I'll chime in here. The issue with the hypersonics vs the conventional ICBM is the altitude required for the ICBM, makes them easier to detect and track. The hyper also due have some capability to maneuver at their full speed. This still does not mean that they can not be tracked nor neutralized prior to impact with the intended target. It just makes it more difficult and not using old fashioned methods for ICBM interception.
