Makers of hypersonic jet also have several bridges available for sale.

Did it fuck reach Mach 6.5. Going about Mach 5 is fundamentally hard as fuck with air breathing propulsion because physics basically doesn't want you to. You pretty much need a rocket for that.

The same guy followed up with a news article about how the Russians are going to beat the Americans at stealth fighters (comparing it to an F117, a slow ass bomber that’s been obsolete for decades), by building one out of fibreglass (plastic).

Credulous cheerleading tankies are the worst kind. Believe any stupid shit as long as it’s out of Russia or China.

I was subjected to a gleeful monologue about Russia's kinetic weapon that can travel at Mach 14 and turn targets to dust.

@Matt Hodgkinson The only weapon Russia has that actually works properly is the ability to throw expendable human flesh at a target until it gets exhausted. It’s low tech as hell, but very effective.

The rest of their shit is junk. Sadly they have so many nukes that at least some of them probably work.
