As a Philly adjacent anon, I guess I’ll say, as a precaution—it was nice knowing you all. Drills held in Philadelphia in case of hypersonic missile attack or other mass casualty event recently. Russia, Iran, and China threatening strikes. MilOps in SCS.

This sounds like worthless play-acting. "Hypersonic weapons" are hype. Conventional ballistic missiles arrive at Mach 25 anyway. Simultaneous attacks with no warning can proceed from submarine-launched missiles. There is no basis for thinking such weapons would be anything but nuclear, so concern for chemical, biological, and radiological effects would be frivolous. Somebody is preparing a theatrical performance, probably for the benefit of the mainstream media and also to prepare the public for more lockdown decrees in order to interfere with the coming election.
""Hypersonic weapons" are hype."
Ah, but what if they are Hypersonic assault weapons?
Its not about just speed it’s about an unpredictable trajectory.
And what about it? In practical terms, we can't intercept ICBM warheads in the terminal phase anyway. They are too fast and we abandoned the technology to do that in 1976 (Sprint interceptor missile). We have a lot of catch-up to do.
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × mass × velocity²
Hypersonic weapons are those traveling faster than Mach 5. As mentioned, any and all ICBM re-entry vehicles are de facto "hypersonic" and have been for 60 years. I think your citation of the formula for kinetic energy is not relevant.
Really? This equation is fundamental physics. It's seems evident you don't understand the physics equation.
The equation doesn't necessarily disagree with your polemic. It just further defines it.
I have three degrees in aeronautical engineering. I know this in my sleep. I also know that it has no bearing on the discussion. You don't dispute that fact and fail to explain why you even mention it. I could also state F = ma, the sky is blue, and 2 + 2 = 4. All of it true--and irrelevant. If you want to know about ballistic trajectories, that is what I worked with. I can educate you, but if you want to act like trivial equations are magic incantations, I can't be of much help.
