In light of these developments, the United States is collaborating with the United Kingdom and Australia to develop hypersonic weapons technology. These advanced weaponry systems are designed to reach altitudes of up to 300,000 feet and exhibit a high level of maneuverability, making them extraordinarily difficult to detect and intercept.
This move comes amid rising apprehensions regarding advancements made by rival nations. Despite facing tactical setbacks in Ukraine, Russia has claimed the use of its hypersonic missile in combat. Similarly, China has demonstrated its capabilities by launching a hypersonic weapon last year, which successfully circumnavigated the globe while traveling over five times the speed of sound.
