Here's What We Know About Russia's Hypersonic Waverider Weapon

This complicated weapon requires simple solution. Code-named Avangard and capable of Mach 20, Russia's hypersonic wave rider has had many successful tests and according to intelligence could be fully operational by 2020. Defense strategy in this case can be found in studies purposed in the re-direction of meteoroids. Since this bad mamajama uses the shockwaves created by its own flight processes to achieve such high velocity propulsion.
we can disrupt the shockwave by creating another in near proximity as it passes by, or if our own teams utilize the same technology achieving similar or greater velocity it is then necessary only to in parallel of in near proximity only slightly ahead of the wave rider, where it is positioned within our generated drag, it will be taken out of its intended waves and begin to ride in our own. Drag in this case acting as a tractor beam so to speak we can then take it in tow anywhere we like, as our wave decreases its speed decreases, slowing the weapon to speeds more easily offensible.
