The Russian Ministry of Defense shared footage of the Avangard, a nuclear-capable hypersonic glide vehicle, being readied for combat.

The Islamic republic's aerospace commander, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said that the missile signaled a "huge leap" in development.

British intelligence said MiG-31K Foxhound jets and a canister that can hold a Killjoy missile were spotted at an airfield in the Minsk region.

Hypersonic speeds, over five times the speed of sound, mean that it can be dangerous for aircraft to release objects like missiles.

Guided-missile destroyers USS Zumwalt and USS Michael Monsoor will be fitted with the cutting-edge missiles.

Alexander Shiplyuk is the third prominent Novosibirsk-based scientist to be taken into custody over the past few months.

Vladimir Putin has warned that Zircon missiles will enable Russian warships to strike "decision-making centers" within minutes.

President Vladimir Putin has said the Russian Zircon can fly at Mach 9—nine times the speed of sound.

Sen. Jim Inhofe told Newsweek that Beijing's recent test must serve as a "wake-up call" to U.S. leaders.

Milley's comments mark the first public acknowledgement of China's hypersonic weapons tests by the country's most senior uniformed official.

U.S. officials expressed surprise at the capabilities achieved by the Chinese military, according to a report by the Financial Times.

In a study published earlier this month, People's Liberation Army researchers discussed a model that could help the military land its future hypersonic UAVs.

The missile is claimed to be able to strike targets on land and sea from over 620 miles away and is capable of flying nine times the speed of sound.

The Air Force is investing in a project that could produce a new version of Air Force One capable of flying the president to any continent within a few hours.

The Army hopes to field its first ground-launched hypersonic weapon by 2023, with more flight tests taking place this year.

The Missile Defense Agency this month awarded $277 million to L3Harris and Northrop Grumman as part of its Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor project.

U.S. military officials have warned that America is lagging behind China and Russia in hypersonic weapons development.

"We all know perfectly well that so far there are no such weapons in the world, no one else, except us, except Russia," Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

The U.S. may seek to fight fire with fire when it comes to Russia's and China's hypersonic weapons.

Russia, China and the U.S. are racing to develop the best hypersonic technology for the military.

The high-profile arrest sparked curiosity about Russia's hypersonic weapons and why they are so highly prized.

The 74-year-old space scientist is in custody as the investigation continues.
