CHINA’S round-the-world hypersonic nuclear weapon fired a second missile while travelling five times faster than the speed of sound, reports claim.
No country had previously been able to demonstrate this advanced engineering feat and the test is said to have caught Pentagon scientists off guard....
...Experts at the Pentagon’s advanced research agency Darpa are said to be unsure how China achieved the feat, as scientists say it "tests the constraints of physics".
Military experts are said to have been poring over the data to discover how it was achieved.
They are also said to be discussing what the projectile might be for....

It may be shiny and showing off capabilities, but it may not have any serious military application.
All cancelled by dems because it would offend and provoke.
Huh? what? nukes firing missiles? the article defies science.
we had the sr71 in the 60s mach 4, I think we know something about high speed missiles.
Pure BS
Yup. Getting missile to go fast is easy. Getting it to go fast and hit a desired target is hard.
But, But, but
How can science be defied or even wrong?
The way the deep state has controlled things, even under Trump, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
How many of you schmuckf—ks are making chinese military jokes now?
I remember a video of a Russian jet that could do advanced aerobatics and it seemed to have the ability to turn on a dime. It caused a bit of a concern, but I haven’t seen anything of it since then.
Our military operates just like the Red Army after the Purge by Stalin just before Operation Barbarossa. We have eliminated competent officials in your military and promoted those who are loyal to the political ideals espoused by the Democratic Party.
This “cobra” maneuver is a typical show trick of the Russian/Chinese SU27 and MIG29 series, which constitute the bulk of their modern combat aircraft. All of them can do it if the pilot is up to it.
Yeah, but do they have equity in their armed forces?
Our versions probably involve the sort of technology best suited for abridging the rights of free American Citizens rather than countering foreign technology.
You’re talking tail walkers, right?
has Milley surrendered yet?
Let’s Go Bill! Clinton
Not the Cobra maneuver. It was more advanced than that.
The plane they showed literally could do flips in the air and turn 90 degrees.
When it did its flips, it was the somersaults that some people do at the beach. It was a classified video that somebody had sent to Art Bell, when he was doing his radio show.
It was impressive, but it hasn’t shown up in any planes, so it’s military value was probably not there. It was just fancy.
Aren’t all missiles hypersonic?
So in the cavalcade of lies that is the Media
we are expected to believe this, yeah okay
Does any proof of this um weapon exist? Jus asking for my sister from Missouri...
But big bad missiles do sound scary, yall.
