Why do you think they are telling “us.” If it were me, and there was a ton of bragging going on about “hypersonic” missiles from my enemies, how would you go about telling them, “Your missiles are cute...” without telling them you can just shoot them out of the sky.

The US is not telling “us”. They are telling our enemies.

You raise a good point but using the History Channel to tell our enemies instead of using some other medium more suitable for such seems a bit strange.

I would think our enemies might be unlikely to consider the History Channel a good source of intel re: U.S. weapons development.
