The US has successfully tested two Lockheed Martin Corp hypersonic missiles, a significant development amid the backdrop of geopolitical rivals Russia and China registering recent breakthroughs in testing such technology.
In 2021, China said it had successfully tested a hypersonic weapon that orbited the globe before hitting its target while Russia recently became the first country to use hypersonic weapons in war when it launched its Iskander and Kinzhal missiles at Ukraine.
