One of the most advanced weapons systems in the world is the 'Dark Eagle'.
These are hypersonic missiles, which 'fly' to the target in a calculated and maneuverable manner like a smart aircraft - at a speed of 6,000 - 7,000 kilometers per hour. The missile is capable of hitting a target at a distance of up to 3,500 kilometers.
According to reports, the US Central Command requested to place a battery in the Middle East, after receiving intelligence that Iran had moved missile launchers deep into Iranian territory - a location that is inaccessible to the precision missiles they have used so far against Iran.
The unit that operates these missiles already began receiving the operational missiles at the beginning of the year.
Ten days ago, it was announced that the US Army had signed a production contract with Lockheed Martin worth approximately $2.7 billion to accelerate the acquisition of the system.
If the United States military uses missiles against Iran, it will be the system's first operational activity, and the first operational use of ground-based hypersonic missiles in the history of warfare.
So far, it was Russia that used hypersonic missiles in the war against Ukraine, but these were small missiles launched from aircraft and ships from the sea, not from the ground.
