How The U.S. Fell Behind In Hypersonic Technology

- Hypersonic air travel is anything that travels at Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound. The U.S. was once a leader in developing supersonic and hypersonic technology, but has taken "our foot off the gas," according to Mark Lewis, executive director of the National Defense Industrial Association's Emerging Technologies Institute.
Watch the video to find out more about how the U.S. fell behind Russia, China and possibly North Korea, and how we're spending billions to catch up.
Hypersonic air travel, for both military and commercial use, could be here within the decade.
The $770 billion National Defense Authorization Act signed into law Tuesday calls for investing billions into hypersonic research and development, making them a top priority for Washington. The next step is congressional approval to allocate the money for the technology to the Pentagon.
“If you are traveling at hypersonic speeds, you’re, you’re going more than a mile per second,” said Mark Lewis, executive director of the National Defense Industrial Association’s Emerging Technologies Institute. “That’s important for military applications. It could have commercial applications. It could also open up new, new ways of reaching space.”
Hypersonic is anything traveling above Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound. That’s roughly 3,800 mph. At those speeds, commercial planes could travel from New York to London in under two hours.
Significant hypersonic research and development in recent years have highlighted its promising opportunity, but it’s also shed light on its destructive potential. According to Rand Corp., hypersonic technology creates a new class of threat that could change the nature of warfare.
“There truly is a sense of concern that we are in a race,” said Lewis, who is a former director at the Department of Defense. “We took our foot off the gas. … There are other nations, peer competitors, who are investing very, very heavily in hypersonics.”
China, Russia and now North Korea all claim to have developed and successfully tested hypersonic missiles. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles that follow a set trajectory after launch, hypersonic weapons are maneuverable in flight, incredibly fast and hard to detect.
The U.S. doesn’t have operational hypersonic missiles yet, but it’s a top priority for Washington. According to the Government Accountability Office, funding for hypersonic research increased by 740% between 2015 and 2020. The latest defense budget alone increased funding by 20%.
“It’s truly a bipartisan issue,” said Lewis.
The DOD is gathering data across multiple agencies, industry leaders and academia as it races to fast-track production on its first hypersonic missile by September 2022.
“We don’t want to just match them missile for missile, but introduce new capabilities of transportation capabilities, sensor capabilities. And I’m seeing that play out,” Lewis told CNBC.

How The U.S. Fell Behind In Hypersonic Technology
"Journalist" : what do you think?
Raytheon CEO : I think i need more money
Money does make the world go round.
@@ericlane3256 eventually it becomes worthless
You know what would make any flight "feel" hypersonic, if you didn't have to go through security & check in for 2-3 hours
Thanks Osama 🙄
@@youngbuck12 osama wanted to cause inconvenience for the west and he technically won.
Turned an entire civilization into whimps untrusting of each other.
You mad ?
Security would take longer than the flight lol
But you know why this is the way that it is, right?
When you spend more than any other country and still lack behind, the money is not the problem.
The problem is the people who pocketed the money. We all knew about that since President Eisenhower but couldn't do a thing. No politicians dare to challenge the system. I think President Kennedy tried but paid the ultimate price with his ..........
@@benthekeeshond545 you hit the nail on the head with this one.
Kennedy tried to reverse the situation
and
take back the power from the military complex.
The U.S. is not falling behind, though. Hypersonic missiles will be rendered useless by directed energy weapons, which is what we've been focusing on. This is nothing more than propaganda meant to increase the defense budget. Our military just happens to focus on other areas.
@@TheTrueUSPatriot
I heard this year US is going to release a 100 kw laser, but I don't know if it can track and destroy hypersonic missiles.
meh ; if you had fallen behind you would'nt be advertizing your strategic failures on mainstream media. You're going to be alright ,just stop starting wars everywhere please.
0:35 "Russia or China, possibly experimenting with hypersonic technology" Russia already have hypersonic rockets in service. Wake up.
If you believe russian state media then sure they do.
@@oBCHANo If you believe american state media then sure they don't.
@@bobyford8051 guess you believe in every putins words smh
Zircons aren’t really “in service”. They produced some, but the missile is still in testing and hasn’t yet reached IOC.
Not yet. there are some but not full scale production.
How did the US fall behind in hypersonic technology?
Answer: By spending 5 trillion dollars on Iraq and Afghanistan that's how
Yup
Well Us also took most of the resources and hold the money that belong to Afghan normal people. I guess resources they took covered most of the cost the spent
To be more precise, we didn’t spend that money “on” those countries, but rather on destroying them.
@@nirajshrestha5621 yes but that's all going to corrupts hand.not people but defend budgets are people mony.
No. The USA has lost a scientific and engineering school. Science is based on industry, and in the USA 80% of GDP is financial services. The USA prints dollars, issues treasuries, mortgage bonds. Over the past 10 years, the entire growth of the economy is an increase in the value of the stock market as a result of quantitative easing. And the electronics industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Boeing design center moved to Moscow and makes 70% of all components for aircraft there. Ford and General Motors in Mexico and Canada assemble cars from Japanese components on universal Japanese platforms.
Having an annual defence budget of $750 billion apparently isn't enough to satisfy the beast.
With capitalism being what it is, most of that is pocketed

