I read in a newspaper that we can't predict the trajectory of a hypersonic missile and that this property renders the missile undetectable.

However, what I could not understand is that why can't we predict it's trajectory? What factors we have to look for predicting the trajectory of such high speed missiles? Is this feature associated with its speed? I know there would be forces like the thrust from the propulsion, gravity, and the drag force. Is there anything else affecting the trajectory?

Help me with this.
