In principle, sure. But in practice, its easier to spend a lot of cheep ballistics running the interceptors dry. After that, it doesn’t really matter how long you can maintain hypersonic speeds.
Again, this conversation was about calling something a hypersonic missile when it really isn’t by definition not the economics or viability of the war nor the actuall capabilities of their missiles (which I suspect are just run of the mill ballistic missiles that might be guided by AI). It really makes me think Tom’s hardware made all this up for clicks or they are gullible enough to buy into propaganda. IF Tom’s Hardware can’t be truthful about something that’s easily verifiable, how can we trust the rest of the article?
In all likelyhood there is some truth in the article, but someone calling anything hypersonic should really set off your bullshit detector, just like a company selling solid state batteries with fantastic claims or anything being revolutionized with carbon nanotubes.
I agree with your analysis of the article.
I also think its funny to say China or Russia or whomever is using the term wrong, 'cus lets be honest; the primary purpose of a hypersonic mistle isn’t its capabilities or whatever strategic advantage it confers. It exists to justify its own price tag, so the manufacturer has a wide profit margin and enough on top of that to contribute to their local senator’s campaign fund.
