Today the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command conducted the first test flight of the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon (AHW) concept. At 6:30 a.m. EST (1:30 a.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Time), a first-of-its-kind glide vehicle, designed to fly within the earth’s atmosphere at hypersonic speed and long range, was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii to the Reagan Test Site, U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll.
Well, not yet. But one day.
I wonder if this is a weapon that could rip up DF-21s inside China to pave the way for our carriers to enter the western Pacific?
As I've noted before, because China is developing a weapon to take on our carriers that is based inside China, that makes China itself part of the theater of war rather than a sanctuary to limit conflict.
