Icm not the type to be comfortedby “us prollly gonna fuckd this uo” i strive for They R Swinging Towards The Erong Hole and invariably thatnis true

the supposed hypersonic gap was cool for a while there but I guess its not surprising the US would catch up

so 410 chgnese missiles (99000 USD) + made wirh their parts. gap not qwite closed. can the US improve that faster than China? but the raw cost is a symptom of a deep incurable disease

China’s Rare Earth Dominance and the Strategic Fqilure of the West <- investoids think they can do it just invest in their pet firms. let’s see.

if you think the “supposed” hypersonic gap was nice for a while good news we’re just gettin startd baby

the pentagon’s hypersonic wepons program relies on superalloys of niobium, tantalum, titanium + hafnium for mach 5 fligh. the us is 100% import relaint for all three. brics nations hold 70 to 80% of known rare earth reserves. 68% of intra brics trade now uses no dllar. china processes 90% of global rare earths. us diversificatin will source from other brics members like brazil + south africa. brics now dominates rare earths, industrial metals + grains. intrabrics trade is up 200% with new dollar bypass ypu prolly know. the march 2026 india brazil critical minerals pact creates a $20 bilion south‑south corridor for rare earths, lithium + niobum. analySSts call it a “third stratgic corridor” bc the US is left out. brics nations (especially china + russia) are net exporters of political risk in critical metals markets. the us military’s tech edge is threatenedby a “brics led mineral realignment”.

stateside domestic capacity is fragmened. mp materials operayes the only major rare earth mine at mountain pass, ca: 43000 metric tons of conc;entrate in 2023. china’s northern rare earth group alone produced over 150000 metric tons that year; total chinese mine output was 270000. relement technologies targets 16000 metric tons per year of separated oxides by 2026. china’s separation capacity exceess 300000. for magnets, usa rare earth plans 600 metric tons per year in 2026, scaling to 1,200 by 2027. e vac magnetics has a new plant at about 2000. noveon magnetics opertes a magnet facility, china produces 85‑90% of global permanent rare earth magnets, over 200000 metric tons annually. jingci material alone produces over 15000 metric tons per year of neodymium iron boron magnets. cyclic materials is building a recycling campus with 600 metric tons per year of mixed rare earth oxides, scaling to 1800 by 2028. china’s grirem advanced materials already recycles over 5000 metric tons per year and is expaning. bottleneck is mid‑stream proessing. historically, mountain pass concentrate was shjpped to china for conversion to metals + oxdes. competing on cost is difficult given china’s fine-tuned state management of the industry, scale, + lower environmental complince costs in some regions. prices for lanthanum + cerium have fallen to levels that make US producton unviable. military keynesianism is on notice
