  Which Countries Have Hypersonic Missiles in 2025? Full List and Capabilities Explained Posted by Technology and Defense Team Countries with Hypersonic Missiles  Hypersonic missiles have transformed from lab experiments to operational military assets. Traveling at speeds over Mach 5 and capable of maneuvering during flight, these weapons are extremely hard to intercept. Several nations are developing hypersonic systems, but only a couple have actually fielded them for military use as of 2025. What Are Hypersonic Missiles? Hypersonic weapons generally fall into two types. First is the hypersonic glide vehicle , which is boosted by a rocket and then glides through the atmosphere at very high speed. Second is the hypersonic cruise missile , powered by advanced engines like scramjets to sustain hypersonic speeds close to the surface. These systems are designed to break through traditional missile defense networks. For a detailed technical explanation, see NASA's hypersoni...