Politicians are lawyers that go from corporate boards to politics back to corporate boards, back to politics-while you’re not taught civics or law as a prerequisite, & the senate is full of power driven old men, that could have retired after a term and made 6 figures for life. Greedy for organs to stay alive, while the young people begging to lick their boots are greedy for money
With the amount of money we’re spending we have no excuse for falling behind.
You do because money spent in the US =/= money spent in China. Power purchasing parity must be factored in AKA a single US army soldiers pay could pay 5-8 Russian or Chinese soldiers.
A shipyard in Shanghai will make the same ship but for much less money than in Virginia.
Add on that the maintenance the US needs while China doesn’t have anything to maintain yet.
that's the price of having the strongest army in the world.
@Brent Morrison America is the world police, America makes sure peace exists if it wasn't for America war would still exist in the middle east. except for Yemen of course, america have contributed a lot of peace in the world. america deserve noble peace price.
US taxpayers are getting robbed blind, it's ridiculous.
Dont worry, there are many other things USA is falling behind.
The only country that possesses hypersonic missiles deployed just used them in war for the first time in history 2 days ago.
Those missile defeat the entire purpose of what a hypersonic missile does over a conventional ballistics rocket. It flies on a fixes path which allows it to be intercepted by defenses. We're designing maneuverable hypersonic missiles that will disguise their trajectory until the last second and evade missile defenses. It was just a show of power "hey look at us were threatening we have old soviet area technology we slapped together and called it a hypersonic missile"
@Travis Kern I keep what i said and i reject any oppinion of western dumbed down clows.
@@Smashachu they used hypersonic to target an underground depot unreachable by conventional missiles. They arent stupid to throw that stuff around
In other words, defense contractors want more money.
shhh, shh NO! That's not it.
YOU need more protection.
Give me contract... I will give you hypersonic Weapons...
No. They want to give you more FREEDOM.
This is real, not a “mineshaft gap” moment. Budgets aren’t going up, money is just being reallocated, which has been made a lot easier now that Afghanistan isn’t a problem anymore.
stupid of them because if us goes down they will to no matter who wins. If we were under china they woudn't have as much freedom orpay or positions
The fact that the U.S. is falling behind in more and more high-tech areas is due to rampant corruption. The U.S. has the world's most expensive health care system and one of the worst. The U.S. spends the most on defense, but other countries use their resources more efficiently.
Won't someone think of the contractors?!
No they are simply allocating military budget into other sectors lol they will be the first to have a sixth gen fighter in a couple years while the closest country (an ally UK) is 12 years behind
A military that is supplied by privately owned corporations is bound to have extra cost due to bureaucracy.
@Ilhan Abdullahi Omar uhh no lol
Not exactly corruption, but lack of focus, stemming from fighting insurgency for so long. key technologies are all over the place but no one cared to focus on building hypersonic missiles until recent years
I remember all the times in US History, since the 50s when the US allegedly "..fell behind.." in some defense technology or another. The first one was the nuclear "missile gap" with the Soviet Union in the Eisenhower presidency. It was indeed a huge gap...in favor of the US.
All these "falling behinds" are usually early attempts at an arms race in the particular technology, you know, huge defense spending increases.
I'm pretty sure that the hypersonics that our peers have developed are too large to mount conventional warheads, meaning that they are going to be limited to being used for nuclear weapons. Which means that, realistically, they are pointless. This is just an answer to the US's THAAD missile shield.

