Imagine having the ability to strike anywhere in the world within one hour. The X-51 is an amazing hypersonic cruise missile that travels 600 miles in just ten minutes (approximately 3600 MPH or Mach 5).

x 51 cruise missile

Compared with the Tomahawk Missile which travels at a mere 550 MPH, the X51 gives the US the ability to strike enemies quickly before they can evade. As U.S. Strategic Commands deputy commander Lt. Gen. C. Robert Kehler puts it, the goal of the X51 is to strike virtually anywhere on the face of the Earth within 60 minutes.

The power of this weapon once it reaches its unfortunate target is amazing.

Traveling as fast as 13,000 mph, the warheads are filled with scored tungsten rods with twice the strength of steel. Just above the target, the warheads detonate, showering the area with thousands of rods-each one up to 12 times as destructive as a .50-caliber bullet. Anything within 3000 sq. ft. of this whirling, metallic storm is obliterated.

Darpa's projects don't ever actually work but sound great on paper man lol
I seen a story on a space craft they announced that had like mach 14 or something but it could NOT fly right and it was a failure.
Darpa said it could not be controlled and they would fix it.. famous last words from them.
High speed aerial acrobatics is not an easy thing to accomplish i think.. straight line ? sure no problem but try and turn around LOL

A lot of American projects are fascinating but the effectiveness is often ignored for wow factors or what ever..
And you keep making grand claims on super technology but i have my doubts these things work as advertised lol
Especially when US military officials say themselves publicly they are prone to massive problems on a regular basis.

uhh
