If you're referring to the European Space Agency's Hermes shuttle, that project was terminated in 1993; no prototypes were ever built. As for the Hermes UAV, it has a maximum speed of 95 knots. Keep in mind also that the Mach speed of an abject is relative to the atmospheric conditions around the object; Mach speed has no meaning in space. No manned vehicle has ever exceeded speeds of Mach 30. This record was set by the Apollo Command Module as it reentered earth's atmosphere.

Generals from Iraq have learned so much they will be itching to put it into practice with Iran, they live for this shit. Any strike on Iran would come from Israel with covert american backing. All nuclear instalations gone in a single night of air strikes. Easy.

Check the recent news Porkchop, the US have won in Iraq.

It is only out of respect for the Iraqi people we take those 'hits'.

We could just be like the Russians in Chechtnia and level the place with artillery and air power. An AK or an IED does not do much good to an Iranian revolutionary guard thug buried in a collapsed building.

Sounds just like the in-game advertising videos for weapons in Doom 3.

"For the next-generation high-speed weaponry for highly-efficient, highly-reliable warfare".
