Hyperfast missile to hit anywhere in an hour

[perocity]

HAUNTED by the memory of a lost opportunity to kill Osama Bin Laden before he attacked the World Trade Center in New York, US military planners have won President Barack Obama’s support for a new generation of high-speed weapons that are intended to strike anywhere on Earth within an hour.

Obama’s interest in Prompt Global Strike (PGS), a nonnuclear weapons programme, has alarmed China and Russia and complicated nuclear arms reduction negotiations.

White House officials confirmed last week that the president, who won the Nobel peace prize last year, is considering the deployment of a new class of hypersonic guided missiles that can reach their targets at speeds of Mach 5 — about 3,600mph.

It's not good enough to just have hyper speed you need range and payload to make this weapon as scary as the PGS.

How do we know, this can hit any target within the hour, people sometimes exaggerate a little.
Allegedly the new Soviet anti, anti jam system, is the best in the world.
So the missle is jammed. So does it play Bob Marley until it runs out of fuel or does it go back home payload and all
So if the Soviets sell there technology for Jamming. Why have a high speed boomerang in the first place.
The real question is which side is telling, "porkies".. Red, white and blue or the reds?
