The United States is trying to close the gap with Russia and China in the development of hypersonic weapons, but to date not a single American development has been adopted for service. Nevertheless, the Pentagon is conducting tests as part of a program to create such weapons.
According to a statement from the US military department, the US Army (Ground Forces) and the US Navy recently conducted a joint test of a new hypersonic system. The launch of the new hypersonic missiles was supposed to take place at Cape Canaveral in Florida. The Pentagon did not explain how the tests were completed or what systems were tested. However, they did say that they were “very important” in terms of obtaining information about the operation of the equipment and software.
The US Army and Navy recently began testing a conventional hypersonic system at the US Space Force base at Cape Canaveral in Florida. These tests were an important milestone in the development of field-ready hypersonic technology. Important insights into the operation of hardware and software have been obtained that will help move closer to the deployment of hypersonic weapons
- leads TASS words of a US Department of Defense official.
As has been repeatedly reported, the United States simultaneously launched several programs to create hypersonic weapons, and it is not a fact that all of them will “shoot”, considering that several have already been closed. The Pentagon admits that they lag behind Russia and China in this area, but they promise to certainly catch up and even surpass them. According to the latest data, a decision has been made to accelerate the development of hypersonic systems and put them into service.
