The United States will re-equip all its destroyers with hypersonic missiles

The US Navy plans to install hypersonic missiles on all of its main attack ships. New type weapons First of all, the Virginia-class submarines will receive, then the Zumwalt destroyers, after which the turn will come to the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

According to the President's National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, rearmament fleet will allow you to keep at gunpoint targets from longer distances. As Defense News explains, this is of decisive importance for the Navy, since the increase in combat power and range of destruction solve "the problem of keeping China at arm's length in the Asia-Pacific region."

However, as the O'Brien report says, the current design of the upper stage of the first US Navy hypersonic missiles makes them too large to fit into the launchers currently used on all Arleigh Burke-class ships:

The current launchers are not large enough to accommodate larger missiles.

Therefore, a long period of modernization of ships lies ahead. The work on refitting the fleet as part of the transition to new missiles will consume the full potential of the United States military shipbuilding for many years to come, the report argues.

Uryakalki seem to be in doubt? So much the worse for these uryakalka, who considered that hypersound is exclusively Putin's achievement. And that others cannot achieve it in principle, especially some Americans!

An unpleasant event. This breaks the whole asymmetric concept of Putin, who opposed hypersound to NATO's eastward advance. It is not clear what Putin will answer now. There are simply not so many carriers. And it is not expected.

Why would the United States develop its missiles in response to some cartoons? ))))

Listen, can you express your thoughts without "uryakalok" and Putin?
In almost every commentary of yours or "uryakalka" or Putin, or all together.
Honestly, it’s already sore. Can you be more diverse?

Well, where Putin is, there are always uryakalka. You can't do without it!)))

I know for sure that there are plenty of those who have no doubt that only we, headed by Putin, can do this.
The fact that we cannot create a phone, a PC, or a car with a high-tech engine does not bother or bother anyone .. They still believe TV unconditionally ..

Have you already mastered hypersound in the USA?

They have several programs in full swing; apparently, they are seriously counting on a tangible result in the foreseeable future. This may well be, say, a conditionally hypersonic ballistic missile or something similar. One way or another, it is logical to start preparing the fleet for new weapons now, because there are a lot of ships, the process is not quick.

[And why do you need]

We hope that at the time of the decision with the upper stages, Russia will have the means to intercept these missiles

[The leader of the Redskins]

The most offensive thing is that all the same, they have enough papers with portraits of the presidents for this rearmament!

[Thrifty]

Well, and new options for "assimilating" hundreds of billions! There is never enough money, if you drive with the desire to get rich from the budget!

[Ka-52]

It is interesting what they will put on the ships if the "experts" of the VO have unanimously proved that hypersonic missiles do not exist. There is only Soyuzmultfilm. Where are these heroes of verbal battles, who did not write anything to me as arguments?

[Kalmar]

Quote: Ka-52

I wonder what they will put on the ships there if the "experts" of the VO have together proved that hypersonic missiles do not exist

Now not, then they may appear. Again, the question of the correct interpretation of the terms: with proper imagination, a conventional ballistic missile can also be considered hypersonic if its warhead returns to the dense layers of the atmosphere at a speed of> 5M. In general, where engineers do not keep up, marketers come to the rescue))

[Ka-52]

Not now,

that is, as soon as the Americans invent a hypersonic missile, it will be considered as such. What the Russians are inventing are Putin's tales. Ok, so let's write down - "hypersonic missiles" are of the type of brands "champagne" and "cognac", they can be called such if only if they have the correct geography of production

[Kalmar]

In truth, I am inclined to think that the main thing is for the rocket to be produced, fly and do its job. Any epithets ("hypersonic", "inconspicuous", "indestructible", etc.) - this is more the lot of marketers and sofa experts in phallometry.

Here the story can turn out to be like with the F-35 and Su-57: each side (the United States and we) considers its aircraft to be quite "generation 5", and the "competitor" is inferior (the F-35 does not have a cruising supersonic sound, the Su-57 ambiguous with stealth and all that). But in a real conflict, the pilot will not care which generation was assigned to his plane, as long as it works as it should.

