Belarus, which hosts Russian nuclear weapons, said on ​Monday its armed forces had begun training on how ‌to deploy them in the field. "During the training, in cooperation with the Russian side, it is planned to practise the delivery ​of nuclear munitions and their preparation for use," ​the Belarusian Defence Ministry said in a statement.

North Korea has 300+ Hwasong-7 missiles and multiple ICBM types with miniaturised nuclear warheads and hypersonic capabilities.

'Ballistic and hypersonic missiles': What North Korea has and why it matters

North Korea’s ICBM arsenal, featuring the Hwasong-15, 17, and the new solid-fuel Hwasong-19, has verified ranges exceeding 15,000 km. These missiles can reach New York in roughly 30 minutes, carrying heavy nuclear payloads that challenge US defence systems.

Iron Beam is designed for short-range threats within 10km, as of now it is not for hypersonic missiles. Because hypersonic weapons travel 2 miles per second leaving almost no reaction time. As of now lasers are limited to line-of-sight engagement with horizon constraints. 

Can Iron Beam stop hypersonic missiles?

laser defence systems like Iron Beam and DragonFire are changing modern warfare with shots costing only a few dollars, unlimited ammunition, and instant response. Know below how cheap energy weapons could reshape air defence and challenge traditional missile systems forever.


How Iron Beam could make missiles useless in future wars

Hypersonic missiles exceed Mach 5 evading defences. Lasers strike at light speed. Railguns fire 8,000 km/h projectiles. AI autonomous swarms overwhelm targets. Microwaves disable electronics. Space platforms enable global strikes. Future aerospace weapons revolutionise warfare.

A Chinese private company claims to be one of the first in the world to mass-produce low-cost hypersonic missiles. A development that, if true, holds far-reaching implications in modern warfare and global security.

China's Low-Cost Hypersonic Missile Enters Mass Production

#Gravitas A Chinese private company claims to be one of the first in the world to mass-produce low-cost hypersonic missiles. A development that, if true, holds far-reaching implications in modern warfare and global security.

While the number of nations with operational ICBMs is limited, their technical evolution has been rapid, with greater range, hypersonic speeds and multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs) dramatically increasing destructive capability.

A missile is considered hypersonic when it travels at Mach 5 or faster, which is more than 6,100 km/h. At these speeds, atmospheric friction generates extreme heat, meaning the weapon must use specialised materials and guidance systems capable of performing under intense pressure.

'Missiles travelling 6,100 km/h': What makes a missile ‘hypersonic’ and which countries already have them?

With its upgraded bomb bay and new pylons, the B-1B Lancer is set to carry dozens of hypersonic missiles, transforming US long-range strike power. This move may keep the legendary bomber in action through the 2030s. Know more below.

Can the B-1B Lancer carry hypersonic missiles?

Hypersonic missiles can fly at over Mach 8, outpacing almost all advanced fighter jets and defences. India is advancing its own hypersonic programmes, which will reshape air combat and defense in future. 

Can a fighter jet survive a hypersonic missile strike?

Russia is upgrading its Su 57 jet with AI, stealth tech, and hypersonic missiles to match fighters like the US F 47 by 2030. The modernised jet will boost air power with advanced sensors and smarter combat systems.
