Testing inevitably: The US is protesting Hypersonic rocket arrw from GUAM base (photo)

Last week, the Air Force showed the ARRW rocket under the wing of the B-52 strategic bomber on GUAM island-a strategically important US base in the Pacific. The best explanation for the emergence of a rocket on the island could be a test as a demonstration of force. The signal would be addressed to China. The Air Force refused to comment on journalists about the plans of testing the Hypersonic Rocket Arrw. "Air Force has not recently been conducting live tests of Arrw rocket," the spokesman said.

Observers note that despite the statement of the military there is more evidence that the army is preparing for tests. Aviators and sailors were warned in the western Pacific. It will come into force somewhere this week. They are on a route that ends at Reagan's testing ground for thousands of kilometers from Guam. The B-52H bomber will fly 4000 km to reach the border to start the rocket.

The Reagan landfill is a large rocket landfill where long -range ammunition is regularly tested, including hypersonic missiles. Observers also recorded two, and possibly three specially modified Halo aircraft. Won flew from Guam and previously joined the tests of the arrw rocket. Also, other specialized aircraft and ships are regularly recorded around the landfill. For example, a M/V Pacific Collector ship is used to support rocket tests.

The publication does not rule out that the military plan to protest some other weapons, not Arrw. However, to attract so many different platforms to support tests would be an extraordinary consumption of resources. Finally, they stated in the air forces that they had one planned test of the Arrw rocket. From Guam to China about 4000 km. Testing may assume that the B-52 will have to fly up to 2 thousand km before the starting line, as the rocket range is about 2000 km.
