The US decided to send a “hypersonic signal” to China

11

Some time ago, the US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress strategic bomber delivered Andersen Air Force Base on the island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, an AGM-183 ARRW hypersonic missile, ready for combat use, but for “weapons familiarization training.” At the same time, it was not clear whether the Americans would conduct a test launch, once again irritating China.

Now it has become known that Washington has decided to send a “hypersonic signal” to Beijing. It is expected that in the coming days the US Air Force will test launch the said ammunition. The AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon is an air-launched missile.



Taking off from an airbase in Guam, the US Air Force “strategist” will make a flight of almost 4 thousand km to a certain area over the Pacific Ocean. Then the said hypersonic missile will be launched into the Reagan test site on Kwajalein Atoll (formerly Menshikov on the Marshall Islands) at a range of over 3 thousand km. Note that on its reefs, on December 22, 1946, after two nuclear tests, the last of the German heavy cruisers, Prinz Eugen, capsized and sank.

The US decided to send a “hypersonic signal” to China

Without a doubt, the US actions will cause a negative reaction from China. Russia is also unlikely to remain indifferent to the Americans’ new demonstration of their capabilities.

      They are frantically trying to make hypersonic missiles, but it’s not working out very well yet... But when they do, it will cost as if it were made of gold))

    Just yesterday our media were indignant: why, we wrote that the project was closed! That there are no missiles!

    A charge that will simulate “hypersound” is probably the most difficult thing, but those who flew to the Moon can handle all the difficulties. laughing

    This is what bragging and divulging all strategic plans for arms development in election speeches leads to. Now the main thing is to wait for American hypersound to appear close to our border from Murmansk to Kaliningrad in the new NATO countries.

    According to Jean-Paul Molny of the Institute of International and Strategic Relations (IRIS), there are very few gunpowder manufacturers in Europe.
    Molny notes that many governments are now working to move production from abroad.
    European Union Commissioner for the Internal Market Thierry Breton considers the main problem to be the lack of raw materials for the production of gunpowder in the EU.
    "This requires a certain type of cotton, which mainly comes from China. The supply of this cotton from China was stopped several months ago, as if by accident," notes Breton.

      we need to come up with countermeasures.

      Not only invented, but also recently successfully tested on a real warhead (Sineva) - S-500!
