…in Ukraine. Could just be a coincidence but proof of concept of a Mach 9 hypersonic missile capability that was originally developed for sea-based launch could be the type of destabilizing first strike capability you mention. If it can be successfully launched from subs with a range of 625 miles (as reported in the linked article), a lot of U.S. cities and other targets could be in the crosshairs.



When I refer to first strike, I refer to us.

Why wait, why take the risk? That’s why we have them. To use them.
