The US Ground forces showed elements of the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) complex. They will be used for training purposes.

The Long Range Hypersonic Weapon is one of the most significant and at the same time ambitious projects of the US Army. It is aimed at obtaining a new system of hypersonic weapons, which would act as something like a "long arm" of the Ground Forces.

Now the Americans have publicly shown the first containers for a promising weapons system that they want to use for training purposes. They have the same design as those that will contain combat samples of long-range hypersonic weapons.

The LRHW is a medium-range solid-fuel ballistic missile equipped with a guided maneuvering hypersonic warhead. Earlier, we could see a model of this complex.

The LRHW program is only part of the American effort to create the hypersonic weapons of tomorrow. No less significant are the projects for the Air Force, in particular the AGM-183 ARRW missile, the demonstrator of which we could see back in 2019. The [...] B-52H bomber then acted as its carrier.
