Dark Eagle Anti-Missile System:
The United States of America has developed a new anti-missile system called Dark Eagle and is nearing operational readiness after a successful test flight.
- Dark Eagle Anti-Missile System is a long-range hypersonic anti-missile system developed by the United States of America, which is capable of intercepting enemy missiles in mid-air.
- It is capable of stopping ballistic, cruise, hypersonic missiles and warheads.
- It has an operational range estimated at over 2,775 kilometers (1,724 miles), enabling it to strike targets deep within adversary territory.
- The system’s ballistic missile features two stages, one of which includes a hypersonic glide warhead (C-HGB) capable of reaching extreme speeds of Mach 17, making interception particularly difficult.
- With a C-HGB warhead capable of reaching speeds between 3000 and 3700 meters per second at altitudes below 50 km, this missile is designed to challenge and potentially surpass the capabilities of Russia’s S-300V4, S-400, and S-500 air defense systems.
