Russians claim no missile defense can stop their new hypersonic, maneuvering warhead. Can our new NMD, THAAD and SM-3 ABMs stop it? I know what some will say, 'we aren't building an ABM system to take on the Russians', but I disagree. Major power competition continues, even if it is behind the scenes.
