New Nuclear Bomb Delivery System: Hypersonic Missiles Made in Russia and China

 Next Move: U.S. to play catch up with billions more in the same R&D

Need something scary for today – okay – well, how about hypersonic nuclear missiles and assorted other weapons?

Background to Date: Researchers and Engineers at the Rand Corporation explain that a hypersonic weapon is a missile that travels at Mach 5 or higher, which is at least five times faster than the speed of sound, and that means in simple terms, it can travel about one mile per second.

Speed is the new stealth missiles are something that both Russia and China are aggressively pursuing and we have watched them test those capabilities – so says our top nuclear General (Air Force General John Hyten, Commander, U. S. Strategic Command). He would be the one who would launch our own nuclear missiles if so ordered during an attack, or to preemptively stop an attack.

My input for what it’s worth: Add this with the on-going pressure from North Korea and Trump’s sustained tit-for-tat back and forth nuclear war talk is unnerving to say the least.

So, what’s the next step – um choices are slim-to-none appear to be: (1) total disarmament of all nuclear weapons (2) certainly a sustained effort for nuclear non-proliferation of existing weapons, or in the end, (3) or I guess, all-out nuclear war – then the question is who goes first and who survives? Who goes first is the wild card – who survives? Probably no one on Earth – dramatic – yes, it is but so is nuclear war on a grand scale in incomprehensible.

The focus now that this is more public knowledge shifts to Trump and our R&D to play catch-up. So, stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by.
