Hypersonic missiles have very poor terminal guidance it’s physics... all extra-atmospheric ballistic missiles are hypersonic and aren’t suitable for moving targets.
Hypersonic missiles have one advantage over ballistic missiles and that is that their flight path is much lower making detection harder but it doesn’t makes it easier to hit.
The US has experimented with hypersonic missiles in the 60’s and it became rather clear it wasn’t particularly worth it.
