The US's Problem with Hypersonic Missiles
Here’s the US’ BIG Problem with China’s new Hypersonic Missile!
A hypersonic missile is any missile that can travel at Mach 5 or higher, or around 3836 mph. Though some missiles, like Russia’s Kh-47M2 Kinzhal, can travel an insane 7672 mph, or Mach 10.
Recently, China has been developing new nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles that orbited the entire world and only missed its target by 20 miles.
Currently, the US does not have the missile defense systems capable of fending off a hypersonic missile, leaving their major cities sitting ducks. To make matters worse, it has no hypersonic missiles of its own!
