The Pentagon’s new budget request has revealed the secret of the military department’s immediate plans. It turns out that the US Air Force wants to test a mysterious universal air-to-air missile.

It is planned to launch the combat unit from a fighter. Sources say that a distinctive feature of the innovation is its modular design.

According to the latest data, a promising product can receive both the main modular module and the modular accelerator. In this case, it is possible that the engineers put on the rocket the ability to replace the engine.

Foreign journalists believe that the latter will increase the adaptability of missile weapons to different carriers and missions, reduce costs and simplify logistics.

Note that neither the date (or date) of the tests, nor the tactical and technical characteristics of the missile are still unknown.
