"At the Obama administration": Trump accused the Russian Federation of "stealing" hypersonic weapons technology from the United States

US President Donald Trump accused Russia of stealing information about hypersonic missiles during the administration of the previous head of the White House, Barack Obama.

“Russia stole information (for its rocket -

) from the Obama administration.

Russia got hold of the information and built its own rocket, ”Trump said at a campaign rally in Minnesota.

At the same time, the American leader believes that now the United States has more powerful weapons than Russia.

At the same time, Trump mentioned promising American weapons, without specifying any of its parameters.

“I’m not even saying which (the US has weapons. -

).

You'd better not know.

And God forbid that we never have to use it.

But we have the most powerful weapon ever invented by man.

They (the Russians -

) have a supersonic missile - I call it "super duper" because it is five times faster than a conventional missile.

We have an even faster one, ”Trump said.

The head of the White House added that against this background "the Russian missile can now be considered slow."

Earlier, Trump has repeatedly spoken about the presence of promising types of weapons in the United States, which supposedly other states do not have.

In mid-September 2020, the head of the White House spoke in a similar vein.

“There are systems (weapons. -

) that no one knows about, and you (journalists. -

) as well.

Honestly, it seems to me that it will be better if everything stays that way.

We have incredible systems, ”said the American leader.

He also mentioned that neither Moscow nor Beijing has such weapons as Washington has.

In addition, during the ceremony for the first official presentation of the banner of the US Space Forces (CS) last May, Trump spoke about the presence of the United States "super-duper-rocket", which, he said, will be significantly faster than other countries have analogues.

“We have, as I say, a 'super-duper-rocket'.

And recently I heard that it is 17 times faster than those that are now available when compared to the fastest missile in the arsenal, ”said the US President at a meeting with the COP command in the White House.

Trump went on to mention that he estimates Russia has missiles five times faster than existing weapons, and China is allegedly developing missiles five or six times faster.

“We have it 17 times, and this (project. -

) has just been approved,” the head of the White House said.

Note that Russian President Vladimir Putin previously pointed to the real progress of the Russian side in the development of hypersonic weapons.

The head of state suggested that Moscow would have a way to defend against such weapons by the time other states only have military hypersound.

“So far, since 2018, no one has had this (hypersonic. - RT) weapon.

Yet.

It will appear.

But I think that we will be able to pleasantly surprise our partners with the fact that when they have these weapons, with a high degree of probability we will have a means of dealing with these weapons, "the Russian leader said in an interview with Andrey Kondrashov on the Vesti Nedeli program. ...

Commenting on Trump's statements, a military expert, retired colonel Viktor Litovkin, noted that the current US president is not shy about expressing such thoughts and is taking the opportunity to "throw a stone into the garden" of his predecessor.

“If we stole the technology, the Americans would have had hypersonic missiles for a long time, and we would only develop, but it turns out the other way around.

We have not only hypersonic missiles, but also hypersonic combat gliding units on strategic missile systems, and they still do not have any of this.

Therefore, it is strange to say that you can steal something that does not exist, "the expert said in an interview with RT.

Litovkin indicated that Trump's statement was made during the election race, but the president did not provide any facts to support his statement.

“If it were, they would have demonstrated long ago.

So far, there is nothing but talk.

We need facts, we need proof, there is no proof, there is only "super-duper" - it sounds beautiful, "the expert concluded.

Doctor of military sciences, captain 1st rank retired Konstantin Sivkov also believes that Trump made propaganda statements that have no relation to reality.

“So it’s all fake.

If we stole the secret of hypersonic weapons from the Americans and made them, why didn't the Americans make them? "

The expert asked.

He added that based on the calculations voiced by Trump, the weapons he described should have absolutely unrealistic indicators.

“Trump said that this rocket flies almost ten times faster than our Vanguard or Dagger, this is from the realm of fantasy ... If the Dagger walks at a speed of about 10 Mach numbers, 10 times faster - this turns out to be 100 Mach numbers, this is a speed that corresponds to about 30 km per second, ”the expert concluded.
