With all this talk of Hypersonic missiles I’ve wonder if a type of laser could potentially defeat any incoming missile, even at mach 5-8 it’s still not faster than a laser beam...

I know it sounds like something out of Star Trek but why not, we know lasers exist, the military has been working on them for years, IMO, it could happen that hypersonic weapons become obsolete before they are widely deployed...
