Erklärs dem US Kongress.
Aus dem aktuellen Sicherheitsbericht des US-Kongresses:
China and Russia are pursuing hypersonic weapons because their speed, altitude, and maneuverability may defeat most missile defense systems, and they may be used to improve long-range conventional and nuclear strike capabilities. There are no existing
countermeasures.

Der Oberbefehlshaber des US Strategic Commands, General John Hyten vor dem US Senat einräumen müssen, dass die Vereinigten Staaten gegen von Russland und China entwickelten Hyperschallwaffen nichts machen können.
"Both Russia and China are aggressively pursuing hypersonic capabilities," Hyten said at a Senate Armed Services hearing on Tuesday. "We've watched them test those capabilities."
When asked by Republican Senator Jim Inhofe, the committee chairman, what kind of defenses the US had against such weapons, the general responded, "our defense is our deterrent capability."
"We don't have any defense that could deny the employment of such a weapon against us," Hyten said.
