Despite advancements, such as the U.S. Navy’s HELIOS system and the Army’s IFPC-HEL, today's lasers can't yet reliably stop hypersonic threats.

    How to defend against hypersonic missiles:

    • A giant net to catch the missile in
    • Put lipstick and false eyelashes on an other missile. This will make the hypersonic missile go “oh la lala!” and make it’s eyes pop. It will then chase after the girl missile, forgetting everything about where it was going.
    • The iron dome but for real. We encapsulate the entire west in a giant iron tank and the missile will just boink right off it.

    I will need 600 billion dollars to maybe possibly build this.
