An upgraded version of Iran’s own hypersonic missile, the Fattah-2 was unveiled in Nov. 2023

Problems with the launcher and launch sequence of the new Long Range Hypersonic Weapon System will keep the U.S. Army from fielding its first LRHW battery until fiscal 2025, a government watchdog said Monday.
The service aims to fix the problems and test the missile and launcher together no later than the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report.
Even a successful launch might not be the end of the Army’s worries. Service officials told the GAO that problems with missile performance in flight testing could further delay the program. They expect to have the eight missiles required for a battery ready within 11 months after a fielding decision is made, according to the GAO.
The Army originally said it would field the first battery in fiscal year 2023, but admitted in September 2023 that it would miss that deadline. The LRHW has failed several tests since 2021, some of which were attributed to problems with the missile itself. In 2023, two tests were canceled after problems were found in the launcher and launch sequence, the GAO said.
The LHRW is a ground-launched hypersonic missile, meaning that it can travel at least five times the speed of sound while being maneuverable enough to evade air defenses. The LHRW is designed to travel more than 3,800 miles per hour to strike targets up to 1,725 miles away.
U.S. officials have described an “arms race” against China for hypersonics development, a field that Russia also invests in. In 2023, Ukraine shot down six Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, although experts noted that they were not the maneuverable type of missile typically referred to under the umbrella term of “hypersonics.” In February, Russia attacked Ukraine with the Zircon hypersonic missile for the first time.
Still, the weapons face problems with navigation due to their high speeds, which may also make them easier to target. The weapons are also costly, limiting the number that can be produced even as Pentagon officials emphasize the importance of munitions stockpiles. A Congressional Budget Office calculated that a missile similar to the LRHW would cost as much as $41 million per shot.
Because the USA is discouraged from being a White country: everyone knows it would do well in technology if it were one. Jews tell all Whites not to be racist, so that all the work of all your ancestors was a waste of time and you had better trash them all. So trash the Jews, White Man
The report stated “The missile explodes perfectly, it just does so randomly”
Guess our leaders are going to war for us to lose again. Always-unnamed banking cabals, mostly flying communist flags of convenience, will conquer the US using alien forces to do their dirty work — as usual. They start wars, sit back, and wait for both sides to lose. It’s that simple. Then they rule by using fake money, called fiat, the source of economic slavery.
superfluous ! they have space laser + TR-3B laser

Most people still haven’t figured it out yet so here it is:
After decades of intentionally dismantling the industrial/manufacturing base of America/Europe & transporting its factories/technology to Asia/Latin America we are now witnessing the next stage in the Overlords program. The Semitic Overlords are simply phasing out the West/white race now & transitioning their seat of global power/control to BRICS vis a vis their new nonwhite techno-Communist A.I./wog world they’re forming/implementing–as they intend to extinguish the white race sometime this century. Now you know what’s really going on.
This is not even the most embarrassing. The Jewnited Snakes have stolen the technology from Russia for which 2 people there were put in prison for selling it in the last few years and a few more recently.
And even with the stolen russian technology the rat empire has not been able to succeed so far.
Also reports of Daggers (Kinzhal) missiles shot down in Ukraine are fake. The images of the debris of the alleged shot down missiles have been ridiculed as silly primitive fakes trying to pass parts of an aerial bomb for components of the hypersonic missiles. Not a single such missile has been shotdown yet even with a reported launch of 32 Patriot missiles against 1 hypersonic ( according to estimates it would require shooting 50 such missiles simultaneously to intercept one hypersonic, which apparently has never happened in practice)
“In 2023, Ukraine shot down six Kinzhal hypersonic missiles”
Is that a fact? Sounds like total BS to me. What did the Ukies shoot down a Hypersonic missile WITH? LOL! Bullshit!
