I am aware of Soviet FOBS program that was later scrapped and also of the fact that NATO did not have the capability to stop a FOBS glider vehicle because of the unusual attack vectors.Arrow wrote: Chinese missile technologies are less developed than Russian ones.I think they do not have developed HGV technology yet. The FOBS system was already known in the USSR since in 1960 years and now Russia has a fully operational HGV. Interestingly, the Sarmatian has the possibility of a trajectory over the South Pole and an attack on the USA from this side and will carry HGV or traditional MIRV.
Sujoy wrote:China has tested a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS). But instead of carrying a traditional nuclear-armed reentry vehicle, this Chinese system would carry a hypersonic glide vehicle.
This means China can now strike any target on the planet with very little chance of these warheads getting intercepted by modern day SAMs.

So it does have a foreign analogue?

It was a joke but still I'm really glad you got pissed off specificallyBig_Gazza wrote:Still not sure however what utility the embryonic Murkan Intergalactic Imperium can gain from the X-37....
Relax and give it time
If Russia ever builds it's own version you will learn to love it and regularly creampie yourself every time you see a photo

use. But the Buran concept was not merely a copy but was forming from the 1960s. This small variant seems to be a continuation of
the same general program. I am not seeing the great utility myself.
