America is known to be the most powerful nation with most advanced weapons. It has a good stock of deadly weapons that are just enough to end up this world into ashes. Still some of the American security analysts feel that the nuclear weapon technology of the nation is not credential enough and is deteriorating with their enemies growing stronger so they have expressed a need of a Hypersonic Cruise Missile technology that will be able to travel large distances in few minutes and hit the target giving their enemy no time to escape.
In the Pacific, a nuclear-powered Ohio class submarine surfaces, ready for the president’s command to launch. When the order comes, the sub shoots a 65-ton Trident II ballistic missile into the sky. Within 2 minutes, the missile is traveling at more than 20,000 ft. per second. Up and over the oceans and out of the atmosphere it soars for thousands of miles. At the top of its parabola, hanging in space, the Trident’s four warheads separate and begin their screaming descent down toward the planet. Traveling as fast as 13,000 mph, the warheads are filled with scored tungsten rods with twice the strength of steel. Just above the target, the warheads detonate, showering the area with thousands of rods-each one up to 12 times as destructive as a .50-caliber bullet. Anything within 3000 sq. ft. of this whirling, metallic storm is obliterated.
These kinds of developments mark the possibility of a World War III. I think America should sacrifice their greed to acquire more and more deadly weapons.
