It has become known about a new stage in the testing of the Dark Eagle medium-range missile system with the launch of a two-stage LRHW AUR medium-range ballistic missile with a 17-Mach C-HGB hypersonic glide vehicle. This is evidenced by the TEL towed launcher deployed at Cape Canaveral.
In the next one to two years, the complex is planned to achieve operational readiness and deployment in the MRBM position area in Germany in order to parry the potential of the Oreshnik hypersonic complex.
The speed of the C-HGB hypersonic unit at altitudes of less than 50 km is 3000-3700 m/s, which provides the possibility of countering it with the S-300V4, S-400, and S-500 SAM systems.
However, at altitudes above 80 km, only 53T6M anti-missiles of the A-235 system are capable of countering the C-HGB.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russia built a Tushil missile frigate for India with Kalibr, Onyx, and BrahMos missiles.