@@aka_pierre Correct. They are in response to the US missile shield in an attempt to maintain MAD. Else the US could nuke both China and Russia and shoot down all their replying nukes, making nuclear war a viable option for victory.

Except there are UFOs capable of shutting down nuclear power. There's that to worry about.
@@gabemendoza1052 exactly and no government are claiming those UFOs who knows what they are capable of
For those who are interested, the latest development of Chinese Hypersonic Technology: scientists have invented a cooling mechanism of infrared sensors which allow them to operate under the immense heat of hypersonic flight. Imagine a heat-seeking hypersonic AA missile or dual guidance anti-CV ballistic missile, could be a game changer.
seems sketch how would anything possible get rid of the plasma sheathing on the missle?
Obama didn't do nothing for our military! Biden is the same!
Not actually real. HGVs have plasma sheathing which makes IR impossible, hence why HGVs like the Chinese DF-21D have to decelerate in their terminal phase to supersonic speeds in order for them to use terminal guidance.
@@Sambo169 if Obama didn't do nothing then that means that he did do something, at least he got Bin Laden under his watch and he was big on taking out Targets in Afghanistan with drones
Turning circle: two continents.
I think we need to increase our military budget again next year because apparently, $768 billion isn’t enough.
Until you go bankrupt like the romans.
libs keep increasing military budget and then say "how come we can't afford woke social spending bill when we spend 768b on military?" lul
Socialism for the contractors which could be more efficient, but at least defense has a clear output not a fleeting feeling of spoiled satisfaction
@@hangender left, right, media…..they are all owned by the military industrial complex.

