Dear media, stop saying, “hypersonic,” like it is some big deal. Nearly every missile system that is in any way useful meets that criteria. It’s akin to a headline discussing “edible” food.
It used to be that when people talked about hypersonic missiles it was understood to mean hypersonic cruise missile, something that could hug terrain and maneuver. Then Russia and China came out with “hypersonic missiles” that were just ballistic with maybe some minor maneuverability so the term doesn’t mean anything until you dig deeper.
The one they got from Russia?
The one we can reliably shoot down with 40 year old PATRIOT systems?
LOL, ok. North Korea says a lot of stupid things.

Not an ICBM, crazy I know
It’s called being aware of world events.
Every one’s favourite bogeyman
The DPRK has hypersonic warheads, now? Whatever’s going on in their education system, I want some of it.
Are… are you simping for North Korea?
It’s methamphetamine.
LOL @ all the reactionaries seething in this thread
