Would america be interested in a hypersonic bunker busting missile with 10 tonne depleted uranium tungsten penetrator implosion warhead capable of destroying bunkers around 1000 meters underground. Pls buy i give you good deal saaar.
>>65324226Hypersonic impact wouldn't work with nuclear warhead.G forces would destroy such warhead.
>>65324231its a depleted uranium penetrator, not a nuclear warhead.Also penetrating nuclear warheads exist.pls learn to read
>>65324245He can't handle thirdies having weapons.
>>65324226>bunker buster>muh hypersonicLol. Doesn't work that way, turdie. At hypersonic speeds penetration depth decreases and crater width increases.
>>65324245>implosion warhead>not nuclearwhat purpose does it serve then?
>>65324382It implodes, smartss.
I M P L E S S I V EMPLESSIVE
>>65324382In this case, to swap it with domestic nukes if things go hot.Same as Japanese space program, that strangely use solid fuel rockets for launching satellites
>>65324370>At hypersonic speeds penetration depth decreases and crater width increases.Wait what?Any sources for this?
>>65324525Most of the publicly available studies on this revolve around asteroid impacts.Link below is to a Purdue University asteroid impact modelhttps://www.purdue.edu/impactearth/?_ga=2.98558296.638061017.1783889289-305014351.1783889288The Density of steel is 7850 kg/m^3.The impact angle should probably be set to 80-90 degrees.You'll notice that as velocity increases the penetration depth decreases and crater size increases (at least as long as it's still hitting the ground), and once it starts breaking up in the atmosphere then increased velocity increases the altitude at which the penetrator explosively vaporizes (which also corresponds to shallower penetration since the atmosphere is also part of the "target").The KE from impact goes into both the target (heating and deforming it) and the penetrator (heating and deforming it). Up to a point, increasing velocity improves penetration, but once the penetrator's share of KE gets high enough that it overcomes the penetrator's ability to stay together then penetration ability falls off as it vaporizes at the contact point. Further increases in velocity simply make the penetrator failure happen faster so it penetrates less before blowing apart, so you get wider craters from the blast and less penetration depth because more of the energy gets wasted on the crater. Eventually increased penetration happens by dumping so much energy into the contact point that you vaporize significant amounts of the target as well (e.g. shaped charges, which both pre-vaporise the penetrator and produce a very long and narrow plasma stream to optimize penetration).
Just blow the bunker entrance and have them sit in their tomb>But they can still do command and control!Ok.
>>65324517Lets not pretend the space race had a very real aspect of learning rocketry so we can lob nukes at eachother better.
>>65325500>comparing loose rocky meteroids arriving at solar escape velocity to a dense, aerodynamically streamlined missile on a ballistic trajectory.Peak midwit. We saw what happened with the neutered oreshniks. Tiny crater that punched deep into nothing.
>>65324245>Also penetrating nuclear warheads exist.They are bombs with about MACH 1 terminal velocity.
>>65325500You should have seen how much KE i unleashed when i penetrated you moms crater and busted her bunker.
