The Speed Of A Hypersonic Nuke Missile? Mach 8! 101.5 Miles Per MINUTE! 6,090 Miles Per HOUR!

LITTLE OR NO WARNING TIME ONCE A HYPERSONIC NUKE MISSILE IS LAUNCHED UNTIL IT UNLOADS IT'S MIRV'ED WARHEADS ON THEIR TARGETS. THESE MISSILES HOPEFULLY CAN BE PROGRAMMED WITH SOME SORT OF SELF DESTRUCT MECHANISM SO IF AN ATTACK IS CALLED OFF AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, CALAMITY CAN BE AVERTED. TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED SO RAPIDLY, WHAT WAS ONLY DREAMED OF IN SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS AND DYSTOPIAN FUTURISTIC PROGNOSTICATIONS HAS BECOME THE STUFF OF REALITY. 

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THE CHICOMS LOADED ONE OF THEIR HYPERSONIC NUKE MISSILES WITH TEN 20 MEGATON WARHEADS AND TOOK OUT 10 MAJOR US POPULATION CENTERS AND THEN SENT IT'S DEEP WATER NAVY OVER WITH A HALF MILLION MARINES IN ORDER TO SECURE THE US GRAIN BELT IN ORDER TO FEED IT'S BURGEONING POPULATION? WELL, THAT'S NOT TOO FAR FETCHED AS THEIR LONG TERM PLAN IS WORLD DOMINATION AND A WORLDWIDE COMMUNIST REGIME RUN BY THE CHINESE. NOW WHAT IF THE CHICOMS LAUNCHED FIFTY 20 MEGATON WARHEADS AT US POPULATION CENTERS SIMULTANEOUSLY AND KNOCKED OUT OUR ELECTRICAL GRID AND SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS AT THE SAME TIME? AMERICANS WOULD BE SITTING DUCKS FOR A MONGREL INVASION BY THE CHICOMS! BOY, WOULD THEY BE IN FOR A SURPRISE WHEN THEY WERE MET WITH GUNFIRE FROM ALL THE LOCAL HUCKABUCKS AND SURVIVALISTS AND PREPPERS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WAITING FOR A TIME SUCH AS THIS! I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD GET TOO FAR! BESIDES, OUR SUB FORCES WOULD PROBABLY BLOW THEM INTO OBLIVION AND NEUTRALIZE THEIR ASSES IN SHORT ORDER! BUT THIS TALE IS JUST TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT HYPERSONIC MISSILES. THEY ARE JUST TO FUCKING FAST FOR DIMWITTED HUMANS TO BE PLAYING WITH! MACH 8! FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK!
