FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

By the time you finish reading this sentence, the Falcon HTV-2, the fastest plane ever built, could have flown 18 miles. It would get from London to Sydney in less than an hour, while withstanding temperatures of almost 2,000C, hotter than the melting point of steel.
At 3pm BST on Thursday , the US Defence Advance Research Projects Agency will launch the Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 on the back of a rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. If all goes to plan, engineers will launch the Falcon HTV-2 to the edge of space, before detaching the plane and guiding it on a hypersonic flight that will reach speeds of 13,000mph (about 20 times the speed of sound) on its return to Earth.
The Falcon started life in 2003, part of a US military research project to build a plane that could reach (and potentially deliver bombs to) any part of the world in less than an hour.
The plane has been tested in computer models and wind tunnels, but they can only simulate speeds up to Mach 15 (11,400mph). A real test is the only way to determine if the plane will remain flying at high speeds.

I used to be interested in news like this. Now I just see it as more weapons for our sadistic rulers to murder poor people with. If these waepons could be used on the people who really deserved it that would be OK.

THIS IS WORTHLESS.
AT THEM SPEEDS, MANEUVERS ARE IMPOSSIBLE, IT’S BASICALLY A MISSLE, AND SIMPLE GROUND TO AIR MISSLE DEFENSE CAN INTERCEPT IT.
AIR TO AIR CAN ANTICIPATE WHERE IT’LL GO AND INTERCEPT IT.(TRAJECTORY)
FAIL!

I don’t know if it’s a total failure. If they locate them in Socal they can use them to deliver Fresh In-N-Out Burgers anywhere in the world. Fiat currency put to proper use.

Simple ground to air?
At the altitude where this operates-250,000 feet or so (rarefied air), you are going to need an anti-satellite missile to intercept something like this.

you hit it when it re-enters dummy.
did you guys catch the CNN bit on this where DARPA lost contact with FALCON?
not sure if they retrieved it yet, do you know?
Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s the USAF, NASA and DARPA were working on a very similar program known as the United States Space-plane Program. The space plane project was to develop a vehicle that could take off from a long, but relatively conventional airfield under its own power, with an extremely high rate of climb, the aircraft would climb through Earth’s atmosphere and travel in low earth orbit at mach 25, then descend and land in a manner similar to the space shuttle. The aircraft would use ramjet, scramjet or a combination of both types of power plants to propel the aircraft into orbit. Once in orbit and at speed, the space-plane would shut down its engines, coasting through space at a low earth orbit, cruising at approximately 15,000 kmph.
Actually, this may be just a furtherance of the original space-plane program. When the original space-plane program was announced, one of the proposed uses would be to insert a strike force of 20 commandos anywhere in the world within hours.
Idea originated in Germany by the NAZI’s military industrial complex.
The refurbished Chinese aircraft carrier might look like a pile of junk but it will soon be capable of launching 35 long range aircraft each carrying two nuclear armed missiles. Stationing it 500 miles off the Western coast of the US will make it a respected weapon. Its aircraft will deal a devastating blow to any nation that attacks this floating pile of junk.
Why don’t these assholes work on a car that get’s a 100 miles to the gallon.

Because nobody wants one.
What, am I supposed to feel shock and awe at the Empire’s latest murder toys?
