String comment = '>What is seen hanging underneath an H-6 in a recent picture is not a WZ-8 rocket drone
>H-6 could be carrying an example of the MD-22 hypersonic testbed
>The design is reportedly expected to be 10.8 meters long, have a wingspan of 4.5 meters, weigh around 1 ton empty and have a maximum takeoff weight of some 4 tons, and be able to hit speeds of up to Mach 7 on sorties that could see the drone cover distances up to 8,000 kilometers.

Yeah, and I'm Jesus. Why are your threads so fucking shit?';

Good luck getting enough thrust with a jet engine at that height';
'There’s nothing wrong with the concept. Air-launch it with a powerful booster stage and put it into near-orbit. The plasma issue only appears with the shock / vibration of re-entering heavy atmosphere, so with a nice hyperglide shape like this thing it should work in theory. Think of it like a temporary low-altitude satellite. Probably not able to land on its own though so maybe recoverable by parachute into the ocean or just be disposable. The thing is, China is currently launching modern surveillance sats so the use case for something like this seems limited.';

Absolute retard, at those altitudes only rocket engines work and that's what the WZ-8 and this new drone uses';

For tracking CSGs in the Pacific for real time tracking data for their ASBMs seems something that recon satellites can't do effectively on their own due to their short "staying time" at any given area.';

Retard-kun, do you see the air inlet with compression spike on the bottom of the platform?';
