>The Air Force has said it plans to pursue both the ARRW and the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM), as initial and future hypersonic attack capabilities, respectively. These are offensive standoff weapons launched from air designed to hit time sensitive targets. The question is really what targets, like I said, spending the money on 3000 JASSMs is already enough to sink every major PLAN combatants with room to spare. Need to consider what these hypersonics can hit that traditional standoff weapons can't. Or just the politics behind aquisition between branches. I'm not saying this is bad/wasteful defense spending, but curious what it's exactly for.
