Hypersonics at 6000MPH?

Russia’s 19,800MPH Avangard and 16,000MPH RS-28 Sarmat missile, China’s 19,000MPH Dongfeng-41, begs to differ.

We also don’t have any effective defense against ICBMs at 15,000MPH.

For 70+ years and 350+ billion dollars, we have nothing.

Sure we do. Tiered, multi-layer defense systems tested many times. We just don’t have enough.
