I would say fuck around and find out 🤷
As of mid-2025:
❌ No — the U.S. does not yet have fully operational hypersonic weapons deployed at scale.
✅ But — it’s developing them aggressively:
Programs in progress:
ARRW (Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon) – Cancelled after failed tests.
Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) – Navy’s submarine-launched hypersonic missile, still in testing.
LRHW (Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon) – Army program, expected fielding soon but still behind schedule.
🆚 Compare with:
Russia has deployed:
Avangard (intercontinental glide vehicle)
Kinzhal (air-launched hypersonic, used in Ukraine)
China:
Tested DF-ZF (glide vehicle)
Allegedly tested an orbital hypersonic weapon in 2021
🧠 Strategic Note:
Hypersonics matter less for deterrence (which ICBMs already provide) and more for first-strike advantage, conventional surprise, and anti-air/anti-ship roles.
TL;DR:
> No, the U.S. doesn’t have them deployed yet — China and Russia are ahead. But Washington’s scrambling to catch up, with multiple programs in development and fielding likely within 1–2 years.
