The Pentagon announced the test of a supersonic missile

According to Fars News Agency’s International Group, while the United States has repeatedly criticized other countries for testing various weapons, including missiles, and has not given them the right to do so, the Pentagon itself is testing a variety of secret and secret weapons.

The US Department of Defense announced Monday evening (local time) that it has tested a supersonic missile that can reach five times the speed of sound.

According to the news agency “ReutersThe Pentagon said in a statement that it had successfully tested the weapon, which was manufactured by the arms company Raytheon, and that this was the first successful test of such a supersonic weapon since 2013.

“The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) at the US Department of Defense said that the test of the Ultrasonic Weapons Project (HAWC) was carried out last week and brought the project one step closer to being added to US military equipment.”

“This experiment was carried out at a time when the United States and its global rivals are accelerating the development of supersonic weapons, the next generation of weapons that take away the reaction time and traditional failure mechanisms from enemies,” Reuters wrote.

Supersonic weapons travel at the highest levels of the atmosphere at more than five times the speed of sound, or about 6,200 kilometers (3853 miles) per hour.

“The missile, built by Raytheon Technologies, was released from the aircraft just seconds before the Scrum jet engine accelerated,” the Pentagon said in a statement.

Last week, the US Navy announced the successful test of two nuclear missiles off the coast of Florida to show strength to allies and rivals. (More details)
