US military 'successfully' tests three hypersonic weapon prototypes - Pentagon
The US Army and Navy have conducted three hypersonic tests at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, aimed at developing the military’s “offensive hypersonic strike” capabilities.
A flight test of the completed weapon could happen within the next 12 months, with the missile systems expected to go live in 2022.
It comes after Washington criticized China for two hypersonic tests in July and August - which Beijing has denied were even weapons.
