Pentagon FAILS yet another hypersonic weapons test after an 'anomaly' occurred during flight that was supposed to reach speeds of Mach 5: Russia and China both have successful hypersonic programs
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Pentagon says a problem occurred following missile ignition

  • China, Russia and North Korea are all pressing ahead with hypersonic programs

  • Trial marked the second unsuccessful test flight of the prototype weapon

  • A booster failure occurred in its first flight test in October, which prevented the missile from leaving the launch pad

  • Hypersonic weapons are capable of flight at speeds five times the speed of sound, and can maneuver mid-flight, which makes tracking them difficult
