China Years Ahead of U.S. On Hypersonic Missiles With Heat-Seeking Technology

Legal Insurrection: China Reportedly Years Ahead of U.S. On Hypersonic Missiles With Heat-Seeking Technology  

"Warfare could be transformed by hypersonic missiles able to search for, identify and lock on to targets based on heat signature.” 

China claims to have achieved a major breakthrough in hypersonic weaponry by adding heat-seeking capabilities to its missiles, the Hong Kong daily South China Morning Post reported Friday. “Warfare could be transformed by hypersonic missiles able to search for, identify and lock on to targets based on heat signature,” the newspaper added. 

The U.S. military is yet to develop heat-seeking technology for its hypersonic missiles, news reports suggest. “Heat sensing at hypersonic speed is difficult because the pace of the missile itself generates heat that interferes with detection systems,” the British newspaper Telegraph explained. 

The news comes as the Russian state media also announced the successful testing of its hypersonic missiles. “Russia test-fired around 10 new Tsirkon (Zircon) hypersonic cruise missiles from a frigate and two more from a submarine, Interfax news agency said on Friday citing northern fleet,” the Reuters reported on Friday.

Heat seeking? Really? I could be very wrong.

"They're not listening to their sonar.

At 30 knots, they could run over

my daughter's stereo and not hear it.

They're not trying to find Ramius, ..."

I would like to see the feedback loop on that. You have to have a least a few iterations for course correction.

Could a hypersonic missile outrun its "headlights" ?

We are told that Joe has been told to throw a few billions at it. Funny but Pelosi and the scum have been throwing round trillions around outside the normal budget process and only now they are throwing a few billions at it.

Money is good, but at times you can throw money around and get no results. I bet Xi has done more management by walking around than Joe or maybe even Austin.

We know the racist, who Austin appointed for his anti-racism campaign. Like an anti-racism campaign was needed for a military that has a higher rate of mixed marriage than the general public.

Y0u had a government too busy chasing Trump and his government to include a long incompetent and corrupt CIA, now completely politicized and morally bankrupt military and a DOJ investigatig soccer moms.

That is how we fell behind CCP and Russia in all technologies and whythey were surprised.

The USA has been marked for collapse in that club of Rome meeting, shortly after the US dollar was taken off the gold standard by Nixon, at the same time Kissinger outlined his globalism plan and opened China up

It all went wrong

They still are going ahead with the collapse of the US though, and my country too, it'll be a bloodbath if these traitors are not stopped
