Actually hypersonics. They only hit hypersonic speed during their ascent. Not during target acquisition, and descent. The US is only just starting to deploy real hypersonics, and they're still a bit temperamental, but accurate as long as they make it to the target.

This also applies to the Russian "hypersonic" missiles. They aren't hypersonics.
