The U.S. Navy is retrofitting its USS Zumwalt stealth destroyer with hypersonic missiles. The Zumwalt was originally designed with a gun system that proved too costly to operate. The new hypersonic missile system will enable the Zumwalt to strike targets from thousands of kilometers away. Russia has also developed a hypersonic missile, the Oreshnik. The Oreshnik is a non-nuclear missile, but its destructive capabilities reach temperatures exceeding 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Russia claims the Oreshnik can evade interception, though Western experts dispute this. The use of hypersonic missiles by both Russia and the U.S. has intensified tensions in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The U.S. is accelerating the development of hypersonic missiles, viewing them as crucial to national security. Send us a text in our website https://www.buzzsprout.com/2428312
