Lockheed Martin’s MAKO missile did not lose in competition for the SiAW contract. Instead, Lockheed Martin chose not to bid on Phase II of the program.
Lockheed Martin provided the following statement:
“While we made the decision not to proceed with SiAW Phase 2, our…

Comparing Chinese and Russian military developments with American and European might be enlightening. China and Russia maintain a secretive military industrial complex that is compromised by blatant fraud. America and Europe have competing industries. This is missing in the authoritarian regimes who depend on purges of executives when they do not get what they want.
The us has been working on hyper sonic for 60 years.the space shuttle use to re-enter the atmosphere at 25,000 mph.
Russia is also developing a compact hypersonic missile for transportation inside the SU-57 compartments, which is already being tested and will soon be put into operation. Therefore, Russia's enemies rejoice early. Also, the author does not say that Russia is already using a hypersonic Kinzhal missile launched from the external hangers of aircraft, as well as a hypersonic Zircon missile launched from ships. The Patriot complexes destroyed in Ukraine will confirm that both the Dagger and the Zircon are being used to the fullest extent.
Whats the range
"Since the first Russian and Chinese hypersonic weapons entered service" Except that the US had the same as those but far more effective for decades.
The Mako doesn't just fit in the F-35. It fits in basically all American fighters as well as the Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft and is being talked about fitting it into submarines and surface ships.
The difficult part to be an actual hypersonic missile is maneuvering quickly at hypersonic speeds. Which is downright sci-fi to achieve. Only the US has achieved it with the new Mako hypersonic missile. Which, by the way, is part of why it's the world's first hypersonic missile. And no, the air-launched cruise missiles and hypersonic glide vehicles recently invented by Russia and China (which the US has had for decades) are NOT hypersonic missiles. Going fast is only one requirement.
Friendly reminder to the comments that China does NOT have a hypersonic missile, neither does Russia. Those are air-launched cruise missiles or hypersonic glide-vehicles. Things the US has had for decades. A hypersonic missile transcends Mach 5 under its own power and freely maneuvers at transonic speeds. There is exactly one country in the world even trying to develop a hypersonic missile. That is the United States of America. And it recently has apparently been completed and is being deployed. It is called the Mako. The world's first hypersonic missile. Just because a missile goes faster than Mach 5 does not, at all, mean it is a hypersonic missile. Otherwise the US has had hypersonic missiles by that standard for decades before anyone else even tried to make them.
With things heating up in the South China Sea and our intertwining treaty alliances we could see SHTF very soon. So this MAKO missile deployment was needed YESTERDAY.
“Behind” 🤣
The US waits for potential threats to boast about their abilities, takes them seriously, then builds a weapon that in reality far surpasses the boasts of threats, only to find that we over engineered our weapon and now nothing at the time can compete.
no air to air or surface to air missiles (regardless of how fast they fly) are categorized as hypersonic weapons. That term specifically refers to HGVs, HCMs, etc…….that are offensive weapons, flying a depressed flight path, have end game evasive terminal maneuvers, and travel above M5. If it's a defensive weapon, or flies a ballistic trajectory, it isn't included in the category.
In short: Russia, China, you're F'd.
Alex, my good American Sir,
as someone deeply fascinated with America in general and its Military in particular, I am so glad I found your channel, I really love and admire your presentations and your style of delivering them, your enthusiasm always captivates me and fires me right up.
🫡
These will actually be used. The RU/Ch hypersonics are strategic weapons that will just gather dust, unless they want to give them non-nuclear warheads as anti-ship weapons.
This is now overuse of power. Firing an undefendable speed killer from a fighter, you're unable to detect is an overkill.
I think we should simply make peace and forget about a fight
So this 4m long hypersonic weapon has a payload the size of a pebble. Brilliant
Great. Beautiful. Now do we have the infrastructure to produce these in sufficient quantities to be useful in wartime?
Hey can they put Mako in a HIMARS?
If they want to carry all 6 of them (4 externally) and evade radar detection. Why not just fly upside down??!
