The new hypersonic missiles are extremely lethal
The new hypersonic missiles are the HCV(Hypersonic Cruise Vehicles) and HGV (Hypersonic Glide Vehicle) are giving also powerful strike capacity for the elder strategic bombers. The HCS means hypersonic cruise missiles, what are the hypersonic versions of the cruise missiles, what carried below the strategic bombers. The HGS is the hypersonic glide plane that can shoot outside the atmosphere, and then that system would glide to the target.
The HGV is the missile warhead that has another shape than the traditional warheads. The HGV can aim at the target by gliding to it at a gentle angle, which makes that this kind of missile can attack against targets from any angle, and it can be driven in the corridors of underground bunkers.
The border between the HGV and HCV is minimal.
The hypersonic cruise missile can also launch by using ballistic missiles, and this type of weapons would launch out from the atmosphere and when they dive back the SCRAMJET engines will start, which makes this kind of weapon extremely hard to shoot down. But also hypersonic cruise missiles can shoot the smaller glider out from the atmosphere.
At first, the Mach 12 capable system will shoot the smaller glider to the ballistic trajectory, and then the glider will start to aim at the target. That means that the hypersonic cruise missile can also use to carry ASAT (Anti Satellite) weapons. The SCRAMJET or hypersonic ramjet technology allows making the compact-size very high-speed systems, which have many capacities. The fact is that hypersonic missiles can be destructive even they use kinetic energy.
In some versions of the kinetic energy missiles, the metal or ceramic warhead is covered by using a layer of depleted uranium. That makes this kind of system the biggest uranium bullets in the world. But the hydrogen bombs can also use in that kind of system. The hypersonic missiles are deadly against the ships, and that means they are very wanted tools in the hands of the military forces around the world.
