Hi Tex, it can travel over Mach 5

"The Congressional Research Service report said the AHW would be able to maneuver to avoid flying over third party nations as it approached its target. The weapon would use a precision guidance system to home in on the target, it said."

That's great, but they can't cure the common cold?. It's so fucked up that the US and others spend so much time, money and energy to figure out new and super improved ways of fucking us up, just think if they put ALL that time, money and energy into people , what a world it would be..:)

This weapon, from the diagram i saw, can carry a payload as well. Imagine a nuclear tip on this thing.

You know that old, old American technology called the tomahawk missile? Those were designed for nuclear payloads. The ones they fly through your window....

Our skunk works or should I say black ops department is about a hundred years or more ahead of most nations.

1958 we built a plane, SR-71 that flies three miles per second for extended amounts of time. It prevented Israel and Egypt from going to war a few moons ago.

My point is, what we have is not in the realm of belief.

That's why we need to start feeding our tomatoes silicon and protect them with EMP netting. Once the missile hits, it will be deactivated and our tomatoes will be safe.
