Chinanews, August 1, according to the Russian satellite network quoted the US "The Drive" magazine reported that the US Air Force conducted the summer test of the AGM-183A hypersonic missile air-launched rapid-reaction weapon prototype, which failed again.

The first test previously conducted in April also ended in failure.

The picture shows the rendering of the "Falcon HTV-2" aircraft released by the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which shows the scene of the "Falcon HTV-2" being separated from the launch rocket.

  "The Drive" magazine reported that the test was carried out on the B-52 Stratofortress strategic bomber in the Pacific region off the coast of California.

The missile was safely separated from the aircraft, but the engine did not start to work.

  According to military information, despite the engine's technical problems, "precious data" was successfully obtained during launch, and the missile prototype was not separated from the carrier during the last flight test.

  The hypersonic missile developed by Lockheed Martin can reach more than 15,000 miles per hour with its own technical characteristics.

It is equipped with jet engines controlled by combat forces.

According to media reports, the AGM-183A hypersonic missile air-launched rapid response weapon can fly to Russia within 20 minutes.

  In December 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at a high-level military meeting that Russia had deployed hypersonic weapons for the first time in its history and was the only country in the world to deploy such advanced weapons.

He said at the time that during the Cold War, the former Soviet Union lags behind the United States in the development of atomic bombs, strategic bombers, and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Now Russia has surpassed the United States in the development of new weapons, saying that the United States is catching up from behind.
