America has strategic ambiguity when it comes to hypersonic tech.. It appears that America is behind. They keep reporting their hypersonic programs are failing.

The best tech is not presented to the public.

What happened with the NDAA makes it clear that defense contractors are hiding advanced technology related to UAPs.

The UAP Disclosure Act unanimously passed the Senate. When it got to the House, it was completely gutted by the man who is Lockheed's #1 Lobbying Recipient (Mike Turner). Here is the response from the Senate when the House killed the bill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0HoXkQXpVE

So it's clear, defense contractors have advanced technology that not even Congress or the President can learn about.

The line I've often heard from defense enthusiasts is that America appears behind on hypersonics because they're aiming for "true" hypersonic weapons, ie ones which are capable of a wide range of navigation while in powered hypersonic flight, as that's what actually makes the concept so potent, by making the missile so fast and unpredictable that current air defense systems would struggle to intercept it.

Without controlled navigable flight, "hypersonics" are much simpler, as you basically just have a ballistic missile, which can still be intercepted by traditional air defense (Russia's Kinzal being an example of this kind of so-called hypersonic missile).

Who would they sell it to? And why is any of what you said a bad thing?
