The US Air Force announced that it had successfully tested a Mach 5 hypersonic weapon.
The United States is not alone in the race to develop hypersonic weapons, as Russia has launched hypersonic missiles at Ukrainian targets, while China has denied conducting similar tests.
Rival superpowers are developing game-changing weapons, including “swarms of drones” and autonomous missiles.
Pentagon officials believe that any major conflict can start with a preemptive first strike beginning with a cyber-attack, in which the “enemy” tries to destroy the communications systems of the other country, to force it to “fight blindly”.
