| 2025-08-18 |
| [Jpost] The United States Army has achieved a key military milestone with the first-ever overseas deployment of its Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) system, known as “Dark Eagle,” to Australia’s Northern Territory during the recent Talisman Sabre 2025 exercise. The deployment represents a clear signal to China of America’s growing hypersonic capabilities and determination to counter Beijing’s expanding military influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The Hawaii-based 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force transported the weapon system to Australia in July as part of the three-week multinational exercise that concluded in early August, involving over 40,000 personnel from 19 nations. This marks the first time the Dark Eagle has operated west of the International Date Line, demonstrating the US Army’s ability to rapidly deploy and operate advanced strike capabilities in forward environments. |
