The weapon that Russia and China don't have/ The US could use the
"Dark Eagle"

The United States is considering deploying a hypersonic missile, known as "Dark Eagle," to the Middle East at a time of high tensions with Iran and uncertainty about the continuation of the ceasefire.

According to Bloomberg reports, the request for the deployment of this system came from the US Armed Forces Central Command.

The main reason is related to estimates that Iran has moved some of its ballistic missile launchers out of range of current American weapons, such as the Precision Strike Missile, which can hit targets over 482 kilometers away.

If this plan is approved, it would be the first time the Dark Eagle hypersonic weapon has been used operationally. The system, also known as the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), has an estimated range of about 2,776 kilometers and is designed to destroy strategic targets and fortified installations.

The cost of a single missile is around $15 million, and their number is limited, with estimates suggesting fewer than eight units available. Meanwhile, a complete launch system could cost around $2.7 billion.

These developments come at a delicate moment, as a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran has been in place since early April. However, tensions remain high and negotiations for a peace deal have failed to yield results.

US President Donald Trump has left open the possibility of resuming military action. He recently defended the blockade on Iranian oil exports, which has entered its 16th day, describing it as very effective.

He also rejected a proposal from Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping in exchange for postponing talks on its nuclear program.

So far, there is no official confirmation of the deployment of the "Dark Eagle" system, while countries such as Russia and China have already developed similar hypersonic weapons, further increasing the global military race.
