Emerging military technologies such as hypersonic weapons challenge the established dynamics of nuclear deterrence and strategic stability (Reny, 2020). Being able to fly faster than Mach 5, which is at least five times faster than the speed of sound, these next generation carrying nuclear or conventional warheads do not only cover an extensive distance in minutes but are also highly manoeuvrable in flight, thus more survivable, and are more precise in targeting (Sayler, 2020; Davis, 2020).
