(Washington Comprehensive) The United States announced on Friday that it has successfully tested a high -profile gliding test without weapons.Because this weapon can carry nuclear bombs, this may accelerate the arms race between world power.
The U.S. Department of Defense issued a statement saying that the weapon hit the drop point after flying at a speed of more than five times.
The statement pointed out that the U.S. military successfully conducted a high supersonic gliding test in Hawaii on the day. This test was a milestone for the U.S. military to realize the high supersonic combat capabilities before the mid -1920s. The test information will be used for the research and development of hypersonic technology.
General Wolff issued a statement saying: This trial is the success of the No. 1 flight test completed in October 2017. At that time, the GM supersonic glide C-HGB achieved a stable hypersonic speed plan at our target distance.EssenceAccording to him, in the new experiment, the device is fully competent.
Wolf said: Today we checked our plans, and now we are going to advance to the next stage to equip the hypersonic attack weapon.
The US Missile Defense Administration also monitored the test and collected relevant data on the same day, saying that it would provide information for defense's high supersonic weapons.
High -speed weapons usually have a flying speed of more than five times speed and high mobility.
Many countries have developed or deployed such weapons.Russia announced last December that the Pioneer Ultimate Scroping Slot Slotting of Pioneer Magazine at an intercontinental ballistic missile and a speed of 27 times the speed was deployed. In October last year, the Dongfeng 17 missile with the hypersonic gliding warhead was publicly available in October.
