Really? Exceeds mach 5 with manouevre capabilities? Wasn't aware the US had such capability. Not sure on explosives added for hyposonic ? Thought it was kinetic energy from speed at impact?

Hypersonic missiles are being designed for conventional and nuclear payloads.
The US has 3-4 systems in development.
There are hypersonic glide vehicles that are basically just reentry vehicles from a ballistic launch that can control course as the glide in at super sonic speeds
There are solid and liquid fueled missiles which are basics hypersonic cruise missile. That have short to medium ranges.
And the goal a ram jet design that can achieve hypersonic speeds maneuver and have extended ranges.
So basically there are multiple different approaches and capabilities in hypersonic systems. But their all being designed to carry ordinance of some kind

The oreshnik use so far to my observation has the ability to carry conventional or nuclear warheads yes. So far my understanding the ukraine uses have had neither and used only as kinetic weapons. Like the chinese hyposonics some carry load others kinetic .Oreshnik (missile) - Wikipedia

Some not all. Some designed purely for kinetic impact .eg. YJ20 and YJ21

They both are designed to carry a 200-500 Kg warhead. So I don’t know where you got kinetic only from. They are also both hypersonic glide vehicles. Ballistic launch hypersonic reentry and unpowered maneuver and glide to target.
Not a hypersonic cruise missile
The US has used Maneuverable reentry vehicle since 1984 with the Pershing missile systems. The renter vehicle maneuvered and flew to their target at a speed in excess of 5000 mph.
Granted they only deploy and maneuver in terminal phase but there still hypersonic and can maneuver
The US LRHW is a ground launched glide vehicle releasing this year range 2100 miles at Mach 5. The YJ-21 has a range of 1500

Wow where did you find info on YJ-21 ? i looked up chinese info nothing mentioned about 200-500kg warheads, only kinetic impact and ranges between 1500-2000 . Can reach mach 10 Sounds like no one truly knows

I’m not saying the YJ-21 is anything to sneeze at. I just have this thing about glide vehicles verses hypersonic flight under power. Yes the Chinese has been a powerful mover in hypersonics. But they don’t have an exclusive lock on it.
The US has ran several platforms and are aggressively pursuing the field.
China had a geographical and geopolitical demand to develop hypersonic tech because of their coastal front and and strategic desire to be able to control the South China Sea.
Now the field is flipping.
What is sad is China has done the same thing Russia did. Instead of working within the multinational framework they have been insistent building a competing geopolitical and military power base.
Frankly I think they’re paranoid and ego driven. But that is their choice and that is why we’re where we’re at.
Japan Taiwan RoK Vietnam the Philippines and others don’t trust China.
China has given them all material reasons not to trust Chinas intentions.
And they are all our allies and trading partners.
So here we are……
