US Navy Successfully Tests Dark Eagle Hypersonic Missile Exceeding 6,000 km/h with Range of 3,000 km
Dec 15, 2024, 03:35 PM
The United States has successfully tested its long-range hypersonic missile, the Dark Eagle, marking a significant advancement in military technology. The missile can reportedly exceed speeds of 6,000 kilometers per hour and has a range of up to 3,000 kilometers. This test is particularly notable as it comes after the U.S. withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2018. The U.S. Department of Defense has characterized this test as a breakthrough in hypersonic weapon capabilities, aimed at countering advancements from Russia and China. The U.S. Navy conducted the test, which is part of a broader initiative to develop hypersonic weapons, although some experts suggest that the U.S. is still catching up to Russia's historical advancements in this area.
