Hypersonic missiles can fly towards a target at lower altitudes and get over the speed of over 6,200 km per hour. The hypersonic missile separated from its rocket booster and drove 75 miles before it hit a target that was 700 km away. The missile proved its ability to “multi-step glide jump flight and strong lateral manoeuvring,” media reports added.
