Artist’s rendering of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapon Concept cruise missile. DARPA illustration. Russia has deployed hypersonic missiles — those that travel five times the speed of sound — in its war against Ukraine, while the U.S. is still developing hypersonic missiles.
Hypersonic missiles have received heightened attention since Russia began deploying them in Ukraine. But they have existed for decades; since the 1950s, some missiles have qualified as hypersonic by traveling more than five times the speed of sound . These include intercontinental ballistic missiles, known as ICBMs, which can carry nuclear warheads from one continent to another.
One way these weapons can achieve long ranges with limited fuel is by deploying wings that allow them to"glide" for thousands of miles and maneuver without propulsion, at least for a limited time, Janda said. These are the kinds of advances that U.S. hypersonic missiles are expected to include. The U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force are each developing these missiles, and the Pentagon’s 2023 budget includes around $5 billion for the weapons.
Available information suggests that Russia’s weapons use decades-old technology, not the advances sought by the United States. This is also supported byJanda said there is no evidence that Russians can mass-produce the missiles,"and it also doesn’t mean their missiles are reliable. … so we should all take any claims regarding Russian hypersonic weapons with a huge grain of salt.". It circled the globe before hitting near its target.
