Two New Types Of Hypersonic Missiles Already Used By Russian Navy

Odo Puiu Events invites you to watch a ….Two New Types Of Hypersonic Missiles Already Used By Russian Navy. It is limited to this speed because of the altitude density. If the Kinzhal stays at low altitude, atmospheric pressure (drag) limits its speed to about Mach 7. If it is programmed to attack from above, then it could rise into the stratosphere and accelerate to Mach 10. The missile at high altitude is confirmed to travel at Mach 10. Kinzhal is about 10 Mach, imagine Avangard which is 20 Mach. The advantages of a hypersonic missile are many: 1. Speed. No time for the enemy to react (either leave or activate/track with air defenses). 2. Undetectable by radar. At mach 10, the temperatures developed (friction of air with the surface of the missile, almost 3000 Celsius) cause the air enveloping the missile to become plasma. Plasma is basically ionized gas which absorbs all electromagnetic radiation, thus rendering the object invisible to radar. 3. The kinetic energy at hypersonic speed
