bizarre ‘hypersonic’ weapon this month

The word ‘bizarre’ is not in the article title - which is: US hypersonic missile test.

here is nothing bizarre about these weapons.

This article is idiotic.
The Boeing X-51 Waverider is an unmanned research scramjet experimental aircraft for hypersonic flight at Mach 5 (3,300 mph; 5,300 km/h) and an altitude of 70,000 feet (21,000 m). The aircraft was designated X-51 in 2005. It completed its first powered hypersonic flight on 26 May 2010. After two unsuccessful test flights, the X-51 completed a flight of over six minutes and reached speeds of over Mach 5 for 210 seconds on 1 May 2013 for the longest duration powered hypersonic flight.
So, there has already been a successful test and it isn't bizarre.
