US ‘plans hypersonic missile test with 15,000 mph weapon, scheduled for launch into SPACE across the Pacific’, in collaboration with Putin

World

THE US could soon launch an incredible armed hypersonic missile into space to show off its impressive war arsenal to the world.

The formidable rocket can reach a speed of up to 24,000 km per hour and will shoot over the Pacific Ocean in the near future. US Air Force trials that seek to humble a desperate one Vladimir Putin.

Rumors about the new high-tech missile started when the Air Force unveiled images of the menacing AGM-183 Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW).

Currently China are the only known country with an ARRW and the latest American development has disappeared Russia trying to get one for myself.

Photos show the weapon being carried under the wing of a B-52H bomber at a popular US air base in Guam.

The Pacific Island has been a major site for new weapons tests in recent years.

Although rumors about the devastating weapons being officially tested are still just speculation.

The official explanation from the authorities was that the footage was simply made public to ‘show and tell’ people about the training given at the base camp.

The Air Force said the footage from the live AGM-183 was taken during a “hysonic weapons familiarization training” on Feb. 27.

The missile is easily identified as a live warhead thanks to a distinct series of yellow rings on its front and back.

The serial number reads AR-AUR-005, although sources say the US might will soon have eight in their arsenal of weapons.

The US announced: “B-52 Stratofortress crews from the 23rd Expeditionary Bomb Squadron and the 49th Test and Evaluation Squadron participated in a hypersonic weapons knowledge training Feb. 27 at Anderson Air Base, Guam.

“The crews focused on the fundamentals of hypersonics, operational and logistical considerations, and in-depth tactical discussions.”

Although the appearance of the rocket has raised many eyebrows.

Nearly a year ago, the US Air Force announced they were shutting down their ARRW program after several miserable attempts to properly build it.

These failures resulted in the military seemingly giving up on ambitious weapons.

Andrew Hunter, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technologyand Logistics said in 2023, “The Air Force currently has no plans to pursue follow-on purchases of ARRW once the prototyping program is completed.”

This has led many to debate the official reason why the missiles are now back in Guam.

Because speculation about whether the missiles will ever be formally tested is still unknown, some people have argued that their return is a clear sign of potential success.

Sources say it is highly unusual to bring the live AMGs to Guam just for training.

The high cost of the weapons being shipped through the US has led many to speculate that this is actually a clear sign that they are being actively tested in the near future. future.

Several warnings have also been recorded indicating this the test could start as early as next week.

A number of public notices were sent to pilots and sailors over the weekend.

These indicated that the US would test an air-launched weapon over the western Pacific Ocean.

A successful test will be a clear signal of current towards both Putin and in Russia And China.

The US was previously seen as miles away from its rivals in hypersonic weapons, but is quickly catching up, reports say.

The Chinese People’s Liberation Army has already shown off their hypersonic missile with the DF-17 on land.

And now they are believed to be actively working on a number of other projects that could be crucial in the defense of their country.

Russia is also hard at work developing its own hypersonic missiles, according to reports from the country.

WHAT IS AN AGM-183 ARRW?

The powerful rockets are a spectacular sight as they fly through the air sky.

The ARRW is carried by a huge rocket and consists of a large rocket booster carrying an unpowered hypersonic boost-glide vehicle.

The missile remains intact until it reaches a certain height and speed in the air before the hypersonic vehicle is released.

The nose and rocket booster then descend again Soil.

As the weapon continues its journey to the chosen one goal.

The US Air Force said: “The weapon system is designed to provide combatant commanders the ability to destroy high-value, time-sensitive targets.

“ARRW will also expand the capabilities of precision weapons systems by enabling rapid response strikes against heavily defended land targets.”

Expertly developed by Lockheed Martin, the ARRW is extremely difficult to detect in the sky meaning it’s almost impossible to knock down.

It weighs approximately 3,000 kg and can reach a length of 6.5 meters, making it one of the largest rockets to date.

The Air Force has been working on the missiles for some time.

They also said they only have one live ARRW launch left as part of the current weapons program, The War Zone says.

Previous attempts ended in misery, with the first taking place in April 2021.

The long-awaited test flight failed almost immediately because “the first test flight using a booster vehicle encountered a problem with the aircraft and failed to start.”

Carried by a B-52H Stratofotress bomber over California’s Point Mugu Sea Range, the ARRW failed to even complete the launch sequence.

The rocket was not released and was eventually returned to the ground completely intact.
