Lasers are getting smaller and more powerful every year. That said, I haven't seen a real hypersonic missile that can change it flight path rapidly enough.

@piotrd.4850 Well the efficiency already went up from 10 percent to 33. Nobody could foresee quantum computing and AI 20 years ago...

@Man_of_Various_Cultures Ballistic missiles have been hypersonic since the sixties. The old Patriot system has shown to pluck the 'hypersonic' Kinzhal out of the sky. Maybe we don't have to come up with lasers as the hypersonic threat could just be a hype.

@songhan1586 Hypersonic speeds create a plasma around the missile making it impossible for it to communicate with the outside world. Mean reason why you don't see real hypersonic missiles.
