The Russians claim to have tested a hypersonic vehicle that could defeat an American missile defense system. Initial reports are that the vehicle was a warhead with attitude-control thrusters.
I remain a bit skeptical about the claim. The Russians haven't given a lot of information about this reentry vehicle, and they did say the vehicle "ceased to exist after re-entry." A sign the vehcile disintegrated? The vehicle wouldn't be impossible to build (the X-20, after all, was envisioned as an unstoppable nuclear delivery system,) but can it be built to reliably counter the Ground-Based Midcourse Interceptor system or a possible follow-on?
