>Russia-24 has published a video from the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation that shows a successful test launch of a new hypersonic interceptor missile with capabilities that are so advanced; no other country has a similar weapon.
>The reported launch was held at Sary Shagan testing range in Kazakhstan. A statement from the Ministry of Defense didn't specify the name or specifications of the new missile, only indicating the weapon successfully struck test targets. twitter.com/mod_russia/status/1135788660778000384
>YouTube commenters were stunned by the sheer velocity of the launch. Another user speculated that the hypersonic missile was a test for the S-500 missile system, a new surface-to-air missile/anti-ballistic missile system which could enter service by next year and replace existing S-400s. dat screeching sound tho...
They're not even done with the S-400 proving it's worth and with the Turkish shit and now this?

>no other country has a similar weapon. That exact catchphrase >nye imeyut analoga v mirie since 1950 is a recurring joke across all the former combloc, and is meant to emphasize shoddy Russkie craftsmanship, life-endangering lack of quality and failed attempt to copy Western design

We just had this thread yesterday.

>supposed to reach hypersonic speeds >video intentionally only shows the first 200 feet of launch, maybe getting up to 400mph
>existing S-400s Anti ballistic is S-300V. S-400 is replacement for S-300P. For atmospheric targets. S-500 is a mobile launcher where the TEL carries 2 missiles. The OP video is for A-235 interceptor.
>YouTube commenters were stunned by the sheer velocity of the launch.
Might have something to do with the video being edited to cut out being able to see the missile.

Here is some early 1970's US Technology. Sprint ABM, Mach 10 Specifications: Height: 27 ft Max diameter: 4.5 ft Weight: 7,600 lb First stage: 650,000 lb thrust for 1.8 sec. Second stage: 150,000 lb thrust for 2 sec. Acceleration: 1st stage - 130 G, 2nd stage - 90 G, Maneuvers - 60 G Max velocity: 10,200 ft/s Warhead: W66 thermonuclear warhead (a low kiloton range neutron bomb)
By stupid choices our politicians made. Either that, or they chose to cut funding to NASA for other reasons. What does a $112 Billion Air Force Black Budget buy? Musk is a side show that they allow to happen as a distraction.
Angel Edwards
The S-400 was developed before the Turks got their hands on the F-35, which in turn was dismantled and studied by the Russians. S-500 is being developed with that knowledge.

SpaceX and Boeing laughter can be heard.
Jaxon Clark
there's a clear video edit right when it launches
Kayden Gomez
>that fucking edit when the missile launches WEW
Robert Jenkins
The fact that US can't even put men into space should tell you something about the state of US. Really? Boeing and SpaceX took men to ISS? I'm laughing my ass off, Juan.
Tyler Davis
looks like a knock off Sprint
Aiden Green
Can you feel that? It is the Russian space agency fading into history as Soyuz is supplanted by SpaceX's Dragon.
Brayden Wright
True Space X had to beg congress to stop NASA from taking any more of their engines.
Isaac Edwards
>"Russian" missile interceptors
Chinese Anti-missile systems are infinitely superior to whatever it is that shitskin slavs and the indolent west could ever imagine.
Dylan Gutierrez
Gib proofs

End result is the same Ivan. Can you hear the clock ticking?

Congress can fall back on it juanito Its not the only time NASA asked for cooperation. qr.ae/TWGabr
Looks good. Could go for some boiled buckwheat and a nice piece of Russian rye bread
Eli Cooper
To be honest buckwheat is severely underrated outside of slav countries. But I'd skip the bread since I was rather disappointed by slav bread skills for anything else than hatchapuri.
Justin Powell
All I see is you coping at American superiority.
Jaxon Bennett
I'm a ruskie and even I can see that our space-efforts are dwindling in comparison to like 30 years ago. SpaceX is doing fuckin' unbelievable things in comparison.
>Vehicle carrying a giant ass round container. >missile being launched retardly quick
This is more than likely the A-235 system
Jackson Murphy
>deliberately dropped frames to make the missile look like it accelerates faster than it actually did >no thanks
Angel Wilson
>that comment section topkek
Brandon Rodriguez
Yea the first angle looks fishy af, tho the others seem pretty fine, especially the one with the flag but you can't really see how fast it actually is on that angle.
Meanwhile, Sprint accelerated even faster. youtu.be/msXtgTVMcuA Sprint was fucking baller. Shame it was only silo-based
Dominic Harris
nice and easy for the eyes to follow.
Jaxson Reyes
Damn, now THAT it's impressive.
James Miller
Sprint was cancelled because it had problems that America cannot solve and all the propaganda trying to hide the problems are wearing thin so they had to cancel the money drain. Apparently Russia has now solved what America cannot. This could be done with Chinese help.
Austin Perez
That looks edited as all fuck
Camden Cook
Because it is. They cut out a chunk of frames to keep you from being able to actually see the missile as it leaves the silo.
Because frogs and other angry Jow Forums posters take out their frustration by larping as ruskies and changs to easily bait burgers.
Alexander Ward
It was to cut off the shape of the missile. Apparently it is flattened top instead of round so it can house HGV warheads.
Thomas Murphy
F-35 went into LRIP even when it was still suffocating pilots.
Hunter Torres
I'm concerned for Dragon to ISS, and its not SpaceX's fault one bit, rather they have to go through NASA to get there. NIH. Already there is a year delay and extra testing ongoing breaking timeframes and yes its coming from where you'd expect.
Kayden Perez
so you stop the future developments because your previous system hasnt been tested by turkey?
Adam Perez
>hurr durr usa retired a system and russia just catched up to them
spirit was THE last line of defence and got replaced by the GMD which currently exists only in alaska
what russia TESTED is the evolution of the A135 a literally anti ballistic NUCLEAR missile here is an a years old video of it youtube.com/watch?v=1sfFp0BqPps its meant to protect ONLY moscow
Xavier Cook
>which currently exists only in alaska It is also at Vandenberg AFB in California
Gabriel Reyes
>How many are they going to be able to afford to build though? It's ABM. So, enough to protect Moscow from couple of launches.
Easton Martinez
lm decided to built more?
thats suprising

Back in the good old days they were the first country to accomplish many space feats including landing a rover on Venus. They've fallen quite a long way since though.
Ayden Miller
So that clean up crews can be sent quickly. The current Mayor is literally cleaning up the city. The jail is now 90% empty because they stopped cash bonds for misdemeanor infractions and stopped arresting for weed possession. Watching to see how this turns out. The job and housing market here is pretty good. Yeah but Russian agricultural production is more than doubled over the last decade. That seems more important than weapons. Meanwhile the USA is worried about the price of Avocados from Mexico.
Working in Florida this week and the amount of pasture, Orange groves, or vegetable cropland being turned into Boomer retirement communities is shocking.
Torroidal plasma balls fired at 1/10 C are better than an interceptor missile. Lasers can be the last ditch defense.
