Pentagon admits Trump's C-HGB "Super Duper Rocket" exists

52

The US Department of Defense confirmed that the "super-duper missile" that US President Donald Trump spoke about with such fervor over the past months is indeed there and has already been tested.

We are talking about a new hypersonic missile, which, however, is not the fastest weapons in the world, as the American president said. The Super Duper Missile is a hypersonic missile tested in March 2020. The speed of the rocket is Mach 17, while the Russian Avangard has a high speed, which refutes Trump's claims of the world's fastest rocket.



We are building hundreds of new ships, bombers, jet fighters and helicopters; new Tanks, military satellites, rockets and rockets; We even have a hypersonic missile that travels 17 times faster than the fastest rocket currently in the world, and can hit a target 1000 miles away, within 14 inches of the center point.

- Donald Trump said not so long ago.

Apparently, entrepreneur Trump is not strong in military terminology, so his statements about a new missile have always been somewhat confused, and for a long time no one could understand what exactly the American head of state meant by "super-duper missile." Dots over the "i" were placed at the Pentagon: the military department said that the president was talking about C-HGB. This rocket was tested in March 2020 at the Pacific Proving Ground in Barking Sands, Hawaii.

American military analyst Kyle Mizokami emphasizes that hypersonic weapons are those weapons that have a speed of Mach 5 and faster. Such missiles are designed to suppress enemy air defense systems, since the latter takes less than a minute to identify, identify, track and shoot down a hypersonic missile moving at a similar speed. Currently, according to Mizokami, the leadership in the field of hypersonic weapons belongs to Russia and China, since the United States was unable to take advantage of its achievements in the development of hypersonic weapons in time.

It is clear that the American president, describing the C-HGB as the world's fastest weapon, was cunning or mistaken. So far, the Americans have not been able to achieve the speed that the Russian system of hypersonic weapons "Avangard", that is, 20-27 Machs, has. Moreover, even all long-range ballistic missiles, including not only the Russian Topol-M, but also the American Minuteman III, have a higher speed in the terminal phase of flight than the presented C-HGB.

A video from the tests of an American hypersonic missile at the Pacific test site also appeared on the Web:


Mizokami also debunks the myth that Russia allegedly received plans to create hypersonic weapons from Trump's predecessor, President Barack Obama. In February 2020, speaking to state governors, Trump spoke of the new rocket this way:

We have super-fast rockets - a huge number of super-fast rockets. We call them "super-fast" because they are four, five, six, and even seven times faster than a conventional rocket. We need this because, again, Russia has such a missile. I'll tell you how Russia got it. She got it, presumably from the Obama administration, before we did it. And it's very bad.

Apparently, Trump made such a statement to hurt Obama, but in reality nothing like this happened, the American analyst is sure.

        Harmful hats

        What kind of hat? The Pentagon then officially declares that they have nothing, and will not be at least until 2025, then immediately expresses that they say everything is there, do not worry. It is clear, you need to put on a good face when you play badly and not lose face. And Trump, in general, as a politician, grinds his tongue like a broomstick. On the other hand, the states have already caught lies so many times that it is somehow naive to believe all their statements. Then the Russians interfere in everything and they cannot do anything, then Moscow pays money to the Taliban for the murder of Americans, then "super-duper unsurpassed "destroyer" Zumvolt "will do which in fact turned out to be worthless, then what kind of crap. In our time, a very narrow-minded person can take the Americans' word for it.

    Explain to me the fool. An ordinary ICBM that we have, the Americans and the Chinese, flies at a speed of about 7 km / sec. And this is more than 20 Machs. Is it hypersound or not? The Vanguard is a payload for an ICBM, naturally, it flies at a speed of more than Mach 20. Does Avangard have its own engine? I do not know. If not, how is it different from a conventional warhead?
    I think that hypersonic missiles are those that fly in the atmosphere on their engines and also maneuver. Like "Dagger". The "Dagger" has a maximum speed, as they say, 10-12 Machs, which is about 4 km / sec, like OTR. And the S-400 easily hits targets with such speed.