The US already has operational hypersonic missile systems while Russia is still quietly hiding the failures of their non-operational offensive hypersonic missile system. Putin should just go back to invading sovereign countries on Russia's border while crying about needing security guarantees (==sovereignity) for Russia. What a clown.
I have a friend who started his PhD at 23 2 years ago fully paid for and this is what he works on and when China and Russia announced they had it, it was very alarming
Your friend is going to be working a lot of overtime for the next few months considering Russia just used a hypersonic missile on a Ukrainian ammunition’s depot.
@@kennethg374 I think that USA doesnt lack the knowledge for hypersonic, but DoD is late in the game for like 2 decades. Takes time from lab prototypes to combat vehicles to arm them with hypersonic. US announced first land based systems in late 23, in 2025 on ships and 2028 on subs. This was strategic mistake of DoD and goverment. There 2 major issues with hypersonic. Materials that can withstand those extreme heat and manuvearing at those extreme speed. But anyhow I think that issue now for US and Russia and China is not hypersonic, US lags but it Will eventually get them but it is the question of space weapon... And I can only presume that this is US goverment major worry, cause Russia and China are probably already into that well ahead
@@milanradovanovic3693 2 decades is a minimum.. it's too late to recover it. This is very alarming.
@@thierrymartin997 I mean China catched up to the U.S which arguably is more than 20 years behind. The U.S can do what China has been doing since forever... Steal their technology, for once they have something worthwhile to steal other than cheap knockoffs.
@@milanradovanovic3693 The Russian don't use very high temperature material. This another technology undermining by r US intelligence. The guy who resolved what made the US stopping the research, was also undermining by his country . Russia under Soviet regime was the country which have continued to investigate this technology because the man in charge at the research board was the one who in the 60 discovered the impossibility. . Therefore when the publication was published in 1983. , The USA was under a former Hollywood cowboy just good enough to announced a star Wars military research, to stress the Kremlin. But the Soviets saw with the publication a very good opportunity to invest. When in the 90 the USA was the number one in the world,. The objective to make a Star Wars was cancelled. When Putin was elected he has to face a poor country to rebuilt. No way to invest the amount of US military budget.to build a huge arsenal. In fact from old weapons Russia could only update with some modifications. Of course new material were discovered and the computing power was able to compute in order to master the next technology Putin announced in 2018. Trump who met Putin understood Russia was not a second class country in weapons. He eventually increased the budget to new technology. But it takes a decade to find a new approach. So far the MHD was used to reduce fuselage visibility on radar. The hypersonic missile was not a priority because the existence of some hypersonic missiles like patriot was enough cast to destroy a attach made from competitive weapons. For few seconds the missile can teach 6000km/h at High altitude. The Russian MHD used a totally different approach using highly magnetic field from solid combustible with Cesium gas . Then a special matrix electrical circuit around the fuselage organised the distribution of the magnetic field used to constrain the ionised gas covering the missile as shown on video in Ukraine showing hypersonic missile with gloomy aspects flying at low altitude . This technology make it possible to fly at 14000 km/h at sea level. But the most serious concern is able to fly up to 2000 miles at 12000km/h and able to destroy an aircraft carrier with one shot .All the Navy fleet can be destroyed today/!!! And this technology is as well used under water. The USA can sell weapons to Ukraine but this will not charge the issue of the conflict. Biden has realised Ukraine is lost. NATO is over whatever the Occidental press is telling because no US soldiers will take part of this regional war. Europe has no army excepted France with only 80000 soldiers. The others armies have no military brains because Washington decides always for them. . Therefore Biden is trying to move forward in the Asia region. His mistake is to defend a territory belonging to China against China. China has the hypersonic technology too. This is Very bad period just after the Covid to push Zelensky to declare an attach against russophones in Ukraine . The military forces are not prepared to fight against missiles capable to destroy the Navy in minutes because no weapons can't stop them....
Hopefully we increase the budget to about 3 trillion dollars. Thats for American security. Printer goes Brrrrrrrrrr
Or you get raided by your own military to pay for jobs in the defense sector..
yeah to keep them bellies full
>spends hundreds of billions of dollars on military
>still falling behind other nations spending a fraction of the money
if calculated from PPP and R&D, it is likely that China has a larger budget than the US, China's budget doesn't include R&D.
Too much spent on Wars and all the equipment stupid US leaves behind.
Biden says... huh?
@@anomalianomali5080 Chian R&D budget is $378 billion. Military budget is $252 billion. That adds up to $630 billion. Still significantly less than the US and the US don't include of its R&D funding in their military budget. if it did it would be in the trillions.
American tax payer gets ripped off big time! Everything all the the way down to gloves are more expensive because these companies charge what they want and the government just pays it.
As a whole we’re not falling behind, but in certain areas like Cyber and hypersonic, yes we are.
@@ericlane3256 also AI, robotics, anti ship and anti air missiles. Main battle tanks (if Russia can afford it. It's a lot more areas and more key areas than you think.
Had Bush-the -Lesser not pulled out from all arms control agreements on nuclear weapons as Russia practically begged them not to do, Russia would not have had to protect itself by developing hypersonic weapons. They now lead the world in this research with a defense budget 1/20th as large as the US.
Because china was already having all kind of arsenal. So it doesnt make sense to stay when your one foe is soo advanced
@@tarjotdhanoa7367 Is it Chinese fault when US is threatening China with 25x more nuclear weapons plus missile defense systems? Did China put its military bases next to US and armed them with missile defense systems?
@@Airdrifting being prepared for a war is the best way to stop the war from happening and that's what usa have been doing to china and that's what is happening between Russia and usa. China is controlling south china sea , Tibet. And making African countries into debt trap just Britishers did in colonial era . And usa is worried about china because of Taiwan. Because China wants to invade it. China occupied Hong Kong completely and now people are loosing their freedom . If you think china is that good then why don't you start living in China and come up with some experience after a decade or so
Russia spends much more on defense than the public numbers suggest.
The Evil democrats completely ignored China!! I was living in Asia 15 years ago. The news there already reported that china built an air tunnel to test and build their hypersonic weapons. Of course, the USA did nothing. The US is always late and waits until it falls behind! 15 years ago, china has already begun building on the islands in South China seas. Of course , no one did nothing and the Evil USA liberal news refuses to report it!!
Weird that CNBC would have defense industry advertisers and then fear monger the public about how we need a new arms race with Russia and China. Didn't see that one coming. Cheers to the journalist using the word "nucular" in honor of GW.
There is a whole lot of war mongering going on right now and most people don't see it. These companies will not stop until they have war, a war them or their family will not be fighting and dying in.
lol, yes.
The warmongering elites control not only most of the mainstream media, social media, etc. information platforms, but they also control all those so-called NGOs including so many “human rights” groups. They keep pushing for propaganda to prepare the general public for more wars... 💁♂️
For example, the most recent tension with China is based on the accusation of “genocide”. But the very first organization who came up with the “one million in the concentration camps” accusation, is a US-funded group called “World Uyghur Congress”. The chairman of this group was a former employee of Radio Free Asia, another propaganda outlet funded by the US government. The World Uyghur Congress got all their funding from NED (a CIA civilian arm who took over the funding operations), you can find the funding receipt on the NED website 🤦♂️.
It did not stop there. A German immigrant, (Adrian Zenz) from another US-funded group “Victims of Communism” came up with the “genocide”, “mass r @pe”, “mass sterilization”, etc. accusations. He claims he was sent by God to destroy CCP. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Then the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) came up with the so-called satellite images of “concentration camps”... ASPI is entirely funded by the US arms industry. The 300+ “camps” were really just schools, warehouses, prisons, etc. And the one who found them was a part-time 19-year-old...using Google earth 💩

