US tests medium-range cruise missile after exiting INF treaty Washington, Aug 19 (AFP) Aug 19, 2019 The US Defense Department announced on Monday the test of a medium-range ground-launched cruise missile, just weeks after tearing up the Cold War-era pact with Russia eliminating such potentially nuclear-capable weapons. "The test missile exited its ground mobile launcher and accurately impacted its target after more than 500 kilometers of flight," the Pentagon said in a statement. "Data collected and lessons learned from this test will inform the Department of Defense's development of future intermediate-range capabilities." |
