has always been an American aircraft carrier, which has always liked the "freedom aircraft carrier", which has always annoyed countries around the world. However, among other countries in the world, there is no aircraft carrier of any country that can compete with the US aircraft carrier. Therefore, in order to restrain the US aircraft carrier, Russia took the lead in developing and manufacturing hypersonic weapons, and installed the "pioneer" and "dagger". With two hypersonic missiles, Russia has successfully become the world's first country equipped with hypersonic weapons.
In addition, just last month, the Russian army successfully conducted a test fire of the "Zircon" hypersonic cruise missile. In the field of hypersonic weapons, Russia has made quite outstanding achievements, but the United States, which has always been at the forefront of the world, lost to Russia in this field this time.
The hypersonic weapon
in the US Army's conception recently, according to US media reports, the US Army has launched a new hypersonic weapon . This new hypersonic weapon system is mainly divided into three units, including transportation, installation and launch, each of which can be installed on a 40-ton trailer.
As for the development unit of this hypersonic weapon, it is still the famous American Lockheed Martin Company. Regarding the development of US hypersonic weapons, Lockheed Martin said that this hypersonic weapon will have a flight speed and super strike capability that other weapons can’t match, and can strike anywhere in the world within a few minutes. In addition, this hypersonic weapon can not only be deployed on land, but can also be deployed on the US military's Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine.
However, Lockheed Martin also stated that the time for to develop the first experimental prototype of a hypersonic weapon will be around 2023 . That is to say, this US military’s hypersonic weapon is still in the conception stage and has not yet Concrete implementation.
was first proposed by the United States, but it has fallen behind Russia
. In fact, the country that first proposed the concept of hypersonic weapons was the United States. As early as 2011, the United States began to conduct research and development experiments on aircraft. However, in the subsequent development process, the United States began to lose the chain. The development speed of my country and Russia in this area has obviously surpassed the United States, leading the United States to take the lead in equipment. Hypersonic missile. In contrast, the United States is still in the PPT stage in this field. The outside world believes that it will take at least ten years for the US military to achieve hypersonic weapons.
