Crap, even worse than I though. As they DO NOT say in the US Brass (because it’s true): “Quantity has a quality of its own.”. Sure would be nice if our military was capable of KEEPING SHIPS OPERATING (along with other systems), even while commissioning new ones.

They do not have a hypersonic glide vehicle. Just booster on older rockets.
