The US has reached a crucial milestone.
According to the Missile Defense Agency., the Defense Department’s advanced missile tracking satellites logged their first views of a hypersonic flight test.
Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) satellites were able to track a hypersonic system.
MDA didn’t disclose the date of the flight, which took off from Wallops Island in Virginia.
The agency said in a June 14 statement, “Initial reports show the sensors successfully collected data after launch. MDA will continue to assess flight data over the next several weeks.”
Viewers may note, that the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and Space Development Agency (SDA) are actively working on components of a hypersonic missile defense system to protect against hypersonic weapons and other emerging missile threats. This includes developing the tracking and transport layers of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) and various interceptor programs.

The steep decline in the ruble, a currency often managed by Russian authorities due to its role as a key indicator of the country’s economic health, now leaves 1,000 rubles worth less than $10.
The collapse is partly driven by last week’s US Treasury sanctions, which prohibited Russia's third-largest lender, Gazprombank, and over 50 smaller banks from conducting energy-related transactions with US entities.
Fears regarding a sharp escalation of the war in Ukraine after the U.S. & UK allowed unrestricted use of ATACMS & storm Shadow have also stroked the ruble’s decline.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how unrestricted use has now enabled ATACMS & Storm Shadow to take full toll on Russia ?

The target was a key infrastructure - Pivdenmash, formerly Yuzhmash.
Pivdenmash produces spacecraft, launch vehicles (rockets), liquid-propellant rockets, landing gears, castings, forgings, tractors, tools, and industrial products. The company is headquartered in Dnipro and reports to the State Space Agency of Ukraine. It works with international aerospace partners in 23 countries.
The strike package included 6 Kh-101 cruise missiles, one Kinzhal hypersonic missile, and an unknown missile which was later designated as - Oreshnik.
A US official confirmed, “The United States was pre-notified briefly before the launch”. It was done since it could have been mistaken for a nuclear strike.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes how lethal the Russian Oreshnik missile is?

The strike, carried out between November 9 and 10, 2024, involved the Marine Corps’ VMFA-314 squadron—also known as the “Black Knights”—stationed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln supercarrier in the US Navy’s 5th Fleet Area of Responsibility (AOR).
The primary objective was to degrade Houthi capabilities, especially following a series of attacks on international commercial and military shipping by the Iran-backed militia. The Pentagon highlighted that these strikes aimed to prevent further unlawful targeting of vessels operating in these critical maritime zones.

Currently, only China, Russia, and the United States have this technology.
The Indian missile, developed by the state-run Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and industry partners, is designed to carry payloads for ranges exceeding 1,500 km (930 miles) for the armed forces, the government said in a statement.
It is being termed a Long Range Anti Ship Hypersonic Missile (LRAShM) given the absence of any other known nomenclature for the missile family.
The government added, "The flight data ... confirmed the successful terminal maneuvers and impact with high degree of accuracy”.
The test-firing took place from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam island off the eastern coast of Odisha state
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called the test a "historic achievement" in a post on X and congratulated “DRDO, armed forces, and industry for stupendous achievement”.
