- The US conducted the first operational deployment of the Dark Eagle hypersonic missile system during the 2025 Talisman Sabre drills in Australia.
- This mobile launcher system enables precision strikes at hypersonic speeds over distances up to 2,700 kilometers.
- China condemned the deployment, warning it could destabilize the region and trigger an arms race.
- US military leaders stress that forward-positioned missile assets are crucial for defending Taiwan and maintaining Indo-Pacific stability.
Defending Taiwan and preserving Indo-Pacific stability demands forward-deployed missile, sensor and command systems across allied territories.— Admiral Paparo emphasized this in his testimony before the US Senate in April 2025.
