China Shocked! US Air Force is Testing the Deadliest Rapid Dragon Bomb
In November 2022, the annual NATO air-sea exercise ATREUS 22-4 off the coast of Norway featured an interesting novelty - the Rapid Dragon palletized missile weapon system, developed by the well-known American company Lockheed Martin. This weapon is a conventional transport pallet with four low-observable cruise missiles AGM-158B JASSM-ER. This pallet was loaded into a conventional MC-130J Hercules military transport aircraft for the exercise. Let us stress once again - an ordinary aircraft. It had not been upgraded in any way. With the help of roller guides the pallet "Rapid Dragon" was pushed to the opened in-flight cargo hatch of the plane, and then the parachute of the pallet pulled it overboard.
