So as a professional bird watcher, you buy a piece of land, setup a telescope camera system and a tracking system for seeing those birds. A bird gets caught by your camera's tracking system and you see the bird flying over the horizon some 10 kms away with your professional camera.
You're happy with your result and how your telescope camera system works perfectly. The birds are known to fly over that same horizon as they have for the last 30 years. Then suddenly one day, you notice something strange. What happened? Apparently one of the bird learned how to swim and you camera can't track it until the bird comes within 100 meter of the camera tracking system. By then, you dont have enough time to re-adjust your telescope camera and capture this bird. No matter what you do, you can't get a good camera to track the bird under water.
You then go to a professional bird watcher community forum and say you notice a bird that swims for 10 km and you cant get a good shot at it. Others laugh at you and asks whats the big deal? Its just a bird that flys in the air. No matter what you do to convince them the bird is actually swimming, they continue to repeat the argument about how birds fly and you just have to aim the camera at the sky.
Thats what this is. The hypersonic gliding nuclear delivery weapon is not a ICBM. ICBM go in a ballistic trajectory in an ARC. That arc is >1000 km large and we can track it with radars from a huge distance. HGV dont travel in arcs, just go at the level of airplanes and travel within <100 km of space with hypersonic maneuverability, so early radar range is extremely short as they dont have a large arc for us to detect those launches.
