Contradiction?[edit]

The article seems a bit contradictory. It says in one section "It had yet to enter testing before the Typhon project was cancelled", but immediately below that (in the section "Operational history"), it says "In March 1961, the first test launches of the SAM-N-8 Typhon LR took place." I would think "test launches" would be part of "testing"-- no? Mcswell (talk) 19:23, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
