The US is behind China and Russia when it comes to hypersonic weapons, a top Space Force general has said, citing bureaucracy and concerns over spending as some of the reasons for the lag.
“We’re not as advanced as the Chinese or the Russians in terms of hypersonic programs,” General David Thompson, the vice chief of space operations, told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum on Saturday. “We have catching up to do very quickly.” Thompson mentioned bureaucracy and concerns over spending as some of the reasons for the US lagging behind its competitors. He argued Washington needs to “be in a position where we’re ready to accept the little more risk and the little more risk of failure so that we could speed up our processes.”
Hypersonic missiles are viewed as cutting-edge technology because it is nearly impossible to track and intercept them due to their high speed and ability to change direction mid-flight.
The US Army plans to roll out a ground-launched, long-range hypersonic missile by the end of fiscal year 2023, while the navy is planning a ship-launched missile in 2025. It has delayed the deployment of a submarine-launched option from 2025 to 2028. The US Air Force expects to have an air-launched missile next year.
A Russian submarine successfully test-fired the country’s cutting-edge Zircon hypersonic missile last month. The Financial Times reported that Beijing had tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August. China, however, said the report was untrue.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
