    Yeah I think manoeuvrability at hypersonic speeds is the main factor, so not sure how pershing ii is classified.

            I asume its the same for other us warheads claimed to be hypersonic like the minute man ones. Is this also the case for similar gizmos in use by other countries like iran?
