  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...

How the U.S. Military Is Harnessing AI on the Battlefield Posted By:  Technology and Defense Team   Date: 26/06/2025 Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just for sci-fi blockbusters anymore—it’s changing the game in real-world combat. The U.S. military is diving headfirst into AI, weaving it into everything from drones to decision-making to keeping tanks rolling. It’s a revolution that’s making warfare smarter, faster, and, in some ways, safer — but it’s not without Its headaches. US Soldier  1. Supercharged Surveillance and Recon AI is taking battlefield surveillance to a whole new level. Programs like Project Maven use machine learning to sift through hours of drone footage in a snap, spotting vehicles, people, or suspicious patterns faster than any human could. It’s like giving commanders a crystal ball—real-time intel that helps them make split-second calls with confidence. 2. Drones That Think for Themselves Autonomous drones are changing the skies. The U.S. is rollin...
