Does not compute

MACH 10 = 7,000+ mph yet this device only has a range of 300 miles? If fired up for only 10 seconds its range would be well over 700 miles.

Copy and paste from wikipedia... “Wikipedia does not consider itself credible because anyone can edit it at any time, any information it contains at a particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or just plain wrong.”

Do research, it’s a 1980s rocket with a booster capable of hypersonic speed. It’s a modified version of the ground-launched 9K720 Iskander.

All ICBMs are hypersonic so was the space shuttle which I watched often.

The video posted showed nothing.