Yay :~)
I just noticed what looks like an air intake for the new Mako Missile. Looking at the grey missile on the upper right corner of the presentation board at the Naval News' video titled, Lockheed Martin’s New Mako Hyper-sonic Missile Breaks Cover, there is a conspicuous downward protrusion that looks like an air intake just left of the rear fins.
Hear me out the new category should be called “Hypersonic Agile Missile” HAM. All the reports would say “the target was hit by a HAM” that’s hilarious
More propaganda weapons , cgi 😅😊
One thought I had while watching this: Given the overall size of this weapon and the capabilities of the rocket engines and seekers… I highly suspect that the actual explosive warhead of this weapon is fairly small. There's just not that much room to fit a big explosive warhead. It might even be relying on the significant kinetic energy that it has to do damage. Given this assumption, that might be why it doesn't fit the Navy's requirements for a "hypersonic anti-ship missile". If the warhead on the missile isn't big enough to reliably sink a big warship… Yeah, that wouldn't fit those requirements. This weapon seems more capable (maybe even ideal!) at taking out, say, enemy ground based air defenses. Or, in the case of the Navy, enemy ground based anti-ship missile launchers. It also seems like it could take out pretty much any other high-priority ground vehicle… And maybe even small surface ships. But, given the size, I just don't see it having the warhead needed to actually sink bigger warships. I could see it being adapted to target the AA guns/rockets present on ships, instead of trying to sink ships.
The world: We have hypersonic weapons…better than anything the US has.
The US: Should we realease what we have had for the past decade? Eh, sure.
US must make an old hypersonic missile and only after that to make a new one, or is it a new one because they waste the old one like a No2 rocket and after blowing that one to make a third one? Ah, the USA was superpower back in 1980. What the F is going on now?
Love it. I hoped and believed that US tech would have something up the sleeve💪
Lockheed Martin ROCKS!!!
Also, NASA forgot how to defeat the Van Allen Radiation Belt for Astronauts and how to get to the moon.
C O S T
why do you sound so dorky 😂😭 LOCKHEEEEED MARTIN ☝🏼🤓💀
1:49 That was insane. I'm watching this bright spot way off in the back expecting that to be the exhaust of the missile. I'm thinking if I watch this spot I should see the missile sled come shooting by. Nope, the sled went flying past so fast you can even see it. It was a like cartoon. I went by so fast it was just a blur. The only way you could even tell something went by is the smoke cloud left in its wake.
MAKO works of fiction and propaganda.. 😅
That's why we "improvisation"
holy crap guys WAY TO GO!
I suspect that the US is far ahead of Russia and China in development of reliable and usable hypersonic weapons. Russia and China build some, do little testing, and then declare their weapons nuclear and operational. In reality, Russian and Chinese hypersonics are largely boogeymen, intended to be threatened not used. By contrast, the US is building weapons which, when deployed, will actually work reliably. I do hope that the US develops nuclear variants of these weapons. The Mako sounds ideal for both conventional and nuclear deployment, and I hope that these are deployed soon, and in large numbers. A Mako-equipped F-35 appears to me to be an almost unstoppable and formidable medium range strike weapon.
"It's fast. It's real fast. It's so fast, it makes fast missles look, not fast." – China and Russia, probably
You have a great site and the information is very interesting. I have now subscribed !
Congrats us military
How far behind Iran though?
So. Where are the 60 Minutes episodes regarding cost of the F-35 now? You know what’s America’s greatest threat? A significant percentage of our population has bought into the notion that they know everything because citizens have the internet. Wow.
The U.S. military holds its cards close to its chest. That should scare the shit out of our enemies.
You missed the zircon, first use was my inlaws apartment in ukraine. It made it through a highly contested airspace, came around the city to hit from the rear.
With the Hypersonic missile, could that work with the C-130 Rapid Dragon system?
Is there not a hardened nose cone for kinetic penetration to enhance the 120 pound warhead?
With the major nuclear treaty ended between the US and Russia, a modernized tactical weapon might be ideal to pack a light weight punch, behind the hardened nose cone.
America had hypersonic missles 50 plus years ago . We invented hypersonic . We put in on the shelves due to the cost of use per missle
I wonder what each missile costs? 20 million? You can build almost 10 stealthy cruise missiles for that.
