US military successfully test launches hypersonic glide body
Yes, I know- RT. And good news for the US.
The Pentagon has announced that it has successfully tested a hypersonic glide body, saying that the launch will play an important role in future hypersonic technology development.
The US Navy released a clip of the projectile’s launch, which was carried out in cooperation with the Army.
The hypersonic glider was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii on Thursday night, yet confirmation came only on Friday. Its flight was tracked by the Missile Defense Agency, which will use the flight data to improve its own hypersonic defense systems.
