Yep, it sure looks like a harmless civilian system to me, no way that 11,000 mph missile could be used for military purposes.
Harmless.

“Use only under adult supervision “
“Light fuse and get away”
Or maybe
“Thanks Bill”
“These mach10+ missiles really make me nervous. They’re carrier killers and they are very good at it. “
There are no mach 10 missiles capable of hitting a moving target. Mach 10 is currently limited to ICBMs.
So, they’re not good at it at all.
oops. my bad. sorry.
Slim Pickens is going to have a hard time riding that thing!
I heard it can go 11,511 mph.
Really, when converting units, you’re supposed to round off to the same number of digits as the source value, rather than create false precision.
“Like it’s ridin’ on rails, baby!”
Yeah, but what’s it’s carbon footprint?

Don’t work yourself into a lather just yet. The question you should ask yourself is: “How many actual carriers have the reds actually sunk with it to date?”
35+ years ago, I saw some really cosmic technology being introduced into and tested on existing military hardware of the day that is just now being incorporated into today’s weapons systems. 35+ years ago, they foresaw the threats we would face down the road, and damned if they weren’t right.
It almost stands to reason, these super-duper weapons the reds are producing today were foreseen 30 or more years ago as well, and there’s more than likely systems/weapons in place to deal with the situation.
Unless you received your information in the appropriate classified surroundings by the appropriately cleared briefers, don’t believe everything you see, hear, or read. You’re getting only the “sanitized for public consumption” version anyway. And if you’re getting it from the MSM, you can bet the house it’s chock full of lies!
‘Feel better now?
Having to paint on all those Chairman Mao quotes will surely slow production quite a bit.
Does this really go that fast?
If it is what they say it is; yes.
A Scram Jet would have to be launched by another vehicle and boosted to about Mach 5 before its own engines could be fired.
It would probably be launched by droppable solid rocket boosters.
The idea that this is a private project is laughable for just that reason.
NOT A PROBLEM, since we spend 3 times more on our military...
