At a time when control of Pacific sea lanes is contested, Japan is positioning its hypersonic electromagnetic railgun development as a strategic centerpiece, aiming to deter Chinese naval threats and shift the regional balance of power.
Tokyo’s latest demonstration, shown by state-run ATLA, displays a prototype railgun firing hypersonic rounds at a moving ship. As the projectile surged forward, the deck shuddered slightly under the silent electromagnetic pulse, while nearby crew members steadied themselves, their expressions a mix of awe and anticipation.
Oh gurl, we’re over here balls deep in uranium pretending like all those stockpiles are for clean energy. Not our fault those difficult-to-monitor-because-they-run-continuously-reactors spit out plutonium.
hope it doesn’t come to that. good luck friend. hope to visit again soon.
