"The Air Force had hoped to conduct three successful tests of the AGM-183 this year so it could enter service in 2022.
The U.S. Air Force has failed for a third time to conduct a successful test of the rocket booster on a prototype AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon hypersonic missile, or ARRW. This can only add to the palatable frustration within the service, as well as elsewhere in the U.S. military and in Congress, about the progress, or lack thereof, in the testing of various new hypersonic weapons.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Command's Armament Directorate confirmed to The War Zone today that another attempted ARRW flight test had failed on Dec. 15, 2021. The Air Force says that it has not yet determined the cause of the issue that led to the test being aborted. The prototype missile never left the wing of the B-52H bomber carrying it. ..."

No problem, Xiden can just ask Xi for help. After all communist China stole the idea from NASA anyway.
Too busy making sure everyone is using the correct pronouns.
The hypersonic missile pronouns are he/hers, it can’t seem to stay on target.
Of course it did because our military is too busy being WOKE.
Maybe we should just buy them from the Chinese, they’ll sell us anything for a buck.
You know what would be amazing? Some actual commentary on the technical difficulties, instead os the tired and predictable avalanche of woke burns.
It self-identified as the Hindenburg
So China has a hpersonic missile, supersonic torpedo, rail gun, and we have none.
“The prototype missile never left the wing of the B-52H bomber carrying it.”
Good Lord, we’ve been dropping things from Buff wings since before the X-15.
But the crews are well trained in anti-racism and the mischief white devils have caused throughout history.
I trust the tests would have succeeded if the Trump administration was still in charge.
Back in the day when there were Old and Bold aviators
i know we are doing better with our laser weapons lately
hopefully everyone involved had their covid shots!
/s
We should just hack them back and take their sh!t the way they do to us on a regular basis.
But we have a tranny admiral.
"Affirmative" action? Too busy taking CRT training?
How much credibility do we give this “story”?
When the objective seems to keep up one scare after another scare? When the objective seems to demoralize us? When the objective is to give up fighting? Would the intelligence services want us to even accurately report we had a successful hypersonic missile?
According to Wikipedia the US has had a hypersonic two stage bumper rocket since 1949. Although perhaps we have not ramped up production of them. If so, why would we announce we have no such weapon successfully tested? Why would we trust what we’re being told about this when everything is a hoax?
