Hypersonic Missile

Fearing China will deploy hypersonic weapons to sink ships in the Pacific, the U.S. Navy is moving forward with a plan to arm some of its vessels with Patriot interceptor missiles, two senior defense officials said.

Iran on Tuesday fired 200 missiles, including hypersonic weapons, at Israel as tensions in the Middle East reach breaking point. Israel has vowed that Iran will "pay" for the attack. But relations between the two countries were not always sour.

North Korea test-fired what appeared to be a hypersonic missile off its east coast on Wednesday, but it exploded in midair, South Korea's military said.

All these scientists had conducted theoretical work in areas relevant to the development of hypersonic missiles.

Collaborating with Space Force guardians, the launch aimed to validate the safety, security, effectiveness, and readiness of the weapon system.

Elderly Russian physicist Anatoly Maslov was sentenced on Tuesday to 14 years in a penal colony for treason, the latest of a string of cases against experts working on the science that underpins Russia's development of hypersonic missiles.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the test of a new ballistic missile designed to deploy a hypersonic glide vehicle that can deliver a nuclear payload, his state media reported, calling the test "an epoch-making success."

North Korea said on Wednesday it successfully test-fired a new mid- to long-range solid-fuel hypersonic missile, North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun said.

The weapon will be launched by an electromagnetic gun and could prove to be a game-changer on the battlefield.

Iran on Friday paraded its military hardware on the anniversary of its 1980s war with Iraq, including "the longest-range drone in the world" along with ballistic and hypersonic missiles, Iranian state media said.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers, hypersonic missiles and warships on Saturday, accompanied by President Vladimir Putin's defence minister.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Vladivostok on Saturday where he met Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and inspected a hypersonic aircraft missile system before boarding a warship.

Iran on Tuesday unveiled an intermediate range ballistic missile, which is its first-ever, according to Al-Jazeera. Named Fattah, it can travel at hypersonic speeds of up to 15 times the speed of sound and can penetrate missile defence system.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards unveiled an intermediate range ballistic missile Tuesday capable of travelling at hypersonic speeds of up to 15 times the speed of sound, state television reported.

Researchers have cast doubt on the real-world performance of these missiles and also questioned the motivation of the release of these documents.
