On December 5, 2024, the Pentagon announced the success of the key flight test of the "multifunctional test bed for hypersonic technologies" (MACH-TB), which took place in November.

According to the US Department of Defense, the MACH-TB is a new generation hypersonic aircraft designed to accelerate the testing process of hypersonic systems. Its main purpose is to "simulate and test hypersonic conditions in real-world flight scenarios."

Although the United States has made significant strides in developing hypersonic weapons, they are far from the only ones engaged in this advanced technology. China and Russia have become key competitors in this area

- it is said in the Western press.

As indicated, the PRC has created a DF-17 glider, which can be equipped with both a nuclear and conventional warhead. Russia has deployed a number of hypersonic systems. Thus, the Avangard is capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 27.

The attention that the US military is paying to hypersonic is not only due to the need to keep up with China and Russia, but also in order to maintain a technological advantage that will be crucial in future conflicts.

- it is noted in the press.

For our part, we note that, despite the Pentagon's constant statements about successes in the field of hypersound, real achievements in this direction are not announced, perhaps due to their absence or rather modest results. The flight speed achieved during the flight tests of the MACH-TB demonstrator, which took place last month, was also not named.
