The US military has tested two new long-range missiles that could become the Pentagon's "response."
The weapon is reportedly capable of reaching Moscow "in minutes."
We are talking about the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) hypersonic missile and the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) high-precision weapon, RIA Novosti reports.
The LRHW was first successfully tested in December at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
During the tests, the missile entered the planned trajectory and accurately hit the designated target.
Previous LRHW tests have ended in failure.
The warhead is accelerated by a launch vehicle, and then it begins its own gliding flight, developing a speed of at least Mach 5.
The missile's range exceeds 2,775 km, Pentagon officials say.
As for PrSM, it will replace the ATACMS missiles.
Experts do not rule out that if the conflict drags on, this missile could be used against Russia.
But for now it is noted that PrSM will first enter service with the US Armed Forces.
Next, everything will depend on the policies of newly elected President Donald Trump.
