, the product will not be reliable enough by the standards of a modern high-precision military product. All this will make such a device too expensive and, at the same time, an exclusively point-like device, most likely suitable for hitting certain stationary objects that exclude the spread of power over a large area.
    I am leading to the fact that such developments are excessively expensive even for high-precision military developments, while they will have reduced power and reliability relative to analogues - all this "super-duper-theme" is somewhat reminiscent of the rocket hysteria of the Third Reich with its complete absurdity with the point of view of military economy and expediency. I understand why we and the PRC are developing such a topic - we have the temptation to launch large and expensive targets, bypassing their defensive order - the withdrawal of both aircraft carriers and based nuclear submarines would be a very successful step in terms of confrontation with the United States. However, for the United States, the development of such systems is a gamble on the verge of insanity, because to defeat key command posts in the depths of the enemy's defenses, this, most likely relying more on kinetic power, ammunition will not work in the best way, it is even less advisable to spend it on dispersed silos, and it is all the more stupid to spend it on earth complexes on which we rely to a large extent.
    I think that the Americans fell for their "scam" into the arms race and are now mastering significant funds in the dead-end directions of hypersonic super missiles and hypersonic interceptors. Uncle Sam is getting old and gradually slipping into senile dementia ..

    All types of hypersonic missile systems have obvious advantages and high combat potential. Moreover, they are purely shock weapons. Receiving and putting on duty serial systems with a hypersonic warhead can be a serious threat to third countries. So, American arms naturally bother Russia and China.

    It makes no difference what speed the combat unit shows - 5M or 20M. In any case, its interception is an extremely difficult task, which requires special solutions. Whether any countries have such technologies is not yet clear. For this reason, the amusing wording of “super-super-racket” does not look so funny anymore.

    It is obvious that the United States is not going to abandon its hypersonic program and is ready to invest any necessary funds in it. Consequently, over the next few years, in service with the American army, fundamentally new strike complexes will indeed appear. Therefore, other countries should focus on both defense systems and retaliation. However, a healthy laugh will not hurt, unless it interferes with an objective assessment of threats.

    Have a good laugh? Something is not funny to me, to a simple person from Peter Street.

    The US is hopelessly behind Russia in rocket technology. For the second decade, the United States has been purchasing RD-180 rocket engines from Russia, and not at all because of its cheapness, but simply cannot do anything close by itself. This is despite the fact that on the RD-180s they received ALL documentation more than 15 years ago.
    And there is nothing surprising here. In the United States, more than 14% of the population is illiterate (this is officially, in reality, more than 20%), at the level of ignorance of the alphabet.
    The country, which occupies 113th place in the world in terms of literacy, is not able to independently develop complex technologies.
    As for the American army, it is capable of fighting only with the Papuans.
    Judge for yourself, if on warships, according to American laws, you need to have not 2 types of toilets (for male and female), but at least 4-5, and this number is growing, how can such an army fight?
    And if, during the hostilities, transgender people with transvestites don’t come to a common opinion, which toilet should anyone go to ... in accordance with their great democracy?
