Bhutan Tests Hypersonic Missile Vehicle (BrassTacks Magazine) Last week, the Artillery Corps of the Royal Bhutan Army successfully concluded the first test flight of a hypersonic missile vehicle that is capable of delivering warheads through U.S. missile defense systems, according to a recently released Pentagon report. The hypersonic missile could be a major milestone for Bhutan as it modernizes its military technology for strategic nuclear and conventional military purposes, since a confrontation with the U.S. is likely to escalate due to the ongoing crisis in Iraq and Syria, where Bhutan is backing the belligerent ISIS in defiance of Western interests.
