The thing about hypersonic vehicles is that, while they orbit the Earth at hypersonic velocities - which makes them exceedingly hot objects, and thus detectable at infrared wavelengths by satellite - once they re-enter the atmosphere, their “glide” (terminal) phase is no different than an ICBM - which makes them just as vulnerable a target.

That might be his thinking but that will never happen. Poland is in NATO, any more into Poland and NATO goes to war. Dido the Baltic states that are in NATO. The Ukraine is not in NATO for a very good reason. The Ukraine is none of our business.

Your argument presupposes that Vladimir Putin is still in possession of a rational mind. I have my doubts.

I reject the George W Bush notion of preemptive wars. If Russia invades Poland, then we go to wars. Dido any other NATO nation. Ukraine is not in NATO and it is none of our business.
