  1. Having them is one thing but can they use them Not really

  2. China and Russia's programs are simply to give them a possible defense option against the US Without hypersonic weapons, Neither China or Russia can match the US in conventional warfare Now the US program is design to give the US a means of breaking through Russia's and China IADS quickly While they can't match the US conventionally, both their IADS still represent an obstacle that has to be dealt with China's problem is that their DFs are massive launchers The US Common-Hypersonic Glide Body or LRHW can be travel up to Mach 17 and launched from 1700 miles away Even at 1000 miles, it will reach a DF launcher in 5 mins , how far can DF move in 5 min not that far The older TLAM needs 2 hours to cover that distance So USN ship with LRHW can engage both Chinese DFs as well as their IADS The ARRW claims 1000 miles but actual speed is not known yet but both systems attack Chinese assets would be too much for China to handle While China's missile that did a lap around the world is impressive, Unless it can simultaneously 10 plus targets, its basically moot Russia's system too easy to make fun of