    In principle, this can be called hypersound, although it is rather incorrect to speak of hypersound and Mach speeds. But they say. "hypersound" is now in trend and journalists simply cannot not "cover" this problem. the main part of the trajectory is for missiles (both ICBMs and IRBMs) in outer space. And while talking about speed, as about the speed of sound in the atmosphere - you yourself understand, means to sign your own ignorance.

    "Vanguard" is the "payload" (combat equipment) for ICBMs. Of course, it flies at a speed of about 7 km / s. You can, of course, translate this speed into the speed of sound in the atmosphere and say that it flies at a speed of 20-27M, but this would be an incorrect statement. The hypersonic speed of the same "Vanguard" can only be said when it enters the atmosphere.
    In fact, it is no different (in terms of speed) from a conventional warhead. It has an engine, but with extremely limited capabilities. And the meaning of this engine is to make "evolutions" when entering the atmosphere, and not so "sharp" at that. as many people think. In this respect, the aircraft performing aerobatics makes more "abrupt" evolutions than the same "Vanguard"

    You're right. it makes sense to talk about hypersonic missiles only in the context of their flight in the atmosphere. And here it is worth distinguishing between two options.
    The first is the flight of a ballistic missile, the so-called. "non-motorized hypersound". When hypersonic speed is achieved exclusively by a rocket engine. After the fuel burns out, such a hypersonic rocket starts to lose speed and at the surface it no longer has a hypersonic, but a supersonic speed. This applies to all ground-based and air-based OTRs (this option includes our "Dagger" and ballistic weapons of other countries.
    The second option is "motor hypersound". In fact, it is the missiles operating on this principle that are completely "hypersonic weapons." The ramjet hypersonic engines maintain hypersonic speed. But now (yet) there is not a single such missile in service. The American projects X-43A and X-51 are either mothballed or "ordered to live long."
    It is more difficult to shoot down a hypersonic cruise missile than a hypersonic ballistic missile. But progress does not stand still. The principle of "Shield and Sword" has not yet been canceled ...

    Quote: An64
    So what is the advantage of hypersound? And where is it?

    The only advantage is that it takes less time. The same Granit cruise missile with a speed of 2,5M will cover a section of 600 km in about 13 minutes, and the same hypersonic cruise missile with a speed of 9M in about 4 minutes. The time for the reaction of air defense systems will decrease

    Does Avangard have its own engine?

    The flight path for the Avangard is set by the ballistic trajectory of the rocket, which takes it into space

    If not, how is it different from a conventional warhead?

    Flight trajectory, it does not fly in a ballistic trajectory.

    Before entering the atmosphere, he flies through the ballлhistorical trajectory. The difference is that, unlike a conventional warhead, it can enter the atmosphere more gently and much earlier. And only then can he perform "body movements in the atmosphere". And quite limited ...

    Of course, there is no engine (the speed from ICBMs there is already decent.) A conventional warhead just falls on the target. Of course, the trajectory is carefully calculated. But missile defense systems can also "calculate" it and send a missile towards it. The avant-garde is a warhead with wings. It maneuvers , it is impossible to calculate what he will turn the next second, as well as his target.
    I think there are drawbacks. If earlier up to a dozen battlegrounds were placed on ICBMs, I think one Vanguard will fit.

    If we want a winged vehicle to evolve in the atmosphere, changing its position relative to the ballistic flight path, it simply must have an engine. A small one, possibly either on mono-fuel, or some kind of gas engine running on at least compressed carbon dioxide. But such an engine simply must exist. Here either-or. Either this apparatus makes some kind of "body movement" in the atmosphere and has an engine, or it has no engine, but its "evolution" is insignificant and predictable. ..
    You can calculate everything. Just like that and with a short turning radius (it will not turn "sharply"). Here is the question, incl. and about permissible overloads. It is impossible to make a sharp, unpredictable turn on a winged vehicle entering the atmosphere at a speed of 20-25M. It will just fall apart. And if the turning radius is 50-100 kilometers, then you can calculate it ...
    And why exactly the "Vanguard" was needed is unclear. The work was carried out from the mid-80s and NEVER until 2018 were brought to the series.
    And even with the "avant-garde" not everything is clear. He had only 4 successful tests. And showing how he maneuvers in front of the Americans is not the best option. so IMHO it is unlikely that the tests involved such vigorous maneuvering
