I wonder (and fear) one of those tactics will involve control of chips....after the olypics. Taiwan is ripe for the taking.
Don't confuse military-industrial complex's marketing campaign with scientific fact.

When it comes time for war again we will run out of money to print to finance it, before it even begins. What good is a troop with the latest weapon but ran out of money to replace their weapons, and then we end up not using them? Some of our NATO allies refuse to the request for air support because if their hundred million dollar jet got shot down they are not reimbursed for it.
As mentioned ICBM is faster than hypersonic weapon in high altitude, and therefore even harder to intercept. The only advantage of hypersonic is they are closer to earth and therefore "in theory" harder to detect with radar, yet easier to detect with satellite thermal imaging.

I see the hypersonics as more of an 'area denial' threat to US naval supremacy more than a strategic nuclear one....
Maybe China and Russia have an edge with missiles/weapon systems, maybe not. But I think the US and Europe have an advantage in the development of a new generation of aero-spacecraft...
satellites will be the first thing taken out if something big goes down. Hence the latest Russian test that caused the ISS to adjust its altitude. There was a good reason for it. Knock out our 32 GPS sats, and we are blind.
and intel sats, and communication sats...
They only need to knock out the ones visible from russia anyway...
And as soon as SHTF in Ukraine and NATO/US commits, Taiwan will bite the bullet.

Well, there's one SR-71 left operating, might come out of retirement for the 3rd time, LMAO!
First we have starlink internet, then we will have starlink internet with military subsidies to put imaging sensors on it. How many starlink satellites can you take out in the end? You have to take them all out which can be in the hundreds if not thousands.
Folks sleep tight. The public statements made are for spin. I am retired (30 years) from a large defense contractor and without opening myself to the doors for Ft Leavenworth, I can assure you guys we are doing great and very likely ahead of the game. I did my last few years with Advanced Weapons and some of the programs I was working with I myself didn’t know much about them but knew superficial that they were some kinda missilery. Due to my obligations that is all I can say. There were others programs that were some kind of Bastardized programs that were to overwhelm the enemy missiles controls or so is what I was hearing from grapevine.
The debris fields might be taking the leftover out after a while?
Are you sure one SR-71 is still flying ?
Parts are extremely difficult to source for keeping one Mach 3+ aircraft ready to fly over ____ country.
I know there’s still a few F-117 Nighthawks filmed flying recently and on YouTube.

China's mysterious hypersonic test may take a page from DARPA's past - Breaking Defense
"Calling it 'breaking the laws of physics' does not lead to rational scrutiny," Secure World's Victoria Samson said of the recent Chinese hypersonic test.

We may have great weapons but when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs says that he would warn China before we attacked...and he still has his job...its not the weaponry that concerns me....
