Iran Outpaces U.S. in Hypersonic Revolution—A Game-Changer in Modern Warfare
by New Rules [6-27-2025 published].
While the US flexes its stealth bombers, Iran has surpassed America in a critical military technology. Iranian hypersonic missiles showcased their advantage in attacks on Tel Aviv.
Why Hypersonics Are a Game-Changer
Blistering speeds (Mach 5+) – 100 km per minute (~1 mile every second!)
Unstoppable maneuverability – Evades all existing US missile defenses
Two types dominating modern warfare:
Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGV) – Rocket-launched, glides to target
Hypersonic Cruise Missiles – Powered by ultra-fast scramjets
Unlike old-school ballistic missiles, hypersonics can change course mid-flight, making them impossible to predict and intercept.
Iran’s Hypersonic Breakthrough
While the West doubts, Iran’s Fattah-1 & Fattah-2 missiles proved their might in the recent conflict, striking deep into Israel and bypassing advanced air defenses.
US & Israeli analysts downplay Iran’s tech, but facts speak louder:
Multiple successful strikes on Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Ashdod
Penetration of Israel’s "Iron Dome" and Arrow systems
Speed & maneuverability unmatched by traditional missiles
US Left in the Dust
Despite billions spent, the US has ZERO operational hypersonic weapons—while:
Russia fields Kinzhal, Tsirkon, Avangard and Oreshnik.
China dominates with the DF-17, capable of wiping out US bases in the Pacific.
Iran now joins the elite club with combat-tested hypersonics.
