Tactical Hypersonic Weapons

Russia’s Zicron Hypersonic Missile
Tactical Hypersonic Weapons (THW) is a new weapons technology developed by Strategic Air & Space and launched on the web portal of The Strategic Arms Race. THW is a new generation of weapons that uses an air-breathing propulsion system to create supersonic turbulence, or shock waves, in the atmosphere above the battlefield. These waves can be used to.
The so-called Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC).
The HAWC is intended to develop a new generation of weapons for the U.S. military, by taking advantage of the latest advances in both propulsion and munitions technologies. It is a hypersonic air-breathing weapon designed to fly at Mach 20 for extended periods before releasing its munition payload.
The Pentagon is concerned that the US is falling behind Russia and China when it comes to hypersonic weapons. The Pentagon needs to upgrade its own hypersonic weapons system because the US military doesn’t want to be outmatched by Russia and China when it comes to high-speed missiles. The US is spending $600 million on upgrading its hypersonic weapons. If the US military wants to stay ahead of Russia and China, it needs to develop its own hypersonic missiles.
Hypersonic missiles are very difficult to intercept because they can travel very fast. These weapons can be launched from submarines, aircraft, and land vehicles. US can’t stop hypersonic weapons.
When asked by Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., what kind of defenses the U.S. has against hypersonic weapons, Hyten replied: “We have a very difficult — well, our defense is our deterrent capability. We don’t have any defense that could deny the employment of such a weapon against us, so our response would be our deterrent force, which would be the triad and the nuclear capabilities that we have to respond to such a threat,” Military.com reported.
