US Way Behind Schedule For Key Weapons Tech Already Used By China
"The U.S. military is still months behind on its hypersonic missile program, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said in a report released Monday, as China is ramping up its own hypersonic testing.Hypersonic missile systems are capable of taking evasive measures mid-flight and moving at speeds up to 7,000 miles an hour — five times the speed of sound.
Already plagued by delays, the U.S. Army will likely not be able to make its first-ever hypersonic weapons system combat-ready until at least fiscal year 2025, which begins on Oct. 1, according to the GAO report.
U.S. intelligence has previously warned that China is currently leading the pack in terms of hypersonic capabilities, while the U.S. program has struggled with operational problems and delays, according to Bloomberg.
By 2018, China had conducted more than 20 times as many hypersonic tests as the U.S., according to a February report from the Congressional Research Service."

ReplyDeleteWars are stupid caused by sick egomaniacs who really are not leaders!
ReplyDeleteLynn knows the truth because I shared it with her and she's too frightened to publish my comment because it makes her look like the hypocritical fake that she is.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that Lynn only loves America when Republicans are in charge. When a Democrat is in the White House, she shit talks our country and she is the worse kind of traitor.

ReplyDelete@9:43...I am simply asking for a verifiable name such as from a Google account.
ReplyDeleteCertainly don't want YOU stopping by where I live. In fact, I think I will take you off my Christmas card list for good. :)
