Keeping the world in the dark, China is testing a nuclear missile from space

The shocking claim of the British newspaper

The nuclear-armed missile was sent to the lower orbit of space, completed one revolution of the earth and the missile struck the earth.

Announcing each test, China kept the new test secret, not even the world leader America knew

BEIJING: China tested a hypersonic nuclear missile from space last August, keeping the world in the dark. According to a report in the British newspaper Financial Times, the nuclear-armed missile was sent to the lower orbit of space.

From here the missile circled the earth once and then struck its target. According to the report, the test was not a complete success, but even the United States was unaware of China's big move. Which is why the intelligence agencies of countries including the United States are currently in a state of shock.

In a report published by the Financial Times, announcing each of these missile tests, China kept the test very secret and the test was not a complete success as the missile struck 32 kilometers away from its intended target.

The newspaper, citing Gups sources, claimed that the Long March rocket sent a hypersonic glide vehicle into space. US intelligence agencies are also surprised by the release of the test reports.

US Defense Department spokesman John Kirby said he did not want to comment on the report. However he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat China's military capabilities. Which will cause problems and worries in different parts of the world. This is why the United States sees China as the number one challenge.

The test, conducted in August 2021, is highly confidential. The report claims that if China succeeds in this latest technology, it will beat the world's air defense system. The missile may have fallen 32 kilometers from its intended target, but the move shows that the dragon is working fast to develop its capability.

Worldwide bet for hypersonic nuclear missiles

In addition to China, the United States, Russia and seven other countries are also working on hypersonic nuclear missiles. Russia is currently at the forefront of hypersonic missiles. Hypersonic missiles carry nuclear weapons just like other missiles but have speeds up to five times the speed of sound.

Normal missiles run on ballistic trajectory, meaning they can be easily tracked. This gives the enemy a chance to prepare and counter attack. The speed of a hypersonic missile is so high that the enemy has no idea about its route and target. So there is concern around the world that even the air defense systems of all countries will not be able to track such missiles when they are used.
