I wonder how anti hyper sonic missile defense could even work. All that momentum has to go somewhere, I guess you could divert it by smashing another faster rocket into it lol. Overheat it with laser? But it’s moving so fast you wouldn’t even have time to get a bead and fire long enough with enough wattage, surely…
My assumption would be cause enough damage to it that it can’t accurately hit its target (if at all). It’s still going to be a chunk of metal flying at Mach whatever, but more than a km out it isn’t going to hit anything important.
I vaguely recall a study from my childhood (I was a weird kid) that said that the combined debris of a SCUD + Patriot did more damage than a SCUD on its own. But it was definitely less accurate.
They go so fast that the air in front of them turns to plasma, which happens to absorb radar. So even if there was a laser or something fast & powerful enough to destroy it (gonna make it hotter than the plasma does?) you’d still have a hell of a time detecting and aiming.
