Hypersonic Missiles: Hypersonic weapons travel at Mach 5 or faster, using scramjet engines or boost-glide technology to maneuver unpredictably during flight. Unlike ballistic missiles, they fly lower and can change course, evading traditional missile defenses. Russia’s Avangard and Kinzhal, China’s DF-ZF, and the U.S. AGM-183A ARRW represent this race. Their speed and agility compress decision-making timelines, posing strategic threats. Development involves extreme heat management, guidance systems, and propulsion. Testing is highly classified. These weapons aim to defeat missile defense networks, ensuring rapid global strike capability. Their emergence is reshaping military doctrine and arms control, marking a new era in high-speed warfare.
