US

The Pentagon is looking to fast-track the development of hypersonic weapons programmes in order to keep up with Russia and China, unnamed sources told POLITICO.

  • "On Feb. 3, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin plans to meet with the CEOs of about a dozen defense companies to attack the problem, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations."
  • "The meeting comes after the military services delivered budget proposals for fiscal 2023 that Austin believed did not adequately speed up development and fielding of the weapons in order to keep up with Chinese and Russian advances, the people said."
  • Note that earlier this year North Korea said it successfully tested a hypersonic missile earlier this month, although its real capabilities remain unknown.
