VS wil hypersonische raket tegen Iran inzetten

Back to overview

The U.S. military is considering deploying the Dark Eagle hypersonic missile, capable of striking targets up to 1,725 miles away, against Iranian positions in the Middle East. The request from U.S. Central Command aims to counter Iranian ballistic missile launchers that have moved beyond the range of existing Precision Strike Missiles. If approved, this would mark the first operational use of a hypersonic weapon by the U.S., though the Dark Eagle remains behind schedule and has not yet been officially declared combat-ready.
