1.SS-N-30

Russian warships let fly 26 of these cruise missiles on October 7, 2017. They were sent to Syrian rebel targets located 1,000 miles from the warships located in the Caspian Sea. The Pentagon provided the name for these almost unknown missiles, as they were a surprise even to those who keep a regular, well-trained eye on Russian and its military. The attack is being viewed as a kind of calling card to the rest of the world that Russia’s new missiles have taken their place amongst the most advanced in existence. The missiles completed the objectives of striking 11 targets including a terrorist training camp, command centers, armament, oil, and munitions storage, and ammunition and explosive producing plants. Though exact statistics are obviously unavailable, the missiles demonstrated that they are similar to the Tomahawks used in combat successfully by Great Britain and the United States.


2.LGM-30 Minuteman III ICBM

Minuteman missiles have existed since the late 1950s. These weapons provide quick reactions, inertial guidance, high reliability, high accuracy, and significant, long distance target capabilities. As of 2015, more than 450 Minuteman III missiles are in force in Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota. Since the first Minuteman I missile was deployed in the 1960s, the series has been continuously upgraded and enhanced. Created by Boeing Company, these missiles feature a minimum of:
Three solid-propellant rocket motors with three stages of ATKs3
  • Three stages of chemical systems thrust, including 203,158 pounds in the first stage, 60,793 pounds in the second stage, and 35,086 pounds in the third stage
  • A range of more than 6,000 miles

3.RS-28 Sarmat Satan 2

This warhead has the capability to destroy targets flying across the North and the South Poles. It was first unveiled on the website of Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau in 2016. Its range is expected to exceed 6,800 miles, with the capability of destroying areas of the earth comparable in size to France or Texas. Yuri Bosiov, Russian Deputy Defense Minister announced this news to TASS, the Russian state news agency. The warhead is one successor the R-36M Voyevoda, and news of its existence was released just after Moscow made the announcement that it has suspended the arms reduction agreement it has held with the United States. The new Satan 2 replaces the SS-19 Satan missiles, and solidifies fears that a world without nuclear weapons is a dream which has come to an end.

1. Bell X-2 Starbuster

With only two aircraft ever created and retiring in 1956, the “Starbuster” was built by the United States Air Force and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) as a research aircraft to investigate flight characteristics in the Mach 2-3 range.
The Bell X-2 reached speeds of 3.196 mach in 1956. Shortly after this speed was reached, a fatal crash occurred and resulted in the death of the pilot Milburn G. Apt, ending the Starbuster program.

2.Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird

Introduced in 1966 and retiring in 1999, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird was a long-range, aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and used for military observations.
Nicknamed “Blackbird” the SR-71 has held the world record for the fastest air-breathing manned aircraft since 1976 and flies at a speedy Mach 3.5 (4,321.8 kilometres per hour)

3.North America X-15

You won’t see this hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft soaring through the skies these days, as it was only active from 1959 to 1968. The North American X-15 was operated by the United States Air Force and NASA, as part of the X-plane series of experimental aircraft.
Setting speed and altitude records in the 1906s and reaching the edge of outer space, the X-15 still holds the official world record, to this day, for the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft. The record was set in October 1976 when William J. “Pete” Knight flew Mach 6.72 at 31,120 m. To grasp just how fast this is, Mach 6.72, is 7,274 kilometres per hour!
If you’ve always wanted to be a Fighter Pilot, why not check out the diploma of evolution and start breaking the sound barrier in no time.

Travel by SuperCars

1.McLaren 720S

The McLaren 720S has succeeded where both of its predecessors (650S and MP4-12C) fell short in our supercar class chart: purely and simply, by topping it.
There are few more direct or effective ways for cars in this stratum of the performance car market to demonstrate their superiority than by accelerating faster, lapping quicker and stopping harder than any rival: the 720S does all three. In many of the performance benchmarks road testers are used to measuring, in fact, this 710bhp blockbuster is a closer match for a contemporary hypercar than one of its mid-engined opponents.
But it’s also uncommonly communicative and easy to drive; is a supreme ergonomic achievement; and flatters a rambunctious track style more rewardingly than any of its Woking predecessors.

2.Ferrari F8 Tributo


Ferrari will tell you its new F8 Tributo is a replacement for the excellent 488GTB, but in reality it’s more of a heavy facelift. That said, it’s a facelift that makes use of plenty of reworked engineering know-how from the stunning track-focussed 488 pista and the 488 Challenge race car, so we can probably cut Ferrari some slack in this respect.
Anyway, its twin-turbocharged V8 now develops 710bhp and 568lb ft, and surprise surprise, it’s as devastatingly fast as ever. It might still lack some of the aural drama of the 458’s old naturally aspirated V8, but the introduction of a new Hot Tube Resonator helps pipe a dash more noise into the cabin. Variable Boost Management ramps up torque gradually, too, so it not only feels more like a non-turbo engine, but cuts turbo-lag to almost non-existent levels, too.
It’s chassis is the main attraction, however. Not only does it make the engine’s stratospheric performance accessible, it also endows the Tributo with otherworldly levels of agility, balance and handling panache. Make no mistake, this is a sensational supercar. It’ll take a full road test to see whether it’ll topple the 720S, mind. Watch this space.

3.Lamborghini Huracan EVO


Only the makers of the world’s rarest and most expensive, handbuilt automotive exotics can now really compete with Lamborghini when it comes to creating cars of pure combustive drama, traffic-stopping looks and feral, unfettered soul.
The Huracan may be the firm’s entry-level model but it’s no second-order offering when it comes to its sensational styling or its fantastically wild, naturally aspirated V10 engine: a motor that over-delivers in equal measure on speed, responsiveness and audible character.
The face-lifted Evo version gets rear-wheel steering and torque-vectoring, and the results raise the Huracan's game closer to that of the McLaren and Ferrari. That you also get the 631bhp powetrain from the old, hardcore Performante seals this junior Lamborghini's reputation as a seriously rewarding, engaging supercar.
