China Tested A Nuclear-Capable Hypersonic Missile That Can Circle The Earth, Leaving The United States Stunned By The Chinese Glider

The Chinese Hypersonic Missile Test Took Place in August, Was Kept Secret, and Surprised U.S. Authorities

In August, China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile. The glider, which was transported by a rocket, caught the attention of U.S. authorities, demonstrating a capability that took U.S. intelligence by surprise, reported the Financial Times, citing five unidentified sources.

“The test showed that China made surprising progress in hypersonic weapons, and was much further advanced than U.S. authorities imagined,” the report said, citing people informed about intelligence matters.

The official U.S. report on Saturday night stated that Chinese military launched a Long March-type rocket developed by China. The hypersonic missile flew in low orbit, circling the Earth before heading toward its target, which it missed by about 20 kilometers.

China Denies Recently Testing Hypersonic Missile

The United States and Russia Are Also Manufacturing Nuclear Hypersonic Missiles

The United States and Russia are also developing hypersonic missiles, and last month North Korea claimed to have tested a newly developed hypersonic missile.

During a parade in 2019, China showcased the advancement of its armaments, including its hypersonic missile known as DF-17.

Ballistic missiles fly into outer space before returning on steep trajectories at higher speeds. Hypersonic weapons are difficult to stop with military defense systems because they approach targets at lower altitudes but can reach speeds of over five times the speed of sound – or about 6,200 km per hour (3,850 mph).

The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Will Be Chinese: Wind Turbines That China Plans to Use in the Construction of Its Most Ambitious Wind Farm Are More Powerful Than General Electric’s Haliade-X

The pulse kept by the United States and China touches many sticks. The competition is heating up between these two global superpowers, where no other country seems capable of participating. Over the past few months, both nations have announced the start of several wind farm construction projects, in which the largest wind turbines on the planet will intervene. By 2023, the United States expects to have completed a wind farm hosted on an island belonging to the state of Massachusetts, which will incorporate the monstrous Haliade-X wind turbines from General Electric (GE).
