So it seems the US has realised that you don't need EM railguns to fire hypersonic rounds. Conventional guns can do it too. What this idea opens up or should we say reopens the possibility of the large gun being used to down aircraft.
This work thanks to much shorter flight times and modern guidance systems ruggedness and compactness.

That is a really good point!
We need to think about pooling the collective finance and brainpower of the EU into a DARPA-type establishment.
