Successful Experience of Prototype Hypersonic Missiles
Washington … News Time
The United States has announced that it has successfully tested a prototype unarmed hypersonic missile, a weapon that could potentially dominate the opponent’s defense system. According to a foreign news agency, the Pentagon said on March 5 that the experimental missile flew at a certain point at a hypersonic speed, which is more than five times the speed of sound. The experiment was a continuation of the first combined experience of the US Army and Navy in October 2017, when prototype missiles showed a target to glide at hypersonic speed. In a statement, Vice Admiral Johnny Wolf said we have validated our design and are now ready to move on to the next stage of the hypersonic attack.
Hypersonic Weapons the ability to carry combat warfare, especially nuclear warfare, is a new and very dangerous level. These missiles are capable of traveling at much lower altitudes than nuclear-capable missiles. And the flight can also change its target and not follow a prediction command like conventional missiles, which makes it difficult to track and stop. Even as a conventional armed non-nuclear weapon, analysts see it as increasing the risk of conflict because opponents may know how armed they are and when they are launched.
The Pentagon is pressing Moscow and Beijing to race hypersonic missiles, even fearing it will increase the risk of nuclear conflict to an alarming extent. In the fiscal year 2021 budget, the US Department of Defense requested $ 3 billion 20 million for the hypersonic program, which is $ 2 billion more this year. According to the report, the goal of the United States is to achieve the deployment of hypersonic capacity by 2023. In December last year, Russia announced that it had installed the first advanced hypersonic missile, making it the first country to claim a viable hypersonic weapon.
