Dizzy watching American supersonic equipment run at 8 times the speed of sound

The US Air Force has just released a video of the testing of the latest supersonic sledge with tremendous speed.

According to the Daily Mail, footage shows the sled moving on rails at Holloman Air Force Base, near Alamogordo City, New Mexico, USA at a speed of 10,600km / h (2.9km / s) - more than 8 times the speed of sound (0.3km / s).

The sleigh moves at 10,600km / h (2.9km / s) - more than 8 times the speed of sound (0.3km / s).

The carriage slid so fast, the viewer could not see it moving with the naked eye.

The first part of the sledge mounted supersonic engine was located a few kilometers from the camera position.

Viewers can only see the light flashing from afar when it rushes towards the camera at a dizzying speed. Even when slowing down videos, it is difficult for the viewer to see the sledge clearly.

The test took place less than two months after the Pentagon announced it wanted to develop supersonic weapons on its own after Russia announced the successful testing of the weapon in 2018.

Supersonic weapons can move at a speed 5 times higher than the speed of sound. According to Defense News, the creation of hypersonic weapons is one of the top priorities of the US military because leaders want to use this weapon to destroy enemies if war occurs.
