China Goes HyperSonic - U.S. Goes with 1970s Museum Pieces

China is equipping bombers with, and testing, bomber launched cruise missiles using technology the U.S. projects, but does not fund, for deployment with U.S. forces not earlier than 2025.

Obama has destroyed all 1990s designed bomber launched cruise missiles, and instead forces our airman to maintain museum pieces designed in the 1970s.

Seems US can not counter Chinese anti-ship missiles going 8000 Mph.

As long as you believe the MSM. What is the size of the black budget?
I have read from a few sources that Presidents do not have a high enough security clearance to learn what is being worked on, and are not trusted, because they are public political animals.
As illustrated by Reality Check's above statement.

Black research projects are one thing, putting the results of that research into mass production is another thing altogether.
Both the B2 and B1 bomber program were terminated after building only a tiny fraction of the airframes originally planed for production leaving 50 year old B52 bombers as the back bone of the bomber fleet until they are over 70 years old. The same with the F-22 program, for all the wrong reasons, the F-22 program was terminated, leaving the U.S., and the U.S. Navy, lacking both a long range, two engine, ground launched attack aircraft, and nothing but a hope that the F-35 grows range, reduced costs,
This would not be so bad if the B52s was being relegated to the role of standoff launching platforms, intended to launch, and forget, long range, stealthy, hyper-velocity cruise missiles.
Just the opposite is true. B52s dropping gravity bombs, with GPS guided glide fins added, have become the planned heavy hitter of the U.S. strategic deterrent.

And most of our potential enemies have the capability now to knock them out of the sky with relative ease.
