The Army's new Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon has a range of over 1,725 miles.
Adversaries will find it difficult to detect and defend against.
The new weapon is the U.S.'s direct response to Russia and China's own advances in hypersonic technology.
The U.S. Army has a new hypersonic weapon that's designed to fly 17 times the speed of sound. Now, we know the weapon will be able to strike targets from at least 1,725 miles away, according to an Army spokesperson's recent comments.
