Pentagon: Australia may participate in the development of hypersonic weapons


The United States and Australia are working on the possibility of joint creation of hypersonic weapons, said US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on July 28. Esper said this in Washington at a joint press conference of the heads of foreign and military departments of the United States and Australia following the results of a new round of negotiations in the format of 2 + 2. "We have had a very wide range of discussions on the potential of the United States and on the potential of Australia. And our desire to advance it in hypersonic or any other type of weapons, the Pentagon chief said. At the same time, he emphasized that this is especially important in relation to the situation of relations with China. I think this is important for the future, for deterring bad behavior in the Indian and Pacific oceans, where we defend the international order and the rules that underpin it. In this case, in relation to China, Esper explained. In turn, Australian Defense Minister Linda Reynolds said that the parties are exploring the possibilities of cooperation not only on hypersonic weapons, but also on space systems and electronic warfare. According to the news agency, the United States has repeatedly stated the need to catch up with Russia and China in the field of hypersonic weapons.
