The first high-quality footage of the launch of the LRHW AUR medium-range ballistic missile of the Dark Eagle complex with a 15-Mach C-HGB gliding hypersonic warhead during tests at Cape Canaveral has appeared online.
The first batteries of these complexes will likely be deployed in Wiesbaden between 2025 and 2027. The flight time of the C-HGB Glide Body Block 1 warheads to Moscow is 10.5 minutes, and to Yekaterinburg — 16.5 minutes.
Intercepting gliding warheads at altitudes above 80 km can be done with 53T6M anti-missiles of the A-235 complex, below 60 km — with 77N6-N/N1 anti-aircraft missiles of the S-500 systems, below 50 km — with 9M82MD and 48N6DM anti-aircraft missiles, as well as 40N6 anti-aircraft missile systems S-300V4 and S-400.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia has begun developing engines for a domestic reusable super-light rocket.
