Hypersonic Missiles Arms Race: What You Need to Know

Warfare is constantly shaped by technological innovation, and hypersonic missiles are a prime example of this evolution. They can travel at speeds exceeding five times the speed of sound, maneuvering with precision through the atmosphere, and striking targets before defenses even have a chance to respond.

As military technology advances at an unprecedented pace, hypersonic weapons, such as hypersonic glide vehicles and hypersonic cruise missiles, are becoming crucial components in national defense strategies.

As you might expect, there’s an ongoing intense arms race to develop hypersonic missiles. Several global powers are investing heavily in this military technology, recognizing its potential to redefine the future of warfare.

From Russian hypersonic missiles like the Avangard and Zircon and China's DF-17 missile and DF-ZF missile to Lockheed Martin Mako missile.

So, what makes these weapons so revolutionary? And why are they generating such intense concern on the world stage?
