Hypersonic weapons travel through the upper atmosphere at a speed five times faster than the speed of sound, or 6,200 km per hour. The hypersonic weapon is brought into flight under the wing of an aircraft before being launched towards its target. In previous tests, the hypersonic missile failed to detach. The announcement of successful tests comes after failed attempts and increased concerns over costs and the US slipping behind in what is a race among great powers to develop the best hypersonic weapons. What is your take on the current US hypersonic missile test?
