May these missles inflict more casualties upon the genocidal entity and help in liberating the people of Palestine07

Yemen has hypersonic missiles before the US does?

multipolar world let's goooo

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 38 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Not really, it's "just" a ballistic missile that reaches a hypersonic velocity at some point in its flight, likely in the terminal phase.

Russia did get a "true" hypersonic weapon before the US though, in the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile.

From visual inspection and the statement from Ansar Allah, this appears to be the combination of two different Iranian ballistic missile designs. Quite ingenious. I'll post further analysis in the news megathread and link it here shortly.

What’s the difference between a “true” hypersonic missile and this? Genuine question, I know nothing about missiles

[–] puff@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

The speed is the easy part, travelling in a straight line. The difficult part is getting the rocket to manoeuvre at high speed.

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

Going really fast isn't helpful if you're not capable of steering at that speed. The V2 was technically a hypersonic missile.

[–] bdazman@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

Terminal situational awareness, terminal maneuver capability, and terminal range extension are all traits typical of the modern definition of a hypersonic weapon in my opinion.

Just when I thought Yemen couldn't get any cooler, they go and release a rocket with a Palestine-themed livery.

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 38 points 3 days ago

inB4 the united states has called for an immediate ban on rockets bearing the Palestinian flag

Finally some good fucking news.

I always roll my eyes when it comes to r/upliftingnews

Is it great that Israel is being frustrated in their efforts to do genocide? Yes. But what is that settler colonial state doing there in the first place???

spoileridk the format sort of feels flawed for this joke

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

Yemen is building a secret army... using a technique unknown to us. A technique involving hypersonics.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Settlers crying and shitting themselves when one of these is sent, let them perish.
