Well, my little minions, it was just announced that Australia has been developing Hyper-sonic Missiles that can be launched from land, sea and air for the past few years, and have been testing them in that time. Missiles with a speed of Mach 5.5
The project is a joint consortium between Australia, US and UK. Which also seems to suggest the AUKUS Sub deal was in the pipe many years before the French contract was cancelled.
These Missiles will be installed on Australian warships, and will be launch from RAAF Poseidon from this year. And there will be a Sub Launched variant as well. They will be fitted to the AUKUS Subs. They have even done dozens of tests at Woomera.
America has been developing this technology from the early 2000s - they just don't talk about it too much.
Here kitty kitty kitty....
Sounds like it is in the developing stage by the Americans as suppose to in developed and ready to go stage. Big difference. Russia has already used them by all accounts.
