AUKUS Allies Unite to Develop Hypersonic Weapons

The US, UK, and Australia enhance defense collaboration with a new hypersonic missile agreement.

The AUKUS pact's second pillar focuses on advanced military capabilities, including hypersonic weapons, to counter global threats.
Hypersonic weapons travel at speeds of Mach 5 or higher, making them challenging to intercept.
The agreement includes up to six joint hypersonic test flights by 2028, with a budget of $258 million.
The collaboration aims to integrate resources and expertise from all three nations to expedite hypersonic technology development.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to maintain military superiority and ensure regional stability.
