In the US launched the first Division of LRHW hypersonic weapons

The rocket has a range of 2800 km, so the division will be subordinated to several commands. The US Army launched the first system of LRHW hypersonic weapons. To do this, tests began in February. About it reports Defense Brief. The 1st multidisciplinary battalion of operational fire of the 5th battalion of the 3rd Regiment of Field Artillery launched a system of hypersonic weapons.

The army states that the deployment has carried out critically important team and control links between the US Indian-Pacific Command, the US Strategic Command, and a number of other commands. Hypersonic weapons will obey them all. "Our soldiers processed real real -time missions to get real results, take lessons and create readiness. We train how we will fight, and our soldiers are ready to deploy and use this critical potential forward," - said Brigadny General Bernard Harrington.

The US military notes that they are making rapid progress in creating a technical and procedural capacity in the rapid integration of hypersonic weapons. The LRHW rocket has a range of 2800 km - this is the first new Medium -range launch line in the US Army since 1991. One division includes 4 launchers with 2 missiles each. Its flight speed reaches 5 strokes (6125 km/h). The military claim that hypersonic weapons will run any anti-missile defense.
