In the future, the newly recreated 56th Artillery Command of the U.S. Army in Germany will have at its disposal a number of currently being created samples of the latest American weapons, writes The Drive.
The publication recalls that during the Cold War, this formation was responsible for the MGM-31C Pershing II medium-range nuclear missiles, which were withdrawn from service after the signing of the US and the USSR, which had already terminated the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF).
The Drive writes that the new weapons that the United States plans to deploy in Europe will solve approximately the same tasks at a new technological level as the Cold War-era missiles that were decommissioned. The publication mentions, in particular, a promising hypersonic missile Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), called Dark Eagle ("Dark Eagle"), a multifunctional Typhon system that allows launching a variety of missiles from one installation, including RIM-174 Standard Extended Range Active Missile (ERAM) and Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM), and Precision Strike Missile (PrSM).
In June, the US Army demonstrated a possible scenario for the use of a PrSM missile, called the "killer" of Russian air defense systems, for example, the S-400 Triumph.
In May, Popular Mechanics magazine wrote that the US Army's LRHW missile, launched from London, is capable of hitting Moscow during a military conflict.
