Looks like both Pakis and Chinese don't know the answer to
. Looks like these guys don't seem to understand Physics and Mathematics, that's why they seem to rely on powerpoint presentations and photoshopped pictures. So let us educate them, the below is a video of Russian subsonic missile flying just at an altitude of 10-15 meters.

Subsonic speeds are below Mach 1 which is roughly 1235 km/h. The missile in the video might be traveling at 400-500 km/h. Because it is traveling at such a low altitude it will be undetected until it is too late by air defenses. Now with
it is totally different ball game. It is traveling at Mach 2.8-3.0. That is roughly 3,400 km/h.
also has the same altitude profile. If it is launched near to your air defense systems then you barely have any time to react. This is how it goes, your radar needs to detect the missile, and then identify the threat profile, track it consistently, get a lock and then fire a SAM. All this takes 15 seconds in the best case scenario. By that time it would have traveled 15-20 km. Most radars have difficulty tracking something that fast to lock on to it.
There is nothing in Pakis arsenal or even Chinese arsenal at this point to intercept supersonic or hypersonic missiles although the later has made lot of progress towards developing hypersonic weapon systems.