US has a bloated system, the fact we have the largest by far military budget yet can't compete with countries with far lower budgets means we need to get a hold of our costs and graft built into the defense industry. Throwing more money into hypersonic research is all they can do right now, but shouldn't be the case.
I watch american documentary during 60' america has develop Hypersonic missile to defend their nuclear Sile for intercepting missile attack. But the project being scrapped because it's violated the defence deal between 2 super power. So I think USA is the first one who posses hypersonic missile
It's much easier and less expensive to find solutions to sophisticated weapons systems than to be the leader in innovation. Just look up the technology race in the battle of the Atlantic, the Germans would come up with an ingenious new weapon and the British would counter it by finding the flaw in the system. It's the same with any complex weapon such as the US missile defense.
Alot of the US military budget is going to veterans etc, stuff that other countries dont have so the difference is lower then what official records says.
the arms service comittee needs to either go. Or politicians need to be banned from trading stocks. There's been many many cases of politicians on this committee not approving defense bills and proposals unless the bill benefits their constituents, and this leads to rising costs. These politicians literally pick who wins million/billion dollar contracts, and they get to trade stocks knowing this information before anyone else
China actually has a comparable military budget when adjusted by PPP and factoring in costs that it purposefully leaves out to obfuscate its real spending. Also, China/Russia are only ahead in those few categories. That’s it.
When US does it it's all okay but when someone else does it it's very alarming 😒
BUT as long as they are "alarmed" at others, it is okay.
When they are alarmed at their own problems, then its bad for the rest of the world
because they will start fixing those problems.
I think the CEO of a weapons company always will say " We are behind .. THe goverment need to invest more"

The United States 2022 defense budget was $768 billion, $53 billion more than the President requested. The armed forces of the USA has a larger budget than the other top 10 militaries on earth combined. Not to mention that most of these other great militaries are our direct military allies. Apart from China and Russia every top military spender is our friend. When speaking about China, it is us who surround them and their precious ports with dozens of military bases (ie Japan, South Korea, Guam, Philippines, Vietnam, ect.), not the other way around. And we haven't even mentioned the trillions the Pentagon admits cannot be accounted for over the last couple of decades....
Whats more is that USA has also been working on hypersonic technology for over 40 years, with billions invested in research at the end of the cold war. The USA is clearly way more ahead than they would like to admit, in order to maintain the tactical advantage of surprise.
Do not listen to the beating drums of war. They will begin to bang incessantly and consistently across all media channels. They will beg you to support a vast and unsustainable standing army and convince you with paranoia and fear. So we, the citizens of the wealthiest nation of history, continue to put up with crumbling roads, corrupted healthcare and a sweeping housing crisis. America is a nation of vast resources, it can absolutely afford universal healthcare and affordable homes. It's just about how we are allocating our immense wealth. We do not need to spend billions more on contracts for weapons we created in the 80's....

"GAPS" have a tendency to get filled with still more tax dollars, usually when the basic research has already been bought and paid for in previous congressional appropriations. Promoting the existence of a "GAP" helps to further pad corporate profits, and executive salaries and bonuses. Congressional leaders, whose districts/states invariably are home to industries standing to gain from programme contracts, also gain from the votes that result from whatever jobs are created.

