This article sounds like "sour grapes".

Keeps comparing hypersonic missiles to ballistic. Concluding there is no benefit. But what about cruise missiles and air launched long range missiles?

Also assumes that all hypersonic weapons will use rocket engines. But that is exactly why interest is back, there are now air-breathing jets that power hypersonic missiles. Meaning range, maneuverability, size improve compared to rockets.

And US is way behind in this.
