Have Hypersonic Missiles Reached the Hands of the Houthis?

Russian military sources have discussed the possession of hypersonic missiles by Yemen, indicating that the Ansar Allah group has conducted tests on these missiles and may announce them, potentially making the Yemeni armed forces one of the limited countries with this sensitive technology, which cannot be intercepted or even detected by any air defense systems in the world. What are the main features of these missiles? Missiles that exceed the speed of sound can fly in the upper atmosphere at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound and are considered more maneuverable than conventional missiles, making them more capable of evading air defense systems. Last year, Russia announced that it successfully tested the launch of a hypersonic missile from a frigate in the White Sea off its northwestern coast. In addition to Russia, China, the United States, and at least five other countries are working on developing hypersonic missile technology.
