Let me get this straight: "We have never even tried to make a plain old run-of-the-mill hypersonic missile, but we suddenly made one that can definitely hit other hypersonic missiles."
See, this is why I think basically no one is actually reading news stories any more.
(Yes, I get that technically speaking I could "intercept" a hypersonic missile with a plain old run-of-the-mill rock if I was standing right in front of it, but somehow I don't think anyone has this very special case in mind.)
Haha, we're talking about Israelis! I have no doubt contracts were written up, shekels changed hands, military and commercial espionage was attempted, etc. You know, the very definition of the "defense industry".
I'm surprised that, at this point, anything exists in the West beyond models and CGI.
Putin referred to the West as the "Empire of Lies", and I don't think anyone around here would disagree with that naming. Now we're seeing exactly what happens when such an empire is finally confronted by artillery strikes, electronic warfare, and drones.

I think there has been likely many attempts, just no success.
I think the best interceptors will be the ground targets. Until we get to plasma weapons.

hahah, yes this is my exact thought, thankfully we have Russians laying waste to at least some gear to reveal state for us.
