New US strike capability - Falcon

Post by Coito ergo sum » Fri Nov 26, 2010 8:09 pm

The Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle is designed to skim the top of the atmosphere just below space, and is a key element of the Pentagon's Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) capability — a program to build non-nuclear strategic weapons that can strike conventionally anywhere in the world in less than an hour.

Ah, the USA, land of the weapon manufacturers and war mongers. Always coming up with a new way to blow you up, just not in the USA of course.

Is anyone in here an American? I'm going to invade a country next month and need to get some shipments of missiles and machine guns. How much do I have to buy for a free warship?
