"That's 180 miles a minute or 10,800 miles an hour." Which should immediately tell you this is nonsense. If you know anything about the current work done on hypersonic craft, things are touch and go with them melting while traveling in the atmosphere. But, not only does this one fly far faster than any other without melting, it has room for a warhead and extremely sophisticated avionics. And it is compact while carrying enough fuel to travel over 4000 miles. Which makes it, from an engineering point of view, ummmm, unlikely. Let me put it this way. This would be like finding an automatic machine gun in a pharaoh's sarcophagus.
