“I call BS. The Russians parade a lot of plywood prototypes of their missiles...”

Not plywood apparently.

More Deep State doo doo peddled by the Daily Mail.

what a joke.....

The hypersonic is a Nuke. All of Ukraine parts of Russia would be glowing.

People who believe this stuff are mental midgets......

Does Russia actually have a missile that goes 9,000 mph?

An ICBM will achieve 15,000 MPH.

Browse YT, there is the missile in flight. It is definitely hypersonic.

You need to test out your new toys once in a while. Just to work the bugs out.

“An ICBM will achieve 15,000 MPH.”

Of course, but these are gliders that have controlled flights, more like planes.

And you can tell that by looking at some youtube video. What did you count the number of telephone poles that whizzed by per second? Don’t be a clown.

I’d be wary of claims published by the media. Hypersonic flight in the atmosphere is notoriously difficult due to heating friction. It requires both an extraordinary amount of energy to propel the missile and exotic alloys to prevent the vehicle from basically melting/disintigrating.

If Cobra64 is correct on the plywood part then our defensive weapon could be a Chain or Circular Saw...

I can see the halo indicating air friction and hear the gap between the flying missile and the sonic boom. It is not enough to precisely calculate the speed, but enough to say “significantly (like twice) faster than Mach 3”.

You are the only one treating this seriously. When Pooty launched a
hypersonic on Ukraine, his real message is to Europe. That he can launch hypersonic missiles on them too. And the USA if he is really advanced/

And did you also check the serial number in that video and confirm the number with the Ukrainians (from wreckage) to make sure they are one and the same? Just stop!

Finally someone with a brain. The SR71 flew at mach 3 and needed a titanium body that got extremely hot at those speeds.

I just saw a mobile video showing something in level flight at speed of Mach 5-6 or more.
Maybe it was Santa Claus or a flying saucer.
