Russia claims it has operational hypersonic weapons. China paraded theirs through Beijing. America? Still testing. Here’s the raw truth: building one hypersonic isn’t the problem. Making it reliable, deployable, and integrated into warfighting doctrine is. And that’s where the U.S. excels. Skeptics scream “we’re behind.” Insiders whisper “we’re refining.” The real question is whether the U.S. needs hypersonics to stay on top — or whether our existing mix of stealth, precision, and missile defense already makes the rivals’ toys less threatening. should America pour billions into a hypersonic sprint, or double down on the proven tools that already dominate? #Military #Defense #Strategy
