India successfully test-fired a hypersonic missile, joining the elite group of nations with such capabilities. The missile, developed by the DRDO, can carry payloads over 1,500 km and has demonstrated high accuracy.

I have always intended to lookup the difference between supersonic and hypersonic. I knew ss meant > speed of sound, I learned hypersonic means >= 5x speed of sound. If that thing can fly 1500 km, it can do it in ~17min. That’s like Hamburg to Kyiv in the time it takes to make an Aldi Margarita pizza in the oven(with extra tomatoes, cheese, basil, and garlic salt)… or get one delivered to Hamburg from Kyiv via hypersonic missile.
Would that pizza be still in tact by the time it arrives? Did they heat it or did they send it frozen?
Does Kyiv even have an Aldi???
