American military company Raytheon will create missiles against supersonic weapons

The development and creation of weapons will be undertaken by Raytheon Missiles & Defense. Raytheon GPI will use components already used in other rocket and hypersonic programs.

The GPI is designed to intercept hypersonic weapons in flight and provides the United States and its allies an additional level of protection against regional threats from hypersonic missiles.
– Reports Raytheon Technologies.

At the planning stage, the development cost is estimated at $62 million, of which $21 million was spent in the early stages of the program.

Why is the US creating hypersonic anti-missile weapons?

In late May, Russia announced successful tests of the hypersonic missile “Zircon”. Avangard hypersonic units may be part of the equipment of the widely advertised Sarmat missile, which the Russians threaten other countries with.

The United States does not shy away from the real threat of a country that likes to “prevent” wars with its neighbors, so they decided to create a new supersonic weapon to intervene.

Also, China is developing similar weapons. India also has interests, but such weapons are expected to appear there in 5-6 years (and without the help of Russia). So creating hypersonic missiles for the United States is now a logical step.

Russia continues to kill

On Monday, June 27, the invaders shot down X-22 missiles in Kremenchuk. As a result of the attack, the Amstor shopping center, which hosted about 1,000 visitors, was destroyed by two bullets. The missile attack resulted in a large-scale fire covering more than 10,000 square meters.

Emergency crews continued to dismantle the wreckage all night: 440 people (including 14 psychologists) and 70 units of equipment were involved in the study.

As of the morning of 28 June, it was learned that the number of people who lost their lives in the missile attack on a shopping center in Kremenchug during the night increased to 18, and 59 people remained as a result of the attack. 25 people were hospitalized.

It is known that the missiles were launched from Tu-22 M3 bombers in the sky over the Kursk region. The act of international terrorism was not ignored, and on 28 June analysts were able to identify the names of Russians who may have been involved in a war crime.