Even if we could get to the speed the problems we would face would be a bigger challenge than getting up to that speed. For example a grain of space dust hits it and it will explore the whole craft simply because the amount of energy that is being created. I find this stuff super interesting.
Gotta wonder what that nearly trillion dollars spent a year goes to when smaller militarizes are producing deadlier weapons
When you have hundreds of foreign bases and a bloated administrative base, that costs hundreds of billions of dollars, it’s no surprise.
No one has the global reach with the options the US military has from surveillance to targeted disabling of equipment/facility to complete mass annihilation. These missiles are only one of the menu of options.
If you really think the US is behind then you're stupid. You really think the works of the secret military research facilities would be announced here.

Hypersonic airliners would be great. But seriously, the focus should be on 2 things. quicker boarding process, and supersonic jets. a mach 2 airliner is far easier to build, then a mach 5+. You would cut the flight time in half, and the boarding process should be, if I have a 2pm flight departure, I arrive 15-20 minutes early, check in bag, walk through a super quick scanner, and I'm on the plane.
We can only achieve that with CIA knowing everything about us and coordinate with TSA. We need AI systems to hunt the terrorist for us just like China.
Sadly, all those Nazi rocket scientists from WW2 are all dead, the poached Soviet rocket scientists from the cold war era are all retired, and USA could not poach Russian nor Chinese rocket scientists...
Yet the free market in the US has more advanced rockets than China and Russia combined. What do you think the US has in it's arsenal after spending $1 Trillion per year for the last 20 years on military technology and national defense? The US was splitting uranium atoms to vaporize entire cities in the 1940s when people were debating whether to convert from riding a horse to buying a Ford Model T. I promise, they have things you can't even imagine. Hypersonic missiles are almost definitely obsolete to the US government.
@@enthused7591 thank you. Part of me thinks that this public talk on the lack of this technology is just another layer to our cloak and dagger secrecy. Hell, magnetically accelerated cannons release rounds going hypersonic and then there is also our laser tech.
US does not need other scientists. It drove the USSR into the ground with better tech, the CCP is another USSR. A colossus with feet of clay.
It's because the CIA and FBI agents racistly targeted and harassed top Chinese/American scientists acusing them of spying charges. It was obviously a typical racist thing to do. They all went back to China instead. One top Chinese American scientist from NASA was so peed off by his harassment that he went to China and became the lead scientist for the hypersonics program in China.

The Lockheed F-117 flew secretly for 7 years before being revealed to the public. In fact, it was revealed only after it was used in combat in the invasion of Panama. The US likely has some surprises up their sleeve. The revealing of hypersonics by Russia served a political purpose, and the US has no similar need for publicity. The X-15 was a piloted hypersonic plane the US flew in the 1960's. We also have a hypersonic glide vehicle. It's called the space shuttle and it glided, with people aboard, at 17,000 miles per hour. We will, I am sure, be able to produce hypersonic missiles. However, it is more important to produce hypersonic missile defenses. we have no proof of the accuracy of Russian or Chinese hypersonic missiles. In addition, hypersonic or not, they have to be able to find and target our ships. In this regard, we do not know they are capable of hitting moving vessels traveling in thousands or tens of thousands of square miles of open ocean. The Russians have had supersonic missiles for years, faster than ours, but we were not worried then. Additionally, we have many thousands more long range non-nuclear missiles than Russia or China. Maybe our military knows things they are not telling us? Also, look at the actual military incompetence of the Russians in their invasion of Ukraine. They will unfortunately likely succeed eventually by killing untold number of civilians. Contrast that to the swift action against Iraq in the first and second Gulf wars. Also the rapid removal of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Yes, I know, we ran away, but the precision and effectiveness of the US military all those years ago was better than the Russians today. Could it be that they are simply not as good?

Uhm. "Air molecules are not being ripped appart" - simply they can't move away fast enough before pressure compresses them enough to heat themselves and pressing body. As for hypersonic - every spacecraft and ICBM and MIRV is hypersonic.
the difference is, flying hypersonic in low altitude is much more difficult for radar to detect, and more difficult to intercept
Hyper sonic missiles doesn't pass the ozone layer (troposphere) it reaches "closely" enough to the tip then Launch its secondary missiles remotely to its target. Quickly "enough" then a nuclear missiles because when a nuclear missiles passes the ozone layers making a big U-turn the satellite will/"if" detect it earlier.

