The Americans have tested the dreaded hypersonic missile! THIS is supposed to be the reason why they kept it from the world – Topky.sk

According to the HAWC hypersonic missile concept, developed by Lockheed Martin and powered by a supersonic scramjet engine, the Americans launched a B-52 bomber on the west coast.

The Russians have their Kinžal The test itself was to take place only a few days after information emerged that the Russians in Ukraine should have used the dreaded Kinžal, ie their own hypersonic missile. The aim was to destroy the ammunition depot. The information was then confirmed by the Russians themselves. This relative innovation in their “equipment” is known to be manoeuvrable at every stage of the flight and can carry a conventional or nuclear warhead, making it a complete threat.

In addition to Russia and the United States, China, for example, has had to develop them in recent years. CNN has pointed out that while the United States has imposed sanctions on Russia, it is careful not to escalate tensions. On Friday, for example, they canceled the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile test to avoid misinterpretation by Russia.
