There is a certain military that is happy to test those weapons against real russian targets :)

I think they wouldn't want to use the absolutely newest and greatest tech there for fear the Russkies will figure out something from the wreckage.

There's plenty of not quite the latest cutting edge stuff sitting in storage that could be donated, though.

I'd argue Ukraine would be better served by the ~1000 ATACMS (in service 1991-) sitting in storage with their expiration dates rapidly approaching, than by a small number of some prototype hypersonic missiles.

Sure. And even better served by a suitable number of F16s (in service 1980).
