Britain and the US have jointly tested a hypersonic rocket engine, the British Defence Ministry said.
‘British scientists have completed a key test of a hypersonic engine made possible through close co-operation between the UK government, industry and the US government,’ the British cabinet said in a press release on its website.
The propulsion system is designed to power a prototype advanced hypersonic cruise missile, the ministry explained.
Earlier, retired military observer Colonel Viktor Litovkin spoke to RT about the specifics of Russia’s new weapons, some of which are in the final stages of testing, while others have already been delivered to the frontline.
