The latest test of a US hypersonic weapon failed after an “anomaly” occurred during the first test of the full system, the Pentagon said Thursday.
The test, carried out at the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii, was supposed to launch the Common Hypersonic Glide Body atop a two-stage missile booster. The booster is designed to launch the system and accelerate it to hypersonic speeds in excess of Mach 5, at which point the glide body detaches and uses its speed to reach the target. It was the first time the entire system was tested, called an All Up Round test.
...
The previous test of the Common Hypersonic Glide Body, a joint venture between the Navy and Army, also ended prematurely when the booster rocket failed. Without the booster rocket, the Pentagon could not proceed with a test of the Common Hypersonic Glide Body.

No matter.
Our conventional missiles can identify as hypersonic missiles and paint the rainbow flag on them for additional diversity points.
Part of me believes that these tests are all for show and that our enemies know it.
....and we are another step forward to a reliable system.
It’s why it was a test flight. We can all avoid failure by never doing anything.
Yeah, I forgot about that.
What the hell is going that CNN would have this with that level of detail?
Part of you is quite wise.
“We can all avoid failure by never doing anything.”
But—remember, training is very important in the 2022 US Armed Forces:

Typical American reaction: “Oh well, hope they get it right soon”
Freeper russian bot: “YES”
Spreading homosexual propaganda will destroy counties faster than hypersonic missiles anyways.
You noticed that, too.
I destest CNN, and normally avoid posting it as a source to deny it hits, but overruled myself in this instance because of that detail.
However, I cannot explain CNN's unusual detail other than some form of adjusted Narrative.
More STICKING IT TO PUTIN!!!! I guess.
Military IQ and defense secrets are without protection when the rats have the power. So CNN has the news of both a weapon failure and why. Who could forget the Clintons giving the ChiComs missile tech that advanced their program ten years in a matter of months
Hey it’s rocket science
Sort of reads like the Navy issued a press release doesn’t it?
No, the typical American Patriot reaction is:
With all the talent and innovation in America, there is no excuse for the American Military NOT being supplied these weapons ten years before the Russians even thought of them.
The Reason this did not happen is Policy Imposed by the Traitor Far Left Liberal Socialist Democrat Party, the Traitor Far Left Liberal Socialist American Media, the Traitor Far Left Liberal Socialist American Public Education, the Traitor Far Left Liberal Socialist University System, and the Traitor Far Left Liberal Socialist Entertainment Industry.
The typical American Prole reaction is your: Oh well, hope they get it right soon...
All three of those points are true and accurate.
I’m confused.
Wasn’t there news that Russia has a 20Mach missile that is functional?
So why the excitement about a “slow” 5Mach missile be the test successful or not?
Isn’t 20Mach faster than 5Mach?
(gosh, this math is hard!)
I cannot disagree or find fault with any of your points.
