Has Dongfeng Express encountered a competitor? US media hype that their own hypersonic missiles can reach the mainland from Guam?

Actually, when it comes to the hypersonic missile project, most people are not unfamiliar with it! After all, this can be said to be the most difficult missile to intercept at present, because it can achieve rapid breakthrough and precise strike. So far, except for the United States boasting that it can intercept hypersonic missiles.

At present, there is no public confirmation that this missile can be intercepted, so it is still a powerful strategic weapon at this stage, and this weapon is currently only officially deployed by China and Russia! Recently, the US media has started to hype up that the US already has hypersonic missiles, which can even reach the mainland from Guam!

In fact, from previous media reports, it is not difficult to see that the United States has been conducting tests on its own developed hypersonic missiles. After all, when the United States occasionally finds itself unable to win in the Asia Pacific confrontation, it will use this incident to try to increase its "deterrence power". So, is this media hype true?

According to media reports, the Third Field Artillery Regiment of the 17th Field Artillery Brigade of the US Army's First Army recently received the first batch of prototype hardware equipment for the "Dark Eagle" hypersonic missile. The US media has started to hype this up, stating that if the "Dark Eagle" hypersonic missile is deployed in Guam, it will be able to fly to the mainland and hit targets within a few minutes.

Because the 'Dark Eagle' can fly 3800 miles per hour, which is approximately 6115.5 kilometers per hour and 5 times the speed of sound, it can accurately strike targets up to 2736 kilometers away.

However, unfortunately, the American media is quite boastful, and their estimation of distance may not be accurate. It should be noted that Guam is at least 2800 kilometers away from our country in a straight line. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the Dark Eagle can hit its target! Unless the United States not only does not exaggerate the data of the Dark Eagle, but also slightly reduces it, is the United States the kind of country that will reduce its own data?

Furthermore, the US missile is actually targeting a certain Dongfeng hypersonic missile in China's "Dongfeng family". So, the question is, has "Dongfeng Express" really encountered a competitor?

Perhaps it's still too early to say this? Although the United States has withdrawn from the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and will inevitably develop its intermediate range missiles quickly in the future, China is not ashamed of this. After all, as far as the "Dark Eagle" is concerned, do you think it has already been deployed?

The "Dark Eagle" missile, which has suddenly been heavily hyped up by the US media, is not only not yet deployed, but the missile itself may even take at least two years to give the US Army a full view! Because the first batch of "Dark Eagle" hypersonic missile prototype hardware equipment received by the US Army this time only includes ground simulation training facilities.

That is to say, despite being hyped by the American media, the US Army still has only an empty shell, and even if it is used, it can only be trained using simulators. To truly use this missile, it will take at least two years.

Of course, the strength of the United States has always been significant. Although the "dark eagle" has not yet posed a real threat, we must remain vigilant and strive to improve our own level. After all, regardless of whether the US hype is true or not, everything is a paper tiger in the face of strong power.
