Last Sunday, the US Air Force conducted a test launch of the AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW, over the Pacific. This missile was once slated to become America’s first in-service hypersonic weapon, but after a series of testing failures, now has an uncertain future.
Let’s talk about what this weapon is, what it’s capable of, and why it could provide the United States with a unique and utterly unmatched strike capability if it does make its way to service.

Sometimes the reason you're late to show up is because you're bringing a better present to the party.

And once again in the thick of it is the good old B-52.

US Air Force: We canceled the ARRW😔 Also US Air Force: We successfully tested the ARRW

Russia says it has a thing. America panics and throws one standard Luxembourg at making one of their own. Turns out the Russian one never existed. The American one works great. Tale as old as time.

Thank you for correctly defining hypersonic

Its always fun to watch a man who loves his work dive gleefully into his 'job'.😂 Reminds me of being a ski instructor in NE Italy.

Bro, literally everyone should watch your show. It’s easily the best military/technology reporting I’ve ever seen. I mean Simon is great and all, but your stuff cuts right into the root and the source. I’m always sharing your videos with a good ole “I told ya so”
