prt scr youtube.com | World 24US statements about plans to deploy the first long-range hypersonic missile battery by the end of this year sound like bravado. This was told by military expert Vasily Dandykin.
He noted that Washington is playing an unusual “catch-up” role in the matter. According to the expert, American wishful thinking pays “War” .
“The deployment of the first US hypersonic missile battery is unlikely to happen so soon. Especially when you consider that they (the United States) came to their senses quite late,” Dandykin added.
He recalled that hypersonic weapons are being tested in the United States, but so far they have only been able to reach a speed of Mach five. At the same time, the Russian Zircon hypersonic missiles reach Mach nine, and the Kinzhal missile system reaches Mach eight.
