The U.S. Air Force successfully tested a high-speed, “air-breathing” miracle weapon that should strike terror in the hearts of America’s foreign adversaries.

The cruise missile, called the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC), is so powerful it can move five times faster than the speed of sound, according to a statement by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

DARPA is a research arm of the U.S. Defense Department whose purpose is to develop high-tech military technology.

“It could strike targets much more quickly than subsonic missiles and has significant kinetic energy even without high explosives,” DARPA said Monday.

IIRC, Russia and China already have hypersonic missiles as well.

They probably have the blue prints of our missiles already, too.

"Despair"?

I guess that's about par for a Fair-Use-violating clickbait site.
