nice

So who'd they steal it from this time?

>>34243205
Sorry, but this is an AAM.

Even then, a hypersonic AShm with air breathing ramjet or scramjet would fly too low for the exoatmospheric SM-3 to intercept.

You better keep spamming them SM-6 and hope that a hit connects.

>>34243218
China is arguably a world leader in ramjet engine design and production.

Ramjet engines are quite simple compared to turbofans and do not require the complex metallurgy for the superalloys used in the compressor blades. Ramjet engines, especially for missiles, are single use anyway and do not need to last.

China already has a wide array of ramjet powered missiles. Only that this here is a new solid fuel variable flow ramjet that enhances the reliability and engagement envelopes of existing ramjet missiles.

that's nice Chang

>>34243186
Impressive. Only with the will of a mighty nation lead by great and brilliant leaders could such a monumental achievement occur. The age of America and its imperial aspirations is over. This new century will be an age of peace and wealth brought to the world by China!

>>34243312
That can't be real.

>>34243373
it's real

It strikes me as foolish to underestimate them when we seem to struggle with our own hypersonics

>>34243186
>Anounce military breakthrough
>Only build a hand full of it

That's todays China.

>>34243348
Good. The Chinese are very tolerant; Trump plans to build a great wall, but look at China; not a great wall to be seen.

tho, is perfectly compatible with this >>34243312

In related news, Dear Leader, who was born on top of a mountain under a double rainbow and discovered his ability to fly at age ten, played a perfect round of gold today, just going to show the strength and majesty of our dead leader.

No memes here. Just look at pic related.

Ramjet engines are literally the simplest shit ever.
Problem is just that you need another engine to take off and achieve the velocities needed for the ramjet. And for a missile, an ordinary rocket booster is enough.

What China did here is to make a variable thrust ramjet, which is quite new, as conventional ramjets only know two settings: On and Off (when it breaks).

>>34243186
Well, looks like America needs them stealth tankers and AWACS badly.

But then, the Chinese have their near space anti stealth UAVs...

>>34243222
i'll settle for the railguns and megawatt lasers that will be online by the time their missile is actually in production.

>>34243629

>>34243186
tl:dr China will have a missile Meteor/AMRAAM-D equivalent

>>34244811
PL-15 is already their AMRAAM-D.

This will be their Meteor.

>>34244826
PL-15 is an AMRAAM-C/R-77 equivalent

>For that reason, the PLA has to engage in constant “political work” at the expense of training for combat. This means that 30 to 40 percent of an officer’s career (or roughly 15 hours per 40-hour work week) is wasted studying CCP propaganda, singing patriotic songs, and conducting small group discussions on Marxist-Leninist theory. And when PLA officers do train, it is almost always a cautious affair that rarely involves risky (i.e., realistic) training scenarios.


>A few minor border scraps aside, the PLA hasn’t seen real combat since the Korean War. This appears to be a major factor leading it to act so brazenly in the East and South China Seas. Indeed, China’s navy now appears to be itching for a fight anywhere it can find one. Experienced combat veterans almost never act this way. Indeed, history shows that military commanders that have gone to war are significantly less hawkish than their inexperienced counterparts. Lacking the somber wisdom that comes from combat experience, today’s PLA is all hawk and no dove.

>>34243629
US just made a similar engine, and the US one is less likely to be fake.

Maybe the Chinese are banking on being able to copy the American one and sell it?

>>34244845
>The Chinese military is dangerous in another way as well. Recognizing that it will never be able to compete with the U.S. and its allies using traditional methods of war fighting, the PLA has turned to unconventional “asymmetric” first-strike weapons and capabilities to make up for its lack of conventional firepower, professionalism and experience. These weapons include more than 1,600 offensive ballistic and cruise missiles, whose very nature is so strategically destabilizing that the U.S. and Russia decided to outlaw them with the INF Treaty some 25 years ago.

>>34244873
>In concert with its strategic missile forces, China has also developed a broad array of space weapons designed to destroy satellites used to verify arms control treaties, provide military communications, and warn of enemy attacks. China has also built the world’s largest army of cyber warriors, and the planet’s second largest fleet of drones, to exploit areas where the U.S. and its allies are under-defended. All of these capabilities make it more likely that China could one day be tempted to start a war, and none come with any built in escalation control.

into the trash it goes

>>34244845
I'm really skeptical of what this guy is selling me when he refers to the Sino-Vietnamese War as being one of the "light border scraps" China was involved in since Korea. Over 100,000 chinese soldiers died.

>>34244845
>>34245796
Honestly I get the impression that the "expert" has never even HEARD of the Sino-Vietnamese war, and is just referring to the minor scuffles with the Indians, Filipinos, Soviets, and Taiwanese

Not really, that would be the pulse jet. So simple that we had a pulse jet powered scooter at university.

LockMart

>>34243591
The US has no problems as far as hypersonics go, the X-51 program was successfully concluded and the data gathered is being applied in the HSSW.
How the HSSW is progressing is unknown as it is very hush hush about the whole deal.
It is suspicious that china only managed to unfuck their missile after that the US got their hypersonic vehicle to work.

>>34244839
USAF General Carlisle doesn't agree.

PL-15 outranges the AMRAAM-D by large.

>>34243228

Oh yeah? NUH UH

Everything china says is fake, and their stuff is all broken and they are hiding it. Only the US military has functional equipment.

Thats nice sweety, meanwhile the USA will have a hypersonic SR-72 made public in 2020.

https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/06/lockheed-will-build-and-fly-sr-72-mach-6-prototype-in-the-early-2020s.html

>>34247864
So it will take the US 3 years to rip off China's design?

>>34247872

China is building one for a missile, the USA has an airplane.

>>34246751
Which model of AMRAAM did he specify in his gib monies testimony?

What is the range of the PL-15, Meteor and AMRAAM-D?

>>34247879
makes sense, considering the US used airplanes to demolish their own buildings.

Been in service for over a decade.

The high speed strike weapon (HSSW) based on X-51 technology will fly in 2020.

China will have directed-energy interception systems before then.

so they're where we were at five years ago

>>34248050

America already has them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Weapon_System

>The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS[1] is a directed-energy weapon developed by the United States Navy. The weapon was installed on USS Ponce for field testing in 2014. In December 2014, the United States Navy reported that the LaWS system worked perfectly, and that the commander of the Ponce is authorized to use the system as a defensive weapon.[2]

Truly remarkable.

A country that can create such an engineering and military marvel has truly earned the right to call themselves a world power. With Americas power waning by the day, it is truly awe inspiring to see another, much more worthy nation rise to its rightful place. China's continued, uninterrupted expansion is impressive. Nothing like this has ever been seen. We are living in great times to see such a mighty nation emerge on a world scale again. Only with the strength of a unified people and brilliant leaders has such an event been able to take place. world peace will finally be possible now that capitalist imperialists have been shown their error, and the vanguard of that peace is China!

They lost 1,350,000 in Korea, with a population of 600million. 100,000 is a small loss for them.
