US Military to Test New Hypersonic Missile - Possibly
-
Airspace and maritime navigation warnings released to pilots and mariners suggest the US military might launch a hypersonic missile this week on a test flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
This test could be one of the final milestones before the US Army fields the nation's first ground-based hypersonic weapon, which is more maneuverable and more difficult for an enemy to track and destroy than a conventional ballistic missile. Russia has used hypersonic missiles in combat against Ukraine, and US defense officials have labeled China as the world's leader in emerging hypersonic missile technology.

All this talk about Russia's use of hypersonic weapons in Ukraine got me to thinking.
Does anyone really believe that the Russians have this weapon and we don't?
Just because we haven't talked about it, until recently, doesn't mean that we don't have it.