Same people who say that "Elon Musk is building tunnels using rocket technology" xD
A Russian here. 'Air molecules' is wonderful!
The chief characteristic of hypersonic aerodynamics is that the temperature of the flow is so great that the chemistry of the diatomic molecules of the air must be considered. At low hypersonic speeds, the molecular bonds vibrate, which changes the magnitude of the forces generated by the air on the aircraft. At high hypersonic speeds, the molecules break apart producing an electrically charged plasma around the aircraft.
This is probably the source for the text, by NASA
@@my3bikaht88 'Diatomic molecules of the air' is very different from 'the air molecules'.

The answer is because it wasn't a priority. We've had the capabilities for decades, but there was no need for them. The U.S Military has been developing Hypersonic missiles for a few years now.
How have we had the capabilities? We only just got a successful hypersonic booster motor test in October.

"Russian patent number *****09 relates to the field of rocket technology, and more specifically to hypersonic cruise missiles equipped with a hypersonic ramjet engine. The invention describes a method of application and device hypersonic cruise missile (CRPD), allowing to solve the problem of performing a combat mission to destroy ground and surface targets of such a missile. The described invention is designed to maximize the combat potential of the CMP with the scramjet. The design mode for the scramjet are high-altitude cruise conditions while maintaining the estimated cruise speed, and the need to reduce the altitude and flight speed creates difficult technical problems due to the fact that: an engine designed to perform a hypersonic mid-flight at high altitude is not able to continue to work at low-altitude trajectory sections associated with a decrease in the flight number M, hence, the rocket must approach the ground or surface target with an inactive engine; characteristics of sustainability and controllability of CRPD with inactive scramjet significantly deteriorate, loss of stability becomes possible; there is also a danger of destruction of the scramjet design due to the increase in pressure in the flow part of the engine while reducing the CMP from the march height before hitting the target."
Thank you for the info on this.
Even if Russian hypersonics is perfect, Russia needs to find a US aircraft carrier first. It is not easy with satellites because it will take 20 minutes to direct a satellite to a location and it can only see that location for 10 minutes because the satellite is not geostationary. Russia needs thousands of drones like predators or Global Hawk to find US aircraft carriers because only drones have loiter time to maintain constant track.

There is a huge difference in operating a civilian aircraft at hypersonic speeds economically and applying hypersonic vehicles for military purposes.
50 years ago when the travel at supersonic speeds was developed to match the Anglo French airliner in response to President Kennedy's initiative, it was determined that economical travel was best near Mach 2.7, at altitudes around 80000 feet. But, and there is always a significant not apparent consideration that must be observed, traveling at those altitudes increases the radiation exposure to the passengers, requiring shielding.
As far as aero thermodynamic solutions are concerned, significant progress has been made, leaders are former Rolls Royce people, with new approaches being investigated in propulsion technology using hydrogen as fuel.
The approach differs from the commonly so called supersonic external combustion process discussed in the video.

Shows video of an Russian flag with an Explosion behind it, narrator:''but it also shed light on it's destructive potential''
By that part the Viewer is made felt that Destruction and War is the objective to why Russia is interested, while showing the American NASA Shuttle previously and being uncritical on the Usa.
''China or Russia possibly experimenting with Hypersonic technology'' So..? The Usa not? or are the Usa the only one allowed?
The Viewer by that line gets suggested that China, Russia are doing something sneaky and wrong.
''And we know China isn't building these capabilities purely for defense'' Oh right, but the Usa does, amirite??
''That's made it a top priority for Washington, our defense capabilities and ultimately our national security'' Again Framing, the part of ''important for military applications'' is now framed in such a way that the Viewer is made felt that the US Government is doing it for noble and legitimate reasons, i.e. defense and national security.
Don't get it twisted, Russia, Usa and China are the biggest Threats to the World and Mankind and have been already since the end of WW2. To think that any of these are not interested in Hypersonic tech for aggressive and offensive Military use is delusional, but all of them are also interested in use in other fields.
That is absolutely true. You also see clip after clip of civilian US technologies, it's very easy to forget that by far the biggest owner of hypersonic weapons - and far more destructively - is the US and its nuclear ICBM arsenal. And the incredible thing is that unlike most nuclear countries the US has never pledged to a no first use policy. In other words, the US might destroy the world at any time if it considers it strategically advantageous.
How about prioritizing providing for the basic needs of all humanity and not turning the planet into a radioactive bomb crater over arms races?
