Original title: the US "Precision Strike Missile" broke the record in the test firing, and the US media quickly speculated: it is used to fight China and Russia
[global network reporter Xu Luming] the US arms giant revealed that the "Precision Strike Missile" developed for the US Army set a new range record in the test firing a few days ago. The US media hyped that this weapon will play an important role in the future in-depth attack of the US Army in order to "fight China and Russia".
The US "defense news" website reported on October 15 that according to the statement of Lockheed Martin on October 14, the US Army's "Precision Strike Missile" broke the range record in the flight test conducted at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on October 13.

It is reported that Loma and the U.S. Army have conducted five successful flight tests using "precision strike missiles". Loma did not disclose the specific flight distance of the "Precision Strike Missile" in the latest test, but said that the goal of the test is to accurately understand whether the missile can fly farther than the previously set range of 499 kilometers.
The report mentioned that the initially set maximum range of 499 kilometers was in accordance with the agreement of the US Russian "China missile defense treaty", but the United States launched the treaty in 2019, allowing the US Army to develop missiles with a longer range. "We will continue to verify the range and performance requirements of the precision strike missile," Paula Hartley, vice president of the Tactical Missile Division of Loma, which is responsible for the missile and fire control business, said in a statement
In addition, on September 30, the US Army approved the "Precision Strike Missile" to be put into the engineering, manufacturing and R & D stage, and awarded Loma a a contract worth US $62 million to produce missiles with early combat capability. The contract will drive the U.S. Army to deploy the weapon for the first time in fiscal 2023.

The report also said that the U.S. Army's "Precision Strike Missile" is a priority project to replace the active "Army Tactical Missile" system. It will play an important role in the future deep strike capability of the U.S. Army to counter the capabilities of Russia and China.
After the test firing in May this year, Loma said that the range of the "Precision Strike Missile" exceeded 400 kilometers, breaking the range record. Last year, the missile also conducted three test launches, with flight distances of 240 km, 180 km and 85 km respectively.
