A Pentagon spokesman confirmed the U.S. development of various hypersonic weapons, after President Donald Trump announced the existence of a “super duper missile” that is faster than any that America’s geostrategic rivals have.

“The Department of Defense is working on developing a range of hypersonic missiles to counter our adversaries,” Jonathan Hoffman, the Defense Department press secretary, said in a May 15 tweet.
