While the Pentagon has pushed the development of new hypersonic missiles, the Army isn’t slated to field its first missile until 2024.

Is this real? I was happy till it said Russia also has a hypersonic weapon and then I felt it may just be USS Maine style propaganda.

    hypersonic weapons are/have been a doctrinal goal of both the PRC and Russia, as a means of countering US carrier groups, which is why theirs are more advanced than the US' hypersonic program.
