Pentagon officials ‘baffled by Chinese hypersonic missile technology’ which could deploy a nuke | Daily Mail Online
A hypersonic weapon test carried out by China in July featured a missile fired at five times the speed of sound – a technological feat which no other country has demonstrated, according to US intelligence.
The hypersonic glide vehicle – a spacecraft with the ability to carry a nuclear warhead – fired a missile mid-flight over the South China Sea, catching Pentagon scientists unawares.
Well that’s not good.
