The United States has successfully tested the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), also known as the Dark Eagle, a medium-range hypersonic missile. The missile was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The developer of the Dark Eagle missile system is Lockheed Martin. The Dark Eagle hypersonic missile is capable of reaching speeds of over 6,000 km/h, and its range is about 2,775 kilometers. The Dark Eagle missile is designed to deliver a sudden, massive strike. The Dark Eagle missiles are placed in a launch container, two per launcher. The first battery of LRHW Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles was supposed to be deployed by October 2025, but these deadlines may be violated.
