'Question of an arms race' around China's hypersonic missiles

China has joined the race for new long-range missiles, which are harder to detect and intercept, but the weapons test appears to have missed its target.

Perth USAsia Centre CEO Gordon Flake says the international arms community is considering this to be “another Sputnik moment”.

“Not necessarily because of fancy words like hypersonic … this is a missile that could circumnavigate the globe in subspace and then could glide in a different approach at speeds that could exceed the speed of sound,” he told Sky News Australia.

Mr Flake said the hypersonic missiles were significantly slower than ballistic missiles, but because they can change trajectory and approach from all angles, it makes them more of a threat.

“It’s the question of an arms race, right, and if you’re looking at this from an arms control perspective, it’s certainly not a good thing,” he said.

Mr Flake said countries like the United States, Russia, and China should “get serious” about the capabilities of these weapons so as to not “slip back into a full on Cold War”.

PRC: hypersonic missiles
USA: hypersensitive pronouns

[Mr.wilson]

Meanwhile in America we cannot decide who uses which bathroom, pathetic!

[strategicviewpoint]

Yeah well China is also working upon biological weapons that target race or ethnicity, and they know biological warfare

[The.Occupier]

World leaders will press their nuclear buttons then scurry away into their luxury bunkers while watching us all suffer on their huge cinema screens

[thejordanianphilosopher]

Australia thinks it can fight China 😂😂😂

[jagsingh]

We call out 1, an INDEPENDENT investigation into Australian war crimes in Afghanistan; 2, an INDEPENDENT investigation into why top Australian government and military officials murdered the Australian soldiers who did the massacre in Afghanistan; 3, setting up of an international court to punish Australian war criminals; 4, UN to sanction Australian trade, culture communication and so on with other countries.

the most crucial thing about this missile is that is can maneuver and avoid radar detection systems. who cares if it miss by 24 miles. a thermonuclear weapon can bring down a whole city that is thousands of miles.

[peteskipetek]

Oh yeah up here in Canada we don't have any nuclear powered missile we have bows an arrows a couple sling shots

The Chinese hypersonic missile has flown more than 40, 000 kilometers around the earth,
with an error of only 32 kilometers, which is actually very accurate.
This technique is called [Qian Xuesen Ballistics] in the scientific community.
It was invented by Qian Xuesen, the father of Chinese missiles, in 1949, and Qian Xuesen is also a core figure in American missile technology.

On domestic news

Australian Debt
2013= $257.370 billion
2020= $684.298 billion
an Increase of $426.928 billion
Before covid.

Australian GDP per capita
2013 =$68, 150.11 USD
2020 =$52, 158.382 USD
Before covid.

But no fear mongering about an economic crisis from the Murdoch propaganda machine??

Obviously all that lost revenue is being siphoned in someone's direction because it's certainly hasn't gone to the Australian Middle class.

Ah what a lot of scaremongering BS, the doppler shifted noise on the starlink system will alert you to pretty much everything below 550 km altitude.

[braddavidson]

But they're a developing country so we need to keep giving them money and exclude them from the global carbon tax while we're at it. 👉BULL$HIT👈 🚫🥠
🇺🇸 Let's Go Brandon 🇺🇲

[ehxiong]

We should be concerned. We need to re‐evaluate our priorities around the world and end this zero sum game. Designated Survivor is very real!

[reyter]

Russia has already deployed land launched, sea launched, air launched, hypersonic missiles and intercontinental missiles. Submarine launched launched hypersonic missiles are in an advanced state of testing. 2 successful launches were carried out in September. Russia won the race for hypersonic missiles. China is in second place. USA may or may not come third. I'm just wondering what the Russians are working on now. now they are no longer working on hypersonic missile tech.

[goodyear]

😆 the west have been back engineering technologies from other dimensions for decades and the Chinese are screwed

[TheQubern]

Are u qualified to acess the weapons between superpowers

[mvnorsel]

The arms race started last month when Australia acquired 8 nuclear submarines.

[arturobayangos]

Remember how China stiffled India’s Agni 5 launch then secretly fired their own hypersonic missile ?

[rajkishorebehera]

India will have to develop this too for deterrence against china

The harvest has begun!God demands repentance from everyone!

"... repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand "(Matthew 3: 2)

"...10 And he said unto me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.

11 Let the unrighteous still do unrighteousness; let the unclean still be defiled; let the righteous still do righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.

12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, that I may reward every man according to his works.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last.

14 Blessed are those who keep his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter the city by the gate.

15 But outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and does unrighteousness.

16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness to you in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come, and let him who is desirous take the water of life freely.

18 And I also bear witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will put on him the plagues that are written in this book;

19 And if anyone takes away anything from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away from him his part in the book of life, and in t7he holy city, and in what is written in this book.

20 He who bears witness to these things says, " I am coming soon." Amen to that. Hey, come on, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen to that."

Revelation of John the Evangelist, 22:10-21

"But as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the coming of the Son of Man: for as in the days before the flood they ate, and drank, and married, and were married, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not think until the flood came and destroyed them all, so will be the coming of the Son of Man; then there will be two in the field: one is taken, and the other is left; two grinding in the millstones: one is taken, and the other is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know at what hour your Lord will come"(Matthew 24: 32)
