I don't think scramjets have turbines?

  This isn’t a scramjet. We watched it cold start and it has a compressor.

    Exactly, so why are you posting a link to scramjets, in relation to supersonic combustion? I don't think a turbine engine can handle hypersonic speeds, and so this will only work in the first phase of flight, as a booster. Or if it's intended for SSO, the intake will have to close at higher speeds, or the very least the turbine stopped, and the engine switch to rocket mode, with oxidizer pumped in somehow. And then the 'back of the turbine' will likely have thermal issues.
