Hypersonic Missiles
Beschreibung des Verlags
Hypersonic missiles travel at more than five times the speed of sound in the upper atmosphere — or about 6,200km per hour.
This is slower than an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) but the shape of a hypersonic glide vehicle allows it to maneuver toward a target or away from defenses.
Hypersonic missiles can also travel for longer without being detected by radar.
