US intelligence reports: Russia's new hypersonic weapon will likely be ready for war by 2020

Maybe we have been developing a system to address this weapon....?

In 1982 as a young private at Snow Hall at Fort6 Sill we got to see a bunch of video demo's from various weapons companies. One of the them was the Lance 2, but another was a kinetic energy missile that could rip through reinforced bunkers, tanks, and anything else. It didn't need a warhead, it did its damaged based on its speed, well in excess of 5000 MPH. I was amazed as thing was maybe 4 feet long and about as big around as my wrist. That was in 1982 we had that technology, I am not impressed.

I've been out of the loop to long to have any intel but I'd like to think we have anticipated this type of weapons platform. I know we have looked at this kind of system for ourselves so there are lessons learned already.
