美国军方承认对中国或俄罗斯的高超音速导弹打击无可奈何！



So what happens now? 

所以现在是什么情况？

U.S. Military Admits Its "Helpless" Against a Hypersonic Missile Strike by China or Russia
The United States defense establishment has not stopped ringing alarm bells on what they say are rising threats posed by Russia and China, and their warnings are prompting fear among members of Congress.

美国军方承认其对中国或俄罗斯的高超音速导弹“无奈奈何”。
美国国防部一直没有停止敲响警钟，他们称俄罗斯和中国为崛起的威胁。这种警告也让美国国会议员越来越害怕。

Last week, US military officials and lawmakers highlighted hypersonic missiles as a particular area of concern.

上周，美国军方官员和议员都强调了高超音速导弹是一个值得关注的特殊领域。

“Right now, we’re helpless,” Republican Senator James Inhofe, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was quoted by The Hill as saying in advocating for more funding for hypersonic missiles.

“现在，我们还无能为力。”共和党参议员、参议院军事委员会的资深委员James Inhofe说道。 美国国会引用他的话来倡议拨更多的款用于高超音速导弹领域。

The talk on Capitol Hill comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted that Russia now has intercontinental ballistic missiles that are invulnerable to Western anti-missile systems.

俄罗斯总统普京炫耀称，俄罗斯现在有了西方反导系统对付不了的洲际弹道导弹。之后美国国会发表了该言论。

“We don’t have any defense that could deny the employment of such a weapon against us, so our response would be our deterrent force, which would be the triad and the nuclear capabilities that we have to respond to such a threat,” Hyten told the Senate Armed Services Committee last week.

“我们没有任何防卫措施可以抵御这样一个对抗我们的武器，我们的回应会是我们的威慑力量，我们必须用三位一体的核打击还有我们的核能力来应对这种威胁。”

注释：triad 所谓的三位一体就是核力量的三位一体，即必须同时具有从海洋、陆地和空中投送战略核武器的能力。目前具备三位一体的国家只有俄罗斯和美国。

Thomas Karako, director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, when asked if the US was really behind Russia and China on hypersonics, said flatly: “Yes.”

当美国国际战略研究中心导弹防御项目主任Thomas Karako被问及，在高超音速导弹领域，美国是否真的落后于俄罗斯和中国时，他直接回答“是的”。

“And the reason is the US hasn’t been doing anything near the same pace both in terms of developing our own capabilities but also failing to develop sensors and shooters necessary to shoot down theirs,” he continued.

他继续说道：“原因是美国在发展自己的高超音速导弹方面，以及研制出击落他们的高超音速导弹所需的传感器和发射装置方面都没有什么进展。”

Others have noted to Asia Unhedged that the US defense establishment’s goal when speaking to lawmakers is to drum up support for more funding. Exaggerating threats, or short comings, instills a sense of urgency for additional investment in arms development.

另外也有人指出，美国国防建设的目标对于议员来说是要招徕更多的资金支持。通过夸大威胁或者自身的不足，灌输一种要在武器研发上进行额外投资的紧迫感。

In short, to no one’s surprise, classified materials on the progress other countries have made in developing weapons reads a little bit differently from the information that is leaked to the press.

简而言之，其他国家在研制武器方面取得进展的机密材料读起来与透露给新闻媒体的信息有点不同。这是毫无悬念的。

The first strike is not the point. All side lose in a nuclear war. There are no winners.

先发制人还是后发制人并不重要。在核战争中每一方都是输家。没有谁是赢家。

$700 billion. Thats Billion, with a B. Thats how much we spend on our Military and defense. This amount far exceeds the next 8 countries on the list of largest military spendings, COMBINED! The military isn't always gonna tell you whats up their sleeves. There is so much more going on than anyone else knows. Trust me when I say this, USA is protected, up with defenses, and ready to go on the offensive at multiple fronts at any given time.

7000亿美元，是亿啊！这就是我们花在军队和国防上的钱。这个数字远超过军事支出榜单上我们下面8个国家的总和啊！军队不会时时刻刻告诉你他们在做什么。在很多人的知情范围之外还有很多事情在进行着呢。相信我说的吧，美国很安全，我们有防御措施，而且也随时做好了进攻多条战线的准备。

注释：2017年11月17日，美国国会以压倒性的优势通过了2018年7000亿美元(约合4.6万亿元人民币)国防支出法案。而中国2018年国防预算才1.1亿元人民币。

Why would anyone in the US military make such a remark except by way of spreading misinformation?

为什么美国军队里的人要发表这种无异于散播假消息的言论呢？

@Searching....I agree. This seems to be misinformation. It's all a chess game until nukes are launched for real. Then it is game over for the entire world. No bonus points. No bonus rounds. No repeat games.

我同意。这看起来似乎是假消息。在真正发射核武器之前，这一切都像是在下棋。之后整个世界就玩完了，再也没得玩了。

Lockheed's SkunkWorks experimented with hypersonic missile testing and concluded that the weapon's skin temperature would exceed even the tolerance of even the titanium alloys now used in missiles. Just sci-fi for now as numerous hurdles must be overcome. Just the problems in guidance alone at that speed is formidable. Cruise missiles are still the most dangerous weapons of our naval forces and are quite reliable and accurate.

洛克希德的臭鼬工厂做了高超音速导弹的试验，他们得出了结论：这种导弹的表面温度甚至会超过目前导弹使用的钛合金的熔点。高超音速导弹现在还只存在于科幻小说，因为还有许多必须克服的障碍。单单就说在那么快的速度下如何引导导弹就是一个棘手的问题了。巡航导弹仍然是我们海军部队中最厉害的武器，而且非常准确可靠。

注释：Skunk Works臭鼬工厂，是洛克希德•马丁公司高级开发项目的官方认可绰号。臭鼬工厂以担任秘密研究计划为主，研制了洛马公司的许多着名飞行器产品，包括U-2侦察机、SR-71黑鸟式侦察机、F-117夜鹰战斗机、F-35闪电II战斗机和F-22猛禽战斗机等。

Fear can get people to spend much more than they would have otherwise.

恐惧可以让人们为此投入更多的钱。

Really? 
With all the resources in the US there is NO reason we should ever be "behind" any other country in terms of military capabilities.

美国有各种各样的资源，在军事实力上我们竟然会“落后”其他任何国家，这是说不过去的。

US spends 500-700 billion a year on defense get we're falling behind Russia and China who spend far less......accountability?

美国一年在国防上投入5000到7000亿美元，却让我们落后于军事支出比我们低得多的俄罗斯和中国。。。。。。谁的责任？

In the late 1950's and throughout the 1960's the US experts alarmed the nation by stating that the Soviet Union had a minimum of 3,000 nuclear missiles. The reality was that they had four.

在1950年底到整个1960年代，美国的专家们都在警告说，苏联至少有3000枚核弹。事实是他们只有四枚。

Even with regular missiles carrying a nuke, we'd be unable to stop most of them. They are fired into space and drop vertically onto their targets at 13,400 mph. 3.77 miles per second ! Try stopping that.

即使用常规导弹来携带核弹，大多数情况下我们也没有办法阻止。这些导弹被发射到太空，再以每小时21565公里的速度垂直落到目标上。每秒6公里啊！还是努力阻止吧。
