US intelligence "slept" China's development of a new hypersonic missile

62

American intelligence "slept" China's development of a new hypersonic missile capable of reaching US territory and at the same time carrying a nuclear weapon, says the Financial Times, citing sources familiar with the situation.

According to the newspaper, China tested a hypersonic missile at the end of the summer, which caught US intelligence "by surprise", since no one in Washington expected such a breakthrough from Beijing. According to the sources cited by the FT, the Chinese "failed" the tests, the rocket did not reach the required parameters, but the very fact of work in this direction aroused the concern of the Americans.



The United States acknowledged that Beijing had significantly overtaken Washington in the development of hypersonic weapons, and US intelligence had "overslept" China's work in this direction. According to one of the sources closely familiar with the situation, the United States "has no idea" how the Chinese managed to get ahead of the Americans, and this is "very alarming."

Regarding the Chinese development itself, which was announced by the sources of the publication, nothing is known, except that it can fly over the South Pole, and not over the North Pole, where the United States has concentrated its air defense systems. But this is still "theoretically".

Note that the United States has repeatedly stated the need to catch up and overtake Russia and China in the development of hypersonic weapons. The Pentagon has already recognized that the Russians and the Chinese are significantly ahead of the Americans in this area, and are demanding funds for their own development.

      Well, what range of fire does this missile have or should it have? Something seems to me that the Chinese will need a lot of time to bring it to mind.

          What was placed in the photo is a maximum of OTR with a range of 600-1000 km in terms of energy reserves. 600 - ground launch, 1000 - drop from the aircraft platform. It can acquire intercontinental range only as a warhead of an ICBM, not otherwise.

        A rocket with a hypersonic gliding aircraft flew through low-orbit space, circling the globe, then dropped to hit the target. However, according to sources, the hit did not occur, US intelligence notes that the undershoot was about 33 kilometers.

      Disregarding:

      The publications in the press that Russia and China are engaged in the development and testing of hypersonic weapons, apparently, were not translated into English ... lol
      Note that the United States has repeatedly stated the need to catch up and overtake Russia and China in the development of hypersonic weapons.

      There are developments, the appearance of which cannot be caused by desires and appeals alone. So until a certain time there was a secret of gunpowder, silk, paper, Damascus steel ... In the world, only Russia has a nuclear icebreaker fleet. Even the plumbing unit on the ISS is Russian-made.
      As I understand it in potato skins problems of creation (appearance everywhere) of hypersonic weapons, the main problems lie in the creation of materials that can withstand high temperatures. And here is the news:
      The ceramic material with the highest melting point among all currently known compounds - up to 4200 degrees Celsius - was developed by a group of scientists from NUST MISIS. Due to the unique combination of physical, mechanical and thermal properties, the material can be successfully used in the most heated components of aircraft: nose cones, air-jet engines and sharp leading edges of the wings, operating at temperatures above 2000 C.

      Maybe someone will correct me. I have nothing to do with the strategic nuclear forces. It used to be, an ICBM put into orbit a "bus" with passengers. Who left at stops, strictly on schedule. And now they can leave whenever they want. Mozch in the Pentagon is boiling, everything this is an SPRN on, does not work.

        At the end of OUT, the bus itself, with pinpoint accuracy, placed the passengers at the right points in space, along the way creating a bunch of false, often inflatable passengers, which fully correspond to the signature of the real ones. Only the atmosphere or a nuclear explosion nearby allows the grain to be separated from the chaff. A new generation of passengers has grown legs and moves independently in space after the end of the OUT ICBM. This makes the trajectory of their movement absolutely unpredictable for missile defense and negates the probability of interception. In fact, passengers are vulnerable only on OUT, but it goes over the territory inaccessible to missile defense systems. But the opponent's early warning system will still fulfill its task and will warn about launches. Further development of events in the hands of people.

            I can add that the bus did not accelerate to the first space flight and did not go into orbit. For there is no need. Then you have to spend fuel on braking. An example of this was the R-36ORB, which did not stand on duty for a long time. It was possible to get her monoblock to New York, but overall the accuracy was disgusting.

            Passengers are always vulnerable, even when they are in a positional area as part of a MIRVed ICBM. The only question is the ratio of the number of people standing on the database to the number of those who have completed the task. Now the ABM priorities will shift from transatmospheric interception to the directly protected object. After all, the increase in range, maneuverability and low trajectories of the GZPB are somehow exchanged for a decrease in speed. And in this fictitious situation, some S-500 has a much better chance than GBI.

              The Yankees are strenuously munching on the SPACE Echelon of missile defense. They are moving the European missile defense system closer to us in order to solve the problem of interception on the ascending branch of the ICBM trajectory. Because it is more effective to crush the entire "OS nest" at once, rather than chasing each stinging individual personally.
              By the way, about the OS. The Yankees are planning an instant disarming global strike to end our ICBMs even before they leave silos. Therefore, along with covering their positional areas of the Minuteman base, they do not forget about preventive measures. By the way, we too ...

                        The affected area of ​​the SM-3 is up to 900 km. And it is determined not so much by the rocket energy as by the radar resolution. By the way, no one has ever experimentally confirmed this, especially by intercepting the BB. Neither THAAD, nor SM-3, nor GBI intercepted them at all.
                        where the calculations of firing in pursuit of our ICBMs with SM-3 missiles were given.

                        Is it like that? wassat The final speed of the SM-3 interceptor is half that of an ICBM. Do you think they will start very early? Kinetic interceptor SM-3 against BB RSD or OTRK can only work on a collision course. There is no talk of ICBMs at all.