[Ka-52]

Here the story may turn out as with the F-35 and Su-57: each side (the USA and we) considers its aircraft to be quite a "generation 5"

The breakdown of aircraft by generation is a purely conditional thing. It was invented by analysts, and then picked up by journalists. According to the logic of generations, there cannot be. Because any weapon (tank, ship, aircraft) is created according to a specific technical assignment with specific technical requirements. Which is formed by the Ministry of Defense, taking into account various factors - from the purpose to the operation. Nobody says: "Make me a 5th generation plane." They say this: the speed is that, the weapon is that, the combat radius is not lower than that, the mass is not higher than that, and so on.
So it is with hypersonic missiles.

[rotmistr60]

We will re-equip, but the missiles are larger than the launchers. And in the end, "zest"

will absorb the full potential of the United States military shipbuilding for many years to come

Yet something is wrong in this "kingdom". Trump loudly declares that the United States has a weapon that neither Russia nor China has, and when they see it, they will be envious. But we (the Americans) will not show it because it is very secret, and some of the technologies have already been stolen by the Russians. At the same time, the naval ones declare that the rearmament will absorb all the potential for many years. So these "many years" Russia will also not pick its nose and wait for the United States to catch up and overtake.

[Maki maki]

the current design of the upper stage of the first US Navy hypersonic missiles makes them too large to fit into the launchers currently in use

Maybe you should continue to design further, what would fit in? Although ... It's the master's business.

[voyaka uh]

Berks have Mark 41 launch containers.
On the Mark 57 Zumvolts. They are longer.
The new CD due to the booster turned out to be long. And fits only in MK-57

Yes, MK-57 is 1,8 m longer, but the diameter seems to be the same, but according to the admiral:

The current launchers are not large enough to accommodate larger missiles.

Is this how they are going to make the Berks longer? There only if it works above the deck

[mark1]

The United States plans to install hypersonic missiles on all of its main attack ships.

As soon as they do it, they will immediately establish it, whoever doubts ...
Case for small ...

[yfast]

And the old missiles will be fired at, they will not be thrown out?

[svp67]

Therefore, a long period of modernization of ships lies ahead.

I wonder what will happen faster, they will convert all ships or create a rocket, the dimensions of which will allow using the old launcher

[Graz]

statesmen can declare anything, but in reality it will not be so easy to do, both in science and in money

[Avior]

something is not clear.
If Zamwolt has cells Mk57 noticeably more cells MK41 by Arlie Berkov, this is understandable, and the report can be perceived as pushing the construction of new Zamwolts, then with Virginia it is not clear.
For launch, it has 533 mm torpedo tubes and launchers for Tomahawks, which are similar in size.
Why are these missiles suddenly appearing in the Virginias? Where will they be placed if the missiles are really larger for MK41 cells, which are normally fitted with Tomahawks?

A conditionally hypersonic ballistic missile is unlikely to take place. It can only be used for firing at stationary, previously reconnoitered targets. For firing at the same ships or other targets, for example, airfields, a cruise missile is required, and with this they have a "plug" for now. They seem to have closed the X-51 aviation program, what will be new is still difficult to say.

Andrew! Do you enjoy writing nonsense? So, it seems not, an adequate person, why did you write outright nonsense now? What does “correct geography” have to do with it or not? To you comrade, by the way, I explained it quite correctly. In principle, all ground-based ballistic missiles with a range of over 400-500 km can be considered hypersonic.
The same can be said for air-launched ballistic missiles (aeroballistic missiles). At the end of the active section of the trajectory, their speed can also be hypersonic (the most famous example is the "Dagger").
But weapons using the so-called. "Motorless hypersound" is one thing. Having reached the maximum speed, they begin to slow down and quickly pass into the category of supersonic (Iskander has a maximum speed of about 2,1 km / s, i.e. hypersonic, and near the ground the speed is already 700-800 m / s, that is, about 2-2,5M, i.e. supersonic)
In fact, a real "hypersonic weapon" can be considered weapons (missiles) that use the so-called. "motor hypersound", i.e. their hypersonic speed is maintained for most of the trajectory by a ramjet engine. Nobody has such missiles now in service. Work on "military hypersound" is now underway. We have it "Zircon", in the USA it is EMNIP program HAWC
