Crazy the price everyone pays for Israel’s genocide and occupation.
I guess they really are trying to be the next Nazis.
I hope they actually do, and this isn’t just some scaremongering to drum up support for even more extreme US action in defense of Isreal’s genocide.
Per Wikipedia:
US officials claim that the Patriot missile system can be successfully employed against hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles. The Joint All-Domain Command and Control can be used to spot and intercept targets including hypersonic technologies.

Lol
US officials claim
Lol
What an insightful and thought provoking rebuttal 🤡
It means the source is untrustworthy if you couldn’t tell
untrustworthy
Lol
couldn’t tell
Extra Lol
See how dogshit of a response that is? Try harder please
That would be a silly thing to claim if it were a lie, it could be tested and obviously refuted.
It has been tested, in the field nonetheless
I mean a quick Google shows that it’s a very real capability, but if you don’t want to believe, you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink.
🤡
Now this is a good rebuttal

It’s not just a claim. “Hypersonic” ballistics like the Kinzhal are not real hypersonics. It’s just a faster ballistic missile because they launch it from a plane. Being ballistic makes it easy to intercept.
When people talk about hypersonics as a future weapon, they are talking about hypersonic glide vehicles. Not an Iskander strapped to a plane.
“Wikipedia” —Lol
“US officials claim” —Lol…Says the user who just posted a story sourced from Russian state media.
(Not that the report is necessarily wrong, or that US claims are necessarily true—but you’re applying a bit of a double standard with your instant dismissal.)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim to have a new, hypersonic missile in their arsenal, Russia’s state media reported Thursday, potentially raising the stakes in their ongoing attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways against the backdrop of Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
However, the Houthis have for weeks hinted about “surprises” they plan for the battles at sea to counter the United States and its allies, which have so far been able to down any missile or bomb-carrying drone that comes near their warships in Mideast waters.
Meanwhile, Iran and the U.S. reportedly held indirect talks in Oman, the first in months amid their long-simmering tensions over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program and attacks by its proxies.
Adding a new weapon increases that cachet and puts more pressure on Israel after a cease-fire deal failed to take hold in Gaza before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
A new suspected Houthi attack targeted a ship in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday, but missed the vessel and caused no damage, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said.
Fabian Hinz, a missile expert and research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said he wouldn’t be surprised if Iran transferred a new, hypersonic weapon to the Houthis.
The original article contains 1,077 words, the summary contains 221 words. Saved 79%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The USSR wasn’t perfect and there were some mistakes that they have done, such as supporting Israel early on. But one lasting good thing it did was help People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen) develop their missile program. We are seeing the lasting legacies of this now.
