The United States conducted the first operational test of the All-Up-Round AGM-183A missile, which is considered an air-launched rapid response tool. It was reported on Monday, December 12, in the command of the US Air Force.

It is known that the launch was made from a B-52H Stratofortress bomber.

“This test is the first launch of a fully-fledged combat rocket prototype,” the report said.

It took five years to develop and test the new hypersonic weapons. Before that, rocket engine tests were conducted.
