Currently Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea have competitive edge in warfare over all the other nations including the US, NATO countries, and Israel. They have demonstrated to posses hypersonic weapons that are impossible to intercept. Hypersonic missiles can be used to take down air defences such as Patriot systems, and to deliver nuclear war heads without risk of being intercepted. As China, North Korea and Russia have also nuclear weapons, this means their hypersonic nuclear missiles can not be intercepted by any country.

Hypersonic missiles have transformed modern warfare significantly:
- Speed and Reaction Time: Hypersonic missiles travel at speeds greater than Mach 5, which drastically reduces the time available for detection, tracking, and response. This makes them harder to intercept and increases the likelihood of a successful strike.
- Evasion and Maneuverability: Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons can maneuver during flight, making them less predictable and more difficult for missile defense systems to target.
- Deterrence: The development of hypersonic capabilities can enhance a nation's deterrence posture. The ability to strike quickly and unpredictably may deter adversaries from taking aggressive actions.
- Strategic Targeting: Hypersonic missiles can potentially target high-value or time-sensitive targets, such as command centers, air defenses, or critical infrastructure, with precision and speed.
- Asymmetrical Warfare: Nations with hypersonic capabilities may gain a strategic advantage over rivals without such technologies, potentially shifting the balance of power and leading to new forms of asymmetrical warfare.
- Impact on Defense Systems: The development of hypersonic missiles challenges existing missile defense systems, necessitating advancements in detection and interception technologies. This could lead to an arms race in both offensive and defensive capabilities.
- Cost and Complexity: Developing, testing, and deploying hypersonic weapons is complex and expensive, potentially influencing military budgets and strategies globally.
The introduction of hypersonic missiles has reshaped international security dynamics, leading to a new era of military competition making military alliances such as NATO useless and weakening the nuclear deterrence of the countries that do not possess operational hypersonic weapons.
