In the United States of America, the second stage of the solid-fuel rocket engine of a hypersonic missile was tested. This was announced on Thursday, August 26, according to the Defense News publication.

"The Office of the Strategic Systems Program of the US Navy (Navy) successfully conducted a test of the second stage of a solid-fuel rocket engine on August 25 at Promontory in Utah," the material says.

The publication noted that the tests are an extremely important stage on the way to creating a hypersonic missile that will be deployed simultaneously by both the Navy and the Ground Forces.

It is noted that the developer of the rocket engine is the American corporation Northrop Grumman.

In May, the US military revealed the details of the new American weapons. It is noted that a long-range hypersonic missile, or LRHW, is capable of reaching a speed 17 times higher than the speed of sound, and can hit targets at a distance of almost 2.8 thousand km.

At the same time, in early April, it became known that the United States failed during the tests of a hypersonic missile. It was noted that the first tests of the Air Force hypersonic launch vehicle did not go as planned. The ARRW test rocket has not completed its launch sequence.

On March 22, the Control and Budget Office of the American Congress (GAO) published a report in which the United States recognized that they do not have enough developed technologies to create hypersonic weapons. In this regard, the program of its deployment can be implemented with a long delay.
