*EVERY* ICBM hits hypersonic speeds.
- dragontamer 5y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwasong-12 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hwasong-12 The Hwasong-12 (EDIT: Hwasong-8 I mean) missile test only reached Mach 3, which is slower than hypersonic. If this is the first successful hypersonic missile from North Korea, that's big news, and possibly warranting the severe response that our nuclear defense forces (probably) gave to the FAA.
