A new spy plane was just created after the company who invented the technology in the first place- except this version will be much, much better. The new SR-72 spy plane boasts "Hypersonic aircraft, coupled with hypersonic missiles, could penetrate denied airspace and strike at nearly any location across a continent in less than an hour". This would provide stealth, the number one game-changer in advanced weaponry today. Working planes could even be out on the market as soon as 2030 for the government to use. If everything goes as planned, the SR-72 should break world records for the SR-71.
I believe that it's great we have come this far in advancing our military tactics. However, it's scray to think that if we can make these kinds of machines, what is going to be the last straw? How much will too much be?
This is crazy we just keep getting more advanced.
