US has 4 different laser weapon systems from 50kw-500kw, surface to air missile capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles, 4 different hypersonic missiles going into production next year, HAWC. HACM, HALO & LRHW 3 of which are hypersonic cruise missiles.
If Russia and China combine, the USA wont be able to defend itself
What USA is making today China is also making 10 times more, who is countering who?
Typical American Cold War mentality to see anyone in space as a threat. Were the Russians a threat when they were in space before the Chinese?
It’s been happening since the pandemic they were warning us through movies and series , it’s gonna happen again soon we need to get prepared and pray for the beginning of the new world 🌎
this feels like a pre-tense to what will come…war, it reminds me of the film 'the world we leave behind'
Biden is a threat to usa. Freeze his accounts
It is recommended to ban chinese people to have education from the USA.
"Leave the world behind."
This is why NASA should have never been underfunded if they hadn’t been we could have most likely landed a person on Mars like a decade ago
America on top
mfs got the robotic arm strapped 🗣🗣🗣
We been waiting for chinas move for decades. Trust me. China isn't even close to being ready.
Can't blame this on trump, in fact in obama got space force together during his time we'd be about on par with china. Thanks to the forward thinking of trump, we have space force.
chinese were there before the U.S. and they will be there long after
'Guarding the US against threats from China'. Really?? What a bit of disinformation. Yesterday December 14 in Beijing, as reported in the media, a Chinese defense spokesperson reiterated China's firm opposition to the arms race in outer space. Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesperson for China's Ministry of National Defense, said that China has been consistently advocating for the peaceful use of outer space, actively promoting international cooperation in outer space, and firmly opposed to the weaponization and arms race in outer space.
The adoption of the draft resolution on "No First Placement of Weapons in Outer Space" co-sponsored by China, Russia and other countries with high vote support at the 78th United Nations General Assembly fully demonstrates the international community's clear attitude of supporting the negotiation of international legal instruments on arms control in outer space, said Zhang.
However, certain major powers are moving against the tide and continuously advancing the weaponization of space and turning it into a battlefield. Such kind of move is prone to triggering a space arms race, seriously threatening space security, and undermining global strategic stability, said Zhang. I think he was pointing to the US here. The US has been in space for many more years than China and has a Space Force, as one of the arms of the US military. Now THAT is what you probably should be worried about.
China were just copying the thecnology from U.S. can't compare .
Cpmetetion is somehow threat 😂
That's scary
❤
Looks to me that the U.S. is falling further behind.
Like you guys didn't know Biden is a sellout
Check out our new technology. Puts it on the news. Idiots
Sounds like an excuse to spend more on the military. Who cares about infrastructure and universal health care
The US is losing the cyber war with China
humanity is doomed
Too bad we spent all our money on WAR!
thats what happens when you get comfortable. too late. china is already 10 years more advanced than we are.
What about the uaps Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have that we reversed engineered but is classified by trumps puppets because it taps into zero point energy?
That is called sleeping on the wheel ! Blame US officials being so slow and stupid throughout last a few decades!
spy baloon, a technology…give me a break!!!
Biden so weak. He's allowing USA 🇺🇸 get attacked. And terrorist sneaking over open biden border failure
3 * 10^8 m/s^2 is much faster than a hypersonic missile 😉
Thats laughable grapple arm satellite spy balloons its embarrassing and weak show of power stick to corruption only thing you got goin for ya
Can we stop showing what we are doing USA smh
A magician never reveals his secrets. Lol
If America has alien technology now is time to pull the tools out..
it’s fr becoming a space force episode 😂
Yeah but we have UFOs👽
But they do business to their enemy 😅
United states of america, you guys are a joke if you take every advancement as a threat. By that logic, sputnik wouldnt have launch and there wouldnt have been satellite.
Why does the U.S like to feel threatened? Why?!
Jewish Space Lasers???
Anything and everything that China does that we don't have yet is a threat to the U.S.