                          No.
                          We're talking about different missiles. I'm aboutSM-3 block IIA.
                          With the same length as the SM-3 blokIA, the new SM-3 blokIIA missile has a larger diameter - 530 mm versus 343 for the SM-3 blokIA. The flight speed increased significantly, V = 4500–5000 m / s, and the affected area: - 2500 km in range and 1500 km in N. The warhead remained unchanged - kinetic destruction with a direct hit on the target of a striking element. However, the kinetic interceptor itself is larger and, accordingly, contains a significantly greater number of damaging elements than its predecessor, which means that it provides a noticeable increase in the probability of hitting a target in conditions similar to those of early samples. Guidance system - radio command on the trajectory from the ship's control system "Aegis" and passive homing in the final section. The dual-band infrared seeker has enhanced capabilities for classifying false targets and, according to the developers, has a range of up to 300 km for an ICBM BB (in the transatmospheric segment of their flight, within the atmosphere, the range can fluctuate estimated, taking into account the transparency and density of the atmosphere, in the range: from 60– 70 to 100-150 kilometers). In this case, the kinetic block of the rocket has its own engine, which allows it to deviate from the flight path by 3–3,2 kilometers.
                          Actually SM-3 blokIIA is a new rocket, which has qualitatively different capabilities compared to earlier models of sea-based missile defense missiles.

                          To do this, it is necessary to place rockets with liquid propellants in the vicinity of Teikovo and Kozelsk. But they are not there and are not expected lol .
                          In fact, the SM-3 blokIIA is a new missile that has qualitatively different capabilities compared to earlier models of sea-based missile defense missiles.

                          During its existence, this new rocket shot down one faulty satellite, the trajectory of which was absolutely predictable, and one upper stage of the target. And this is not even a dummy BB. Before that, there were two unsuccessful launches.
                          5 seconds after the detection of the start of the ICBM.

                          These objects will be demolished by the time of launch and no one will fly from there.

          A decoy target is a bottomless cone. Like an ice cream cone.
          They are compactly put one on top of the other so as not to take up much space.
          You can distinguish them from real ones by their chemical composition.
          The missile defense kinetic killer seeker includes a chemical spectrograph, which is jammed by this.

            In vacuum. -1 atmosphere. That is, it is even easier to inflate a balloon there. And on the radar operator's screen, inflatable targets are fully consistent with real ones. By what signs outside the atmosphere does the spectrograph determine the chemical composition mismatch?

            Warrior, what should be covered with a "thin layer" (literally sprayed) on these caps with the chemical composition that covers the BB? This time.
            Secondly, in addition to light LC, there are also heavy ones, which are "selected" only in the dense layers of the atmosphere.
            Third, spectral analysis in space? What kind of INSTALLATION should be placed on the killer? Can you even imagine it? And which of these is in orbit today? X-37V or what?

              Instead of a warhead, the following apparatus is attached to a missile defense missile:

              He does not chase the warhead, but "stands" in her way.
              Flies on a collision course.
              The warhead, the speed of which is enormous - more than 20 MAX - crashes against it. If he aimed correctly, of course.
              Which is very difficult.
              The killer has gas rudders for maneuverability and all sorts of devices for targeting and determining a real warhead.

                It remains only to understand how he will be in the right place at the right time and stick into the right balloon against the background of dozens of others. And this thing is absolutely useless against those who do not hide in the balls and change the flight trajectory.

                    And such a percentage of hits was quite possible to afford. After all, they were launched on very expensive aircraft, where there were pilots. Start two lol (actually more) ICBMs with the aim of disabling one AP, provided that each enemy ICBM has at least three of them lol .

                      It was a test. First generation.
                      Check the very possibility of a direct hit
                      on a collision course.
                      A new generation is now preparing. Each GBI rocket will carry
                      the killers' bus (just like on the ICBM - the warhead bus).
                      Bus versus bus. smile
                      (The tests were very expensive. We figured out how to make them cheaper.)
                      You can't intercept everything, of course. Any air defense is a little full of holes.
                      But you can thin out warheads. Each interception is a saved city.

                        That is, the EKV tests revealed some flaws that could not be corrected by modernization and the development of a new interceptor began. Then there will be many years of testing and correction of jambs. With the increasing weight of PN, the media will have to be upgraded ... This music will be eternal lol ... Personally, I bet on Korea and Iran, which during this time will develop the GZPB themselves or with the help of Chinese comrades and will reset all this fuss with interception in the middle section of the trajectory.

                          I also think that interception in the middle section is too difficult.
                          We need to build a huge missile defense missile, similar to an ICBM.

                          ICBMs must be shot down on takeoff, aiming at the vulnerable first stage.
                          Or a warhead in the middle section, but from above - from space.
                          For this, satellite constellations are being developed.

      The role of the USSR in global politics for the United States was replaced by China. Opponents in the same weight category. For China, the US is the largest trading partner, as is the EU.
      I remember the Apollo program began only due to the fact that the USSR overtook the United States in space. And in the armament of the USSR and the USA constantly competed, but the war between them never began. Although this race was one of the factors that killed the USSR itself without a war. In China, the government is much smarter now than it was in the USSR, and the competition between China and the United States will only benefit them.

      American intelligence (CIA, DIA) needs to pay more attention to its immediate responsibilities - collecting information of a military, economic and political nature, and not engage in subversive ideological activities, the creation of terrorist organizations and the overthrow of the regimes unwanted by the United States. It was then, perhaps, that the landmark events in the Chinese defense industry were not overslept.
