Lockheed Martin has introduced a new multi -purpose Mako Hypersonic Mission (Video)

This is stated in the report of British Naval News dated April 10.

According to representatives of Lockheed Martin, this is the first case of a public demonstration of the hypersonic machine from the beginning of its development in 2016.

The demonstration video showed the moment of launching these missiles from the F-35A fighter.
