NASA’s New AI Will Terrify Putin
Hypersonic missiles designed by AI.
Unless you have been living under a rock you will have noticed international relations have not been so peachy recently. Particularly with Russia, as they continue to use brutal and criminal acts in Ukraine, despite universal outcry. One of the most shocking revelations of the war in Ukraine has been Russia’s liberal use of hypersonic missiles, especially as the US is lagging behind with its hypersonic weaponry designs. However, thanks to NASA and some incredible AI scientists, this may be about to change. But what are hypersonic missiles? Why are they important? And should Putin be worried?
A hypersonic missile is a missile that travels at over Mach 5 (3,836.35 mph +). This is fast enough to fly through current anti-missile defenses unharmed as the current systems simply can’t react fast enough. This means that, in theory, a hypersonic missile could hit any target. Want to hit the White House directly? The Kremlin? Crucial fuel depot? Naval destroyer? What about taking out a power grid permanently? Obliterating a military manufacturing site? Or even eradicating a military base? Well, in our modern world a hypersonic missile is your best bet.
