Jeffrey Lewis and Aaron Stein spoke with Carnegie’s James Acton about hypersonic weapons. They discussed the status of China’s and the United States’ hypersonic weapons programs and what can open source tell analysts about China’s most recent rest. They also discussed what happened at Kodiak Island and whether hypersonic weapons are destabilizing.
