CNN: Air Force delays hypersonic missile program after flight test ‘anomalies’
The Air Force delayed its hypersonic missile program by up to a year after “recent flight test anomalies” pushed back the schedule for the weapon’s completion, according to a statement from the Air Force.
The AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) was supposed to reach early operational capability, an important milestone in weapon testing and development, before October.
But following a series of failures in flight tests last year, the Air Force postponed the first test of the complete missile and booster to sometime in the next fiscal year, which begins in October.
More tests will follow later in the year, the Air Force said. “The ARRW production decision remains event-driven and will occur after operational utility is demonstrated through successful system end-to-end flight tests,” the Air Force said.

why do they publish this information?
Especially after they already told their pawns in the media that the reason they didn't publish the results of last month's test was to "not provoke russia".
Lol it's possible with traitors in the house
They create division
They fuck your supply chains and energy
They undermine your global currency status
They plunder your public treasure, for decades now
They try to take your most holy rights
They sabotage your culture and media and education to control you
Think you're poor now?
Wait until they're done with you.
They want neofeudalism.
And they want the social credit score to enable it all.
They're control freaks because when you realise just how much they took from you, from me, from all humans, they know their time has come.
Their holy grail in this 5th generational warfare, which is directed at you from within and from outside, is full spectrum dominance. And that starts and ends with information, how you think and act on programming your sensory and decision making pathways. The more sensory inputs they can take over(think metaverse) the better, the same with your decision making pathways and programmable mode of actions (education, media, science)
They want to control your vectors of action and severity, over time, as a mass, and as individual.
You can and literally will be controlled through your own people, not in a democracy's good spirited way though -- that's over.
It's mass formation time, baby.
They're taking control of it from cradle to the grave.
Think zombies.
Not fully alive.
You'll be soon surrounded by them, reported by and through them.
Unless we stop /them/
Legally, peacefully.
The scramjet hypersonic is the game changing technology. The US mastered it by 2012, then shelved work on it after a couple successful test flights. That technology is far more difficult than the hypersonic work Russia and China have fielded.
Speed is critical, yes, but is not 100% of the problem. As any weapon the difficulties are on the requirements which are not necessarily the same with the Russian and the Chinese one. This is making hard to make any kind of comparison with our opponents.
Man wtf. Get this $hit finished and up to initial operational testing phase at Least. It's sickening these mighty defense contractors that are not patriotic, they rob us blind, can't do this yet. Just my opinion as always.
