However, the very fact that the US is seriously considering the recycling of the ARRW program that was already canceled twice due to excessive costs, unreliability, repeated test failures, lack of progress in improving the design, etc. is very telling. As all other programs failed, the US is now desperate to at least match previously mentioned regional powers such as North Korea and Iran. What's more, the latter very likely also gave its hypersonic missiles to allies in the Middle East (specifically in Yemen), making America's embarrassment all the worse.
