The U.S. Air Force announced this week that it tested a hypersonic missile over the Pacific Ocean. The military reportedly conducted the weapons test on Sunday via a B-52H Stratofortress taking off from a base in Guam. 'This test launched a full prototype operational hypersonic missile and focused on the ARRW's end-to-end performance,' an Air Force spokesperson said in a statement, according to Axios.
