The only purpose of hypersonic missiles is to deliver nuclear payloads in as manner that evades sophisticated missile defense systems. It's highly improbable that Russia will resort to nuclear weapons against Ukraine and, if they genuinely have hypersonics capable of delivering payloads of any type, are willing to utilize them in a way that allows extensive adversarial data collection.
