It's only taken it's first flight and look at what Winnie the Xi's propaganda machine is already producing.

It doesn't even make sense. Hypersonic missiles are good at being hard to take down themselves. But you don't need that to take down an aircraft. You need super sensitive radar systems, since the claim is that these aircraft reflect about as much energy as a bumblebee would.

That is truly amazing.
Do note that the this claim comes from the same people who don't hand out any actual specs and always fly with an additional reflector. The latter makes it easy for radars to see them again. This is helpful in allied airspace, but it also makes it impossible to verify the claim.
Also note that modern radars are sensitive to how fast an object approaches (or leaves) the radar. Bumblebees don't break the soundbarrier usually, so it is possible to see these planes, but you do have to tweak your radar for it. (Hence why the US doesn't give specs.)
Buzzwords are all that matters.
Also, too much of a credible point.
Most state of the art SAMs are technically hypersonic.
Interesting. I did not know that!
It’s not that impressive… a bumblebee can emit the same small radar signature as well.
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.
You must be the other guy
How's your mother?
This is the propaganda way of saying "MY DAD CAN BEAT UP YOUR DAD!!!!!"
And the funny thing is, both op and the newspaper in the screenshot are doing it!
OMG, scary news. Time to increase the defense budget again, I guess…
Hypersonically it goes door-to-door knocking
"Any B-21's here? No, right then. On to the neighbors."I worked on the b-2 (has the same tech nearly). If you take a panel off to inspect anything or fix an issue the jet has to go to the paint shop to have the paint re-applied because its most of what makes it stealth. The paint absorbs radar.
The most bat shit insane part of this is the missile absolutely cannot maneuver to intercept at hyper sonic speeds unless it's a nuclear warhead. In which case, yes we know you can down a plane with a nuke.
