Återigen. Ingen önskar sig ett kärnvapenkrig. Däremot så gäller inte MAD-doktrinen längre, då Ryssland har styrbara hypersoniska missiler, men inte USA. Gällande USA:s hangarfartyg. Totalt obsoleta, och kan destrueras med en enda konventionell hypersonisk missil. USA kan inte skjuta ner dessa i dagsläget.
Why I believe that Avangard is an elaborate piece of propaganda
It is simply impossible for something to travel at the speed of an ICBM and be capable of ‘sharp, evasive maneuvers’
The outer surface of Avangard heats up to 2,000 degrees. Some officials have said that with this temperature a meltdown isn’t the only possible negative thing. With temperatures like that, I’ve seen suggestions that it can disrupt the navigation systems of the device. As Russia has a history of low-quality military technology proven in stunning colours in the invasion of Ukraine, I would expect the US to find a way around this problem (even then LRHW moves at a much slower speed), but not Russia
The claims that it cannot be shot down are also disputed. Gliding results in a slower speed at re-entry than powered flight. The Aegis system has recently intercepted ICBMs. As we’ve established that Avangard is not capable of sharp, evasive maneuvers, I see no reason why Aegis, THAAD, Shy Sabre and others wouldn’t be able to blast the HGV out of the sky
The claims that it will be a game-changer for Russian warfare and leave no chance for the US are widely disputed
What does this mean? In my eyes it basically means Russia has invented a fast missile which will not change much. They should have rather gone for an air-mounted HGV, that would at least be understandable
Kinzhal
Kinzhal is another hyped-up missile allegedly intended to overcome any known anti-missile system the US has to strike at air carriers. It is capable of Mach 10+ according to reports. For reasons discussed above I do not buy into the hype of this weapon, even if it follows an unusual trajectory. Particularly since it is a stitched together version of components dating back to the Soviet era. And, as others have pointed out, there are claims that Kinzhal will descend to 10 meters above sea level from the stratosphere before it strikes. Doing so will massively deplete its velocity and make it extremely vulnerable to US anti sea-skimming missiles
