We can detect and destroy these instantly.
Never forget , the modern weapons the public is aware of was modern 20 years ago.
Also the same with Russia. Good reasons to have reciprocal relationships with other nations
Not Mach 10. Not easily. Not instantly. We did not send the THAAD system to Ukraine, which is the only system that might be able to engage these missiles.
That you know of . This is my point . The xr22 blackbird was being used since 1969 but not public until the 80s. As far as hypersonic and space travel all is still dark. Don't doubt me
You are; either mistakenly referring to the SR-71 Blackbird, or to some other presently unknown aircraft. The Blackbird was common knowledge before 1970. I and a friend saw a rapid contrail that year, which we timed and estimated to be at Mach 3, and there was only one aircraft capable of that.
Don't doubt you? I've only been in the advanced aerospace business for 40 years, and keep my ear to the rail. Why should I believe you, when you seem to get your information garbled? Lots of imaginary technology touted on this page.
You are correct . I'm old and don't remember alpha numeric named aircraft that aren't relevant anymore. The SR 71 ( thanks for that) was NOT common knowledge. Don't doubt me .kek
Very plausible indeed. However, with this missile clipping along at Mach 10 (10 miles/4.69 sec), that's going to be an extremely accurate counter-meaaure (laser?) needed to down it. I know we have Laser systems ( I was testing RFIED jamming systems in Yuma, AZ when advanced Laser systems were being tested) so it could be possible.
Forget ground-based lasers. Cloud cover will defeat them completely, they are not powerful enough, and they will have no effect on re-entry vehicles which are already designed to survive a high-temperature environment. (Your speed reference is unintelligible. I think you mean to say 2.1 miles/second, or 3.43 km/sec.) Their apogee altitude will be approximately a quarter of their range distance.
LOL! I should have made a legal disclaimer that I'm not a math prodigy nor a rocketer physicist, just based my post on simple hillbilly math-a-matics using Wikipedia (1st mistake?) as the source, Mach 1 (speed of sound) = 767 mph. Mach 10 = 10x speed of sound, 10 x 767 = 7670 mph? So... yes 7670 ÷ (60 x 60) = 2.13 miles/sec. To quote Roger Clemons: "I miss-remembered" my math...That's still mind-blowing fast!?! Like Putin said, they cant stop it! Stay safe fren!! NCSWIC WWG1WGA
All I know is when I was at Yuma (2012-16) we were testing next to each other with a hill range between us at night. It was very noticeable when their system was activated.....
Edit: I checked dates. The last flight of the YAL-1A was 12 Feb 2012. It was grounded until September 2014, when it was scrapped. Other laser systems were in development concurrently. Good thing you had a hill in the way!

Airborne Laser (ABL) program "officially scrapped."
Was it actually, though?

Real as death. I was on the program.

We can detect and destroy these systems prelaunch
No doubt there. Its trying to do so once they're airborne that presents the greatest challenge.
That is called a pre-emptive attack. But we did jokingly refer to that as "engagement in the pre-launch phase."
