US To Deploy Hypersonic Weapon System

US Navy sends its most advanced surface warship to east Asia

The CNN article states USS Zumwalt will be upgraded next year to accommodate the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB), a weapons system that uses a booster rocket motor to fire missiles at hypersonic speed.

A missile defense system utilizing hypersonic missiles would be ideal for Korea's defense, much better than the THAAD system that Prez Yoon wants to buy for some unknown reason.

I read that that integrating THAAD's radar system with a new missile system is probably a good idea.

Wow! Hypersonic missiles have arrived. I know China and Russia demonstrated hypersonic missiles, but I doubt that they are as sophisticated and reliable as the American ones. 

Soon, the US should be able to destroy nuclear missiles right within a few minutes after launch. Cool.
