USA Successfully Tests Its New Hypersonic Weapon

It will be used in the defense and attack field of developed countries. weaponry The work continues unabated from the past to the present. The rapid development of technology also accelerates this process. Currently, these developed countries are hypersonic weapons continues to work in the field.

in the past months Russia, Tsircon (Zircon) He said he had successfully tested his hypersonic missile. now United States (USA)is before us with its hypersonic missile, which it successfully tested last week. The US test is the first successful test in this class of weapons since 2013, the Pentagon says.

Traveling at about 6,200 km per hour:

Developed by Raytheon, the missile was dropped from an aircraft during testing and exceeded the speed of sound with rocket thrusters just seconds later. After that ‘scramjet‘ The second engine started and accelerated the missile to hypersonic speed. The missile tested by the USA exactly 5 times faster. If you want to visualize this speed in your mind, approximately 1.6km per second You may think you are on your way.

The engine we are talking about is called scramjet, the air through which the missile passes during high speed. by mixing with fuel It operates at supersonic speeds for a long time. According to the statements of the authorities, these missiles can be deployed in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, thanks to their high speed and maneuverability. timely detection to be able to it will be quite difficult.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, which they tested in July Tsircon that its missile is invincible and that anywhere in the world has no rival had said. The difference between the two hypersonic weapons is that the Tsircon was launched by ship. We do not know what kind of technologies other countries will come up with in the field of hypersonic weapons, but it is obvious that they have invested heavily in this field.
