Esta arma hipersónica vuela a Mach 8: unos 9800 kilómetros por hora


The last time the army American tried to make fly a hypersonic weapon, encountered a small problem in how this came out of their monitors. It has now become to repeat the experiment, and this time everything went according to plan.


In April, the weapon was being developed by DARPA, but this technology has now been at the hands of the United States Navy .U.S., whom they have made it 3860 kilometres in only twenty minutes. And there's more: it is estimated that the maximum speed that can reach is a Mach 20, i.e. between 24000 and 25000 km/h, which would attack any point on Earth in less than 30 minutes.


The idea that the weapon has been developed is that it can destroy the enemy before that this has a chance to respond, and by the way, if someone is asked if nuclear, fortunately isn't, simply is damnably fast.


If you will start to be manufactured have not yet been confirmed, but I do not think that someone bother tell us where it is.
