You are not that smart. How many of the core US weaponry have they ever revealed to the world?

If they are just saying they are experimenting now common sense should tell you they already have it but in their usual smoke screan manner would use a decoy statement like what you are latching onto to deceive your kind
they reveal everything. Is it the same USA that have a multi billion dollar industry, Hollywood which is dedicated to hyping their army and weapons you are pretending don't reveal their weapons? They even hype and reveal the details of their own presidential motorcade just to feel sleek. Do you a single detail about Chinese presidential motorcade? But everyone knows the specs of US presidential car. They have multiple YouTube channels where they hype their weapons. Forget rubbish guy.

They're experimenting means they are experimenting. Nothing more

You African and Middle East Muslims will cheer Russia to doom out of hatred for US tacit support for Israel. Funny enough, Russia you Muslims are busy cheering is another strong ally of Israel, and Russia also have a sizeable number of Jews as citizens, so the joke is on you Muslim terrorists.



You Muslims should reduce the time you spend plotting terror and hitting your foreheads on the floor and head to research centers and devote more time to science and technology researches so your Muslim countries can grow scientifically and technologically and not rely on just mineral resources Western world (Christians) help you guys to discover, explore and still purchase.

"Stereotyping people just because they are against America's actions just shows how messed up your mind is, your thought process has been successful hijacked by Western propaganda... clearly a prophet is not needed to tell how brainwashed you are...

Mind you, I am a Christian, check my profile page...the joke is on you

Your likes were praising America when she invaded Iraq and killed over 400,000 innocent civilians and children on a baseless and eventual lie of Sadam Hussein having a "weapon of mass destruction...

Your likes were praising America when she invaded Afghanistan killing millions for a period of 20 years looking for the Talibans, yet end up handling sophisticated weapons to the same Taliban they went to eliminate...

The Russians never colonized any part of the world, their invasion of Ukraine (her neighbor) was to demilitarize her because of her closeness to an arch enemy (America), just imagine Benin Republic romancing boko haram an enemy of Nigeria, you think Nigeria will be happy about that and not act?

"Who told you the Americans don't announce the testing of their weapons? you think the invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc isn't an avenue to do the testing of weapons just as Russia is doing same with Ukraine by putting to use her Hypersonic Missile...

Remember, America was furious when Russia tested her biological weapon in Syria...Truth is, America knows how advanced the Russians are when it comes to military hardware, reason they are threading with caution... period

Don't forget the Russians have the largest stockpile of Nuclear weapons in the world with America coming second...same Nuclear weapon used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki". Village People Spokesperson.
Last year alone, Russia announced several weapons testing and over 20 was featured on Nairaland.

The invasion of lesser countries by the United States is not an avenue to test newly made weapons. The US has moved greatly from testing regular missiles and weapons to more devastating ones, including bio-weapons, which is why they can't test them.

Militarily, there's nothing advanced about Russia. They have nuclear weapons. Period.

You know what animals do when they are cornered, and want to appear intimidating? They make some threatening noise, increase their size to look twice as big temporarily or just camouflage.

The way Russia military hardware have been falling apart in Ukraine plus how some of their missiles land without going off points to the fact that Russia's strength is a collection of the hardware they stockpiled during the Soviet Union.

The first country to develop nuclear weapons was none other than the U.S. Others only followed after the U.S. was done and had perfected their nuclear strength. Russia developed its first in 1949, 8 years after the United States was done.

The nuclear warhead Russia claims to have the largest stockpiled today is only 6,000+. As of 1960, when Nigeria got her Independence, the US had 30,000 nuclear weapons and had a total of 70,000+ nuclear weapons during their Cold War. What you need to ask is why they burned all. Link: https://armedforces.eu/compare/country_USA_vs_Russia

The US military budget is ten times that of Russia. That is all you need to understand or know about technological advancement and who has enough times on their hands to play with dirt.

Only Gen Zs would say Russia's military is technologically advanced compared to the United States' or just people without Internet access.

The United States of America may be lagging behind nations like Russia and China in fielding hypersonic missiles, but that’s not necessarily the same as being behind in the hypersonic arms race.

While the idea of this modern arms race has been framed in the minds of many as a rush to develop and field hypersonic weapons, the truth is, hurrying to get them into service wouldn’t provide the U.S. with much in the way of real military capability.



Instead, America has taken a different approach to hypersonic missiles, opting to focus on fielding new and advanced capabilities rather than trying to beat the opposition to putting these weapons into service.

In other words, the hypersonic arms race we’re living amid today is more like a race to the starting line of a more important competition, and the U.S. is much more focused on winning the next sprint than this one.

The United States has pursued development of this type of weapon since the early 2000s, focusing on two different variants, according to a report released Thursday by the Congressional Research Service.

The first is a “hypersonic glide vehicle” which is launched from a rocket and then separates before gliding to a target, and the second is a faster version of a cruise missile, which could be launched by submarines, ships, airplanes and ground vehicles, the report said. The Pentagon requested $3.8 billion for hypersonic research in fiscal year 2022.

The US are taking a different approach from the Russians that's why their own is delayed.

They are not just building hypersonic weapon that will just move faster but hypersonic weapon with other capabilities. Though the Trump administration wanted the weapon faster due to Russia and China success but all the same.

Yes, it's extremely difficult to beat the several layers of protection for an aircraft carrier, but that's where an incredibly fast projectile is needed; to score a direct hit or a close-enough hit on the carrier. The missile doesn't need to engage the other vessels in the group. A hypersonic missile can be designed to carry several warheads. If you hit the missile at a distance, several warheads will also get to you.

I used to believe the US so much until I started reading about other countries, that's when I found out that the US hypes their capabilities much more so they can sell their weapons. Selling weapons is the greatest source of wealth to the US, that's one reason why they start insurrections and wars around the world.
Go and read about how the Russian S400 systems performed in Syria, but look for an independent news, not all these ones that spew western propaganda. The US will always downplay the effectiveness of the Russian systems because if people start buying from the Russians, who will buy from the US? It's actually simple economics.
As much as the US weapons are shiny and fine, the Russian ones are built for ruggedity and to be cost effective. Ever wondered why the AK-47 is the most-used assault rifle worldwide, and not the American M4? That's because even when dirty, dusty, soaked in water...the AK-47 will still fire. Unfortunately, that's also the reason it's the weapon of choice to terrorists worldwide

Let me reply the bold first. You make me laugh, First of all, The M4 beats Ak47 both in accuracy and close range fighting and also recoil.

You asked Why Ak47 is more used worldwide and not M4; You forget or don't know that US do not allow their weapons to be sold to just any buyer, while anyone can easily purchase Russian weapons, to get American weapon sold to you, it has to pass through approval that is very difficult to pass through.

If you present russian made weapon side by side with american made for a pick , i don't see anyone picking that of russia.

Anything about military tech, russia is far behind US.
Now Let me post side by side comparison between Ak47 and M4 for your satisfaction.

As for the S400, Is widely Known that it performed so badly against Isreal F-35, This really shows you are not even updated.

So, in a war only hypersonic missiles decide the outcome?
The one used against Ukraine what devastation did it cause?
Russia was even the one who reported its use
It is not as if it caused a cataclysmic destruction that caught the attention of the world.

When you have military base around the world hosting ten of thousands, also ship sailing oceans from Atlantic to Indian to pacific to Etc, and giving military aids to country in billions, is common sense to know the defense budget will be higher to countries with no or little external bases or ship patrolling.

Most of us defense budgets goes to feeding of their soldiers outside US, fueling of ships and military aid to other countries not that all is for research.
