Trump Announces New Military "Super Range" for Advanced Weapons in Montana
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the Department of War is establishing a new military testing range in Montana for advanced weapons and technologies. He made the announcement at a campaign rally in Kalispell while seeking to boost Republican candidates in the state.
The president described the facility as a "new super range for testing advanced weapons and technologies." The announcement came during an event at Majestic Valley Arena and follows a similar move in which Trump revealed plans for a new submarine repair center in Ohio during a recent rally in that battleground state.
Trump said the Pentagon would use the range to test possible autonomous weapons, space and electronic warfare technology, supersonics, and hypersonics. The announcement was made at the Montana rally as the president worked to support Republican candidates in the state.
The president framed the new facility as central to testing a range of emerging military capabilities. He described it as a "new super range" dedicated to advanced weapons and technologies.
Trump presented the Montana testing range as part of his effort to boost Republican candidates during the campaign rally, mirroring his earlier announcement of a submarine repair center in Ohio.
