What!?

 Seriously?)))

“The United States successfully shot down a hypersonic missile in a recent test, showcasing its missile defense capabilities. On 24 March, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the U.S. Navy conducted the ‘Stellar Banshee’ test off Hawaii’s coast. A Medium Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) with a Hypersonic Target Vehicle (HTV) was tracked and virtually intercepted by the USS Pinckney. The test, part of ongoing efforts to counter hypersonic threats, also involved the Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) satellite. MDA Director Lt. Gen. Heath Collins highlighted the importance of defeating hypersonic missiles for national defense.”

In related news, I am a virtual millionaire and this thing is called ... ahem, PR. It is also called "electronic launch" against mockups of the target, in other words--you allow your AD complex to electronically develop firing solution without launching anything. Here, this is how it looks like:


Sometimes it is better to keep silent than parade oneself desperate and, frankly, stupid.

Once in a blue moon an indispensable book comes out making a clear case for sanity in what is now a post-MAD world. That’s the responsibility carried by “The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs,” by Andrei Martyanov (Clarity Press), arguably the most important book of 2019.

Saker's Review.
The above summary does not do justice to Martyanov’s truly seminal book. I can only say that I consider this book as an absolutely indispensable “must read” for every person in the USA who loves his/her country and for every person who believes that wars, especially nuclear ones, must be avoided at all costs.

Asia Times About The Book

Asia Times About The Book
In Losing Military Supremacy, his latest, groundbreaking book, crack Russian military-naval analyst Andrei Martyanov deconstructs in detail how, “the United States faces two nuclear and industrial superpowers, one of which fields a world-class armed forces. If the military-political, as opposed to merely economic, alliance between Russia and China is ever formalized – this will spell the final doom for the United States as a global power.”
