Russia revealed the project of atomic bombers from outer space
People say who controls the universe controls the world - and Russians are definitely trying their best to do that.
Russia is designing a rocket-type jet that can attack targets from space with nuclear missiles. At five times the speed of sound, the aircraft will reach any point on Earth in less than 2 hours. As a first-generation aircraft of this type, it is capable of dropping nuclear warheads from space.
An engine operation will be completed by 2020, according to Colonel Alexei Solodovnikov, who is working on the project. He said: "This will be a strategic flight. It will fly into space to attack with nuclear bombs and return to the airport."
The test engine for PAK-DA aircraft is expected to be on display at the 2016 Military Technology Forum in September near Moscow.
Commander-in-Chief Sergei Karrakeyev, commander of the Russian missile strategy ministry, confirmed that the engine for the aircraft was successfully assembled and tested. He said: "An engine for potential spaceflight has been developed at the Strategic Missile Academy. The engine's performance has been confirmed".
"The idea is that a bomber can take off from a normal airport and monitor Russian airspace. Upon receiving it, it will fly into space and attack targets with nuclear missiles and return to base. " . Mr. Solodovikov added: "It will be able to accelerate to sound speed in missile mode".
A prototype of Russia's new generation bomber is being tested in the wind tunnel.
According to the Strategic Missile Academy, the engine will operate in two modes, a mode that uses kerosene energy for conventional flight and a mode of using methane and oxygen to fly into space.
The company from England Reaction Engines said that their ultrasound engines will be completed by 2020. The European Chaia Space Agency has invested more than £ 7.5 million in the development of the SABRE engine, which may allow The plane flies anywhere within 4 hours. US officials have yet to disclose whether next-generation bombers can fly supersonic, but the US Air Force responded in 2007 that its aircraft will not exceed the ultrasound level to save costs.
To fly at Mach 5 supersonic speed, this aircraft will be 5 times the speed of sound, about 6,180km / h or faster. In addition, the most closely-aligned Russian aircraft program is being developed by BAE Systems - £ 200 million Tarans. This will be the most advanced aircraft designed by British engineers.
It is expected that the premise of unmanned stealth aircraft can attack deep in enemy territory while avoiding complex defense methods. A source from the RAF said, "RAF has a future program called Taranis , a stealth drone that looks like its ability but cannot fly in space."
The fastest British aircraft is the Eurofighter Typhoon, which has a maximum speed of Mach 2, or 2,494 km / h. The source of the RAF also said : "If you talk about the capabilities of American planes compared to Russia, whatever is the craziest thing you can dream about, the US has grown much more. America has been there for decades. "
The European Space Agency has invested US $ 11 billion in the development of a new one-day engine that can fly anywhere under 4 hours.
After launching Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite, from the USSR in 1957, American Senator Lyndon Johnson warned: "Whoever controls the universe controls the world." In 1983 President Ronald Regan proposed the idea of the Space Defense Strategy Beginning. "
The plan to use missile shields with this satellite can immediately disable all heads reaching the nucleus, and is called the Star Wars plan. It was put into practice immediately after his inspirational speech about the nuclear advantages that Russia has. However, the technology that the project requires is too complicated and requires a lot of research, so it has been canceled or minimized.
