According to Global Network , after repeated setbacks, the US Air Force hypersonic "air-firing rapid response weapon" AGM-183A finally ushered in a rare success. The US Defense News website stated that the US military's "air-firing rapid response weapon" conducted its first test and was successful. Some military experts pointed out that this type of missile is the "competitive bomb" of the US Air Force in the field of hypersonic weapon , but China and Russia have long been far ahead in this field. The reason why the

AGM-183A missile is considered to be the "focused bomb" of the US Air Force is because the plan failed three consecutive test firings in 2021, which was criticized by the US Congress and cut approximately $161 million in procurement funding requests from in 2022 fiscal year, citing repeated failures and delays in testing of the missile project plan. After the successful test launch, the US Air Force will no longer have to worry about the procurement budget being cut. The successful test launch of the

missile can finally make the US Air Force proud. In this way, not only can we obtain more military budgets, but we can also narrow the gap with Russia and China's hypersonic weapons. US military experts, because the development time of the US Air Force's AGM-183A has a certain latecomer advantage compared with the Russian "Dagger" supersonic missile, but they can only use this to masturbate.

It’s no wonder that the US Air Force is so concerned about the AGM-183A missile, because it is not only related to whether the budget can be achieved as expected, but more importantly, it is a matter of face. You should know that the concept of hypersonic missile was first proposed by the United States and was also the first to invest heavily in development. As a result, the two opponents of China and Russia were the first to develop hypersonic missiles and were first to be equipped with troops. Especially Russia, its "Dagger" hypersonic missile has been put into actual combat on the Ukrainian battlefield, demonstrating its unparalleled penetration and destruction capabilities.

When the U.S. hypersonic missile research and development field is still struggling to overcome difficulties, a wave of developing hypersonic missiles has already set off in the world. In addition to the two major military powers of China and Russia, Iran and North Korea have also developed their own hypersonic weapons in recent years. The performance doesn’t matter, but the important thing is that they are no less than the United States in this field.

In addition, Japan and South Korea are also investing huge amounts of money recently to prepare for great success in the field of hypersonic weapons research and development. The United States is the only superpower in the world, and its economy, military and technology are ahead of other countries around the world. The US military's lack of strength in the field of hypersonic missile research and development is far behind its opponents such as China and Russia, leaving the US imperial faceless.

The US military has been unable to develop useful hypersonic missiles. Not only is the Pentagon anxious, but the White House and Congressional politicians are also anxious to curse. Former US President Trump even instructed the US military to change the Militia-3 intercontinental missile to a "hypersonic missile" used for conventional strikes, ensuring that the US military can "attack any target around the world within an hour."

So, the successful test launch of the US Air Force hypersonic missile is not only a "striving bomb" for the US Air Force, but also a "striving bomb" for the White House, Congress and the Pentagon politicians. In the United States, not only the Air Force is developing hypersonic missiles, but the Navy and the Army are also scrambling to develop such weapons. Some analysts believe that the Air Force's first test-fire hypersonic missiles can be "taken first" and can be valued and more financial support.

However, the successful test of a weapon does not mean that it can be equipped with troops in a short period of time. On the contrary, the US Air Force's AGM-183A missile still needs a long testing phase before it can be put into force. What else will happen during this period is unpredictable. The US military has a much deeper understanding of this point than the armies of other countries. After all, the uncertainty of American politics makes the weapons research and development projects it invests in may be stopped at any time, such as the previous Comanche new generation helicopter.

There is another issue that concerns the US military. Previously, US media disclosed that some key raw materials and components of the US military for manufacturing hypersonic weapons need to be imported from China.Against the current backdrop of the continued deterioration of Sino-US relations and the United States' export controls on high-tech products against China, it is completely unknown whether the United States can continue to import related raw materials and parts from China.

So, the successful test launch of the US Air Force hypersonic missile is to solve the problem or not, and it does not mean that this type of missile can be successfully developed. Even if R&D is successful and can be put into production, whether the United States has sufficient conditions to carry out large-scale production is another matter.
