US Has Developed A Hypersonic Missile To Counter China
US has developed a hypersonic missile. China endured with this dangerous weapon of America, know what its potential is, what is the danger to the dragon.
Amid escalating tensions with China, the US has begun to nurture its security arrangements. In this sequence, the US has developed a hypersonic missile.
This missile is capable of covering a distance of up to six thousand kilometers in an hour. This missile may soon join the US Army.
Lieutenant General L. Neil Thurgood said that this hypersonic weapon has the potential to change the combat system in the future.
He said that therefore the US Ministry of Defense is emphasizing its development. What is the capability of a hypersonic missile? What is the danger to China.
US has developed a hypersonic missile: The missile will be Inducted into the army till September
It is being claimed in the US media that a special unit in the American Army is also being trained for this missile. It is also being claimed that this missile will soon join the army.
However, the Ministry of Defense has not yet confirmed this. Meanwhile, Lieutenant General L. Neith Thurgood, director of the US Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technology Office, has claimed that the missile will be commissioned by September.
He has also claimed that the missile has met all the standards during its tests.
China’s DF-17 missile threatens America
The US is threatened by China’s DF-17 hypersonic missile. This Chinese missile is capable of reaching its target 2500 kilometers away. The missile was first displayed by China on its 70th anniversary.
The weight of this missile is 1500 kg. Its length is 11 meters. This missile is capable of carrying nuclear warheads. Considering China’s DF-17 capability, the US is trying to upgrade its defense technology.
The first test was done in 2017
The prototype of the missile was first tested by the US in October 2017, but in 2020 the hypersonic missile was successfully tested.
The test was carried out jointly by the Army and Navy. This information was given by Vice Admiral Johnny Wolfe.
The hypersonic missile is considered the world’s fastest attack missile. This can change the map of any war. Its speed can also dodge radar and air defense systems.
China also started preparations
In December 2019, Russia presented a new challenge to the US by making Avangard hypersonic missile. Russia claims that its missile is about to attack the enemy at a speed of 33 thousand kilometers per hour (Mach 27).
It is impossible to take action to stop the missile from flying at this speed with any radar. China is also working towards making hypersonic missiles.
In its national parade in October 2019, it demonstrated the high-speed DF-17 missile but it is suspected to be hypersonic.
US hypersonic missile
A hypersonic missile can fly at least five times faster than the speed of sound (1235 km / h). Such missiles have a minimum speed of 6174 km / h. These missiles are equipped with features of both cruise and ballistic missiles.
This missile goes out of Earth’s orbit after launching. It then targets the target. Radars are also unable to catch them due to the high speed.
In December 2019, the Avangard hypersonic missile, which was 27 times faster than sound, was inducted into its army.
