The US is testing hypersonic weapons

The Pentagon announced successful tests with hypersonic weapons. This should help create a new class of weapon.

The Navy and the US Army on Wednesday successfully launched a rocket from NASA’s Wallops Launch Site in Virginia carrying equipment for nearly a dozen experiments with hypersonic weapons. On Wednesday, October 26, according to Reuters.

The test tested the performance of hypersonic and navigational equipment, as well as advanced materials that can withstand hypersonic-like heat.

During the tests, hypersonic components were launched into the upper atmosphere at a speed of 5 times the speed of sound, or about 6200 kilometers per hour.

Hypersonic weapons are considered a new generation of weapons that deprive the enemy of time to react and make traditional missile defense ineffective.

The United States is rapidly developing hypersonic weapons after its rivals Russia and China have already reported successful tests and adoptions.

To accelerate development, the Pentagon is experimenting with the sonic missile, a smaller and therefore more affordable test vehicle that “fills the gap” between ground testing and full flight testing.

Recall that Russia has conducted practice launches of ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.
