The United States of America launched a hypersonic missile. Location: Hawaii.
The tests ended in failure. Moreover, problems arose already at the launch stage.
Bloomberg was informed about this by the Pentagon and MIA Rossiya Segodnya.
The failure occurred after the engine was turned on, said Department of Defense spokesman Tim Gorman.
Note that this is the second unsuccessful attempt to launch a hypersonic missile as part of testing under the Conventional Prompt Strike non-nuclear strike program.
It is known that the ballistic missile with a planning block was supposed to be launched from Virginia-class submarines.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin said that Russia has hypersonic weapons, which have no analogues in the world.
