Jonathan Poggie is a professor in the School of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at Purdue University. As the war in Ukraine rages on, President Biden recently confirmed that Russia utilized a hypersonic missile in the conflict. In this video, Poggie explains the technology and implications surrounding the use of hypersonic weapons. He says that the current inventory of hypersonic weaponry in any country is very low because of how expensive these weapons are to produce. As a result, nations will be reluctant to use them except against very high value targets. Poggie does not think that Russia’s first use of hypersonic missiles in combat has changed the military landscape much. He sees it as a demonstration that has a psychological effect, but that does not have much military utility. Hypersonic weapons technology is on the cusp of seeing consistent use in combat, as many countries have developed working prototypes. However, Poggie notes that there is a big difference between a prototype weapon and one that can see widespread deployment.
