As the hypersonic missile arms race intensifies, the United States unveiled promising progress on deploying its first “Dark Eagle” long-range weapon system capable of eluding detection and interception and might be fielding it sooner than expected.
Evaluating Capabilities
The US Army recently deployed its first long-range hypersonic weapon (LRHW) system more than 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) away from its previous post to Cape Canaveral in Florida to launch a full expeditionary rehearsal and test its capabilities.
The weapons system was initially stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, before transferring to the Sunshine State to partake in the deployment exercise, dubbed Thunderbolt Strike, and gain insightful, “immediate feedback” from future operators on the sophisticated system.
