US Hypersonic Missile Fails Anew In Third Trial by reccy(m): 7:00am On Jan 06, 2022 |
The US Air Force AGM-183A air-launched rapid response weapon (ARRW) hypersonic missile has failed a test for the third time, according to a recent report by The Warzone. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Command’s Armament Directorate revealed that the prototype missile failed to detach from its B-52H bomber host due to an unknown error. “On 15 Dec. 2021, the Department of the Air Force attempted a booster test flight of the AGM-183A ARRW from a B-52 Stratofortress,” Air Force Brig. Gen. Heath Collins told the media outlet. “The launch sequence was aborted before release with an unknown issue.” He added that the missile system would be returned to the factory to analyze its telemetry and onboard data. He said that the service would resume testing the hypersonic weapon “as quickly as possible.” In April, the inaugural test of the American hypersonic missile was unsuccessful due to an issue with the aircraft carrying it. Three months later, the weapon separated successfully from the B-52H bomber in a second flight test, but its rocket engine failed to ignite. ‘Not Satisfied’ The AGM-183A ARRW hypersonic missile is designed to propel to a designated altitude and release an unpowered hypersonic boost-glide vehicle, approaching targets at more than Mach 5. The weapon has a high degree of maneuverability, rapidly changing course to make it extremely difficult for enemy forces to spot, track, and defend against. The service had planned to conduct three booster tests this year. Air Force secretary Frank Kendall admitted that he is “not satisfied” with the pace of the missile development. “We’re making some progress on the technology; I would like to see it be better,” he told Breaking Defense. Retired Air Force Gen. John Hyten remarked that the service needs to be worried because the US has only conducted nine hypersonic missile tests, whereas China has already carried out “hundreds” of missile trials. “Single digits vs hundreds is not a good place,” he said. https://www.thedefensepost.com/2021/12/20/us-hypersonic-missile-fails-trial/?fr=operanews

Third times? Lol why are these western media's trying to cover up for the United States? Their hypersonic missile tests have failed for more than 6 times now, not 3. The US should just stick with their cruise and ballistic missiles. E no dey compulsory say dem must get hypersonic Cc; emae009 1 Like |

seunny4lif:I'm even surprised the western media's have been reporting their failures. Something they haven't been doing for a long time. Meanwhile, while the USA are still struggling with hypersonic research, Russia is will unvail its ultra-hypersonic inter continental ballistic missile which is Mach 20 at minimum and has the Capability to wipe countries out of the surface of the earth, this year or the next. Putin will be unvailing the poseidon this year, or the next also. The USA haas been left far behind not only by russia, which did years ago (obvious), but by China also lol 1 Like

Re: US Hypersonic Missile Fails Anew In Third Trial by seunny4lif(m): 3:56pm On Jan 06, 2022 |
It’s so funny the USA outspent more than Russia on her military yet still dependent on Russia to enter space. The reason both Russia and China have hypersonic weapons and the USA haven’t is simple because the USA believes Russia and China don’t have the capability then. Just 20 years ago Russia was struggling to survive as the economy was bad but not its 6th largest economy by PPP then the sanctions helped Russia a lot. Before the sanctions, Russia uses 3rd countries to power her Helicopters but now and same on her navy ships. Russia since 2016 have been launching her own engine Back to back. China and Germany spend a lot of money sending their citizens to Russia for engineering especially Space engineering MangekyoAlt: |

MangekyoAlt: They are testing a wide variety of missiles. for this one, this is the 3rd time. It's different from what's out there. the air breathing booster is meant to propel it hypersonic speed before disengaging and the missile will now fire it's own fuel engine to reach its target. Too many error point. Adding a fuel engine ramjet to propel a missile to hypersonic speed is what's out there and it's simple to achieve. I think we have a discussion like this already. Their hypersonic cruise missile was a success.. |
Re: US Hypersonic Missile Fails Anew In Third Trial by MangekyoAlt: 4:10pm On Jan 06, 2022 |
seunny4lif:That's the thing I'm struggling to understand. USA spends $700billion on defence annually. While that of Russia is barely $45billion. Wuth this, the USA is supposed to be far or even miles ahead of Russia in tech! But it isn't so. Lol, not even only Germany and China. See India. Each time russia develops a battle tank, they ask for license to make a copy of it. E.g the t-90 battle tank. Also, they want russia to give them license and also help them create a copy of the new Russian t-14 Armata battle tank. It was russia that also helped them create the fastest and most powerful missile in their arsenal; Brahmos. If not for the Russian engines that powers china's fighters jets I'm not sure if they would've had any fighter jets today. Laa Las if it was russia that was spending the money that USA spends, they fir don give everybody gap finish and it is money that make it look like the USA can even compete with them on tech 2 Likes 1 Share |

sunboy: Abeg the way Russia and China have mastered this hypersonic weapon systems is very commendable with their not so big budget compared to the U.S. military. Atleast you guys now know that every thing does not start and end with America. Cause according to you guys U.S. na the master of all things. In fact i wont even be surprised if you guys say U.S. had been building and storing hypersonic weapons since WW2. 1 Like |

seunny4lif: Na you dey mind them. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea don't hide failed launches but these boys don't like the truth. Iran still had a failed payload that couldn't deploy in space last week I'm waiting for the day the would say Iran too hides its failures. Any thing to defend their master uncle Sam's failure. |
Re: US Hypersonic Missile Fails Anew In Third Trial by Hanibbal(m): 4:46pm On Jan 06, 2022 |
emae009: Do you know one funny thing about you guys? If U.S. was the first country to test and deploy this hypersonic systems successfully you guys would say Russia and China stole the technology from U.S. but I am glad how U.S is failing before your very eyes while Russia and China are forging ahead with their hypersonic research and deployment. I can even say U.S. is the one trying to spy and steal the tech from Russia the way things are going cause only God knows when U.S. will get it right as Russia and China continue to leap like cheetah in this field. Even small North Korea has started its own hypersonic launch test. If Kim beats U.S. at it and deploy before U.S. e don finish be that o 1 Like |

Not only that South Korea government shocked me mostly South def missiles built by Russia companies then the latest anti ship missiles was a joint project by Russia and India company based on India missiles called Brahmos. South Korea def military said the USA anti missiles failed too much in the Middle East during wars MangekyoAlt: |

Re: US Hypersonic Missile Fails Anew In Third Trial by MangekyoAlt: 5:26pm On Jan 06, 2022 |
seunny4lif:US Patriot system is the most overrated missile defence in the world. So im not surprised that South Korea admitted its failures. So many countries have admitted to its failures. Saudi Arabia had them before na..... but after seeing how completely useless and overrated it is, started looking for other options. They first asked russia for its S-400. I don't know if they later bought it because they were also interested in the Iron dome. Turkey who is in Nato bought s-400 recently! I'm sure so many other countries would've gone for the better one but na USA dey fear them So no mind them. Na so dem dey do. They like overrating each other in the west & America! BBC watches from Nigeria are even wirse. You'll see them claiming secret technilogy and other delusional nonsense! |
