But the effectiveness of hypersonic missiles has already been proven in the 12-day Iran/Israel war, with Iran suspected of using hypersonic missiles that got through the 'Iron Dome' with ease despite all its various curtain of defense, causing all the damage to Israeli cities. These hypersonic missiles cannot be taken down by interceptor missiles like the Patriot, THAAD and whatever. The speed of hypersonic missiles just allows them to break through the 'Iron Dome' and makes those interceptors obsolete. Which is why the USA needed a truce between Iran and Israel, not otherwise. Israel has no defense against hypersonic missiles, and Iran has plenty of them.
Russia is also now using hypersonic missiles in Ukraine as well, which the USA via a vis NATO has still not been on board. Military establishments in the West are more interested in selling military equipment that caters to the mass and hypersonic developments have been sidelined. China, Russia and Iran have totally eclipsed them in this sector.

Ironically, not many reports cover the hypersonic missile issue and its effect on the USA and how it is doing to counter this new game changer in the hands of Russia, China and Iran. Not talking about it does not mean the problem for the USA will just go away. Only a war against Russia, China or Iran will wake up the clowns in Washington, thinking it is still way ahead in military technology. Just listen to Trump's grandstanding comments about how great the USA weapons are. And he even boasted about wanting to bomb Moscow and Beijing. We knew very well that the USA had broached the idea of nuking China many times before.
As Bruce Lee used to point out to those martial artists from Japan and South Korea hitting boards into fragments with bare hands trying to scare him. Bruce pointed out sarcastically that boards do not hit back, but he does. Same as USA hitting Moscow and China and getting retaliated against.
Russia and China will hit back at Washington, perhaps with weapons that Trump has never seen or thought of before. What Iran did to Israel is already enough for Trump to think about clearly what he could expect bombing Moscow or Beijing. With two on one, Trump has nowhere to hide. Trump is a coward only brave enough to bully the weak, if you remember him rushing to hide in a bunker after a skirmish at the White House related to the death of George Floyd in 2020 before Joe Biden took over.
If an attack on Moscow or Beijing really takes place and retaliation resulting in Gaza like destruction in Washington, Trump will yet again blame Joe Biden. The flood and death toll in Texas is now sure enough being blamed on Joe Biden. Thankfully, Joe Biden does not remember a thing. Dementia is bliss.
