The U.S. Army’s Dark Eagle hypersonic missile is finally here — and it’s coming this December. After years of testing and setbacks, America’s first Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) battery is ready to go operational. Capable of striking targets over 1,700 miles away in minutes, Dark Eagle marks a new era in U.S. military power projection.
We try to break down everything about Dark Eagle — from its incredible Mach 5+ speed, range, and Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB), to its development by Lockheed Martin and Dynetics. We also explore how the U.S. stacks up against China’s DF-17, Russia’s Avangard, and other global hypersonic rivals racing for dominance.
This isn’t just another missile. It’s a game-changing strategic weapon that could redefine the future of warfare. Find out how the U.S. Army’s first hypersonic battery is preparing to enter service, what it means for deterrence, and why 2025 could be a pivotal year in the hypersonic arms race. #DarkEagle #HypersonicMissile #USArmy #militarytechnology ******************************* Combat Wire brings you the latest military news, defense updates, and tactical insights.
