I'm afraid it gonna be to little to late.

U.S. successfully tests pair of Lockheed hypersonic missiles

"This second successful test demonstrates ARRW's ability to reach and withstand operational hypersonic speeds, collect crucial data for use in further flight tests, and validate safe separation from the aircraft," Lockheed said in a statement.

Air Force Brigadier General Heath Collins, program executive officer, Armament Directorate, said, "We have now completed our booster test series and are ready to move forward to all-up-round testing later this year."

"The "all-up-round" includes the booster and the warhead."

Translation: There's quite a ways to go yet.

"In a separate hypersonic weapon test, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) confirmed it successfully performed the first test of its Operational Fires hypersonic weapon."

The test was conducted at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

"The successful tests show progress among the myriad U.S. hypersonic weapons development efforts, which have in cases been beleaguered by failed tests, growing questions about cost and increasing concerns the United States is falling behind in what has become a superpower arms race."

Well lord know we needed, "progress among the myriad U.S. hypersonic weapons development efforts".
