China’s hypersonic nuke ‘fired a SECOND missile mid-flight’

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.

Last month China stunned the world when it emerged it launched a hypersonic missile right around the globe.

Now it has been revealed the weapon is far more advanced than originally thought.

The hypersonic glide vehicle, a manoeuvrable spacecraft which can carry a nuclear warhead, fired a separate missile during its flight in the atmosphere over the South China Sea on July 27, according to a Financial Times report.

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 was fired by the hypersonic vehicle but seems to have had no obvious target, before it plunged into the water.

Some Pentagon experts believe the projectile was an air-to-air missile while others think it was a countermeasure to destroy missile defence systems so that they cannot shoot down the hypersonic weapon.

China has stolen the technology that America has never owned!Good job! 😂

[chinahamyku]

The reason is simple, isn't the United States clamoring for fierce competition with China? China is now showing the United States what fierce competition in the true sense is.

[lolarules.]

obsessed with murder & control.
sick of this world

[brownwarrior]

Flat Earthers wait patiently for their simulation upload 🧐

[antonioklashinkov]

America is concerned there is a new bully in town....

[watb]

for the first attempt that is really impressive and manage to circle the earth and return. Even US can't get the hypersonic quick launch system up, it has been at least 5 trials and all failed

[theinfralink]

I believe this is good for world peace if it’s true. It’s a balance to the aggressive posture the US led western world to China and Russia. China doesn’t have enough number of nuclear warheads and the only way to assure MAD is to improve the quality of the delivering vehicles to increase its success rate. China still has no first use policy with regard to nuclear weapons.

Maybe if we weren't too busy discussing whether or not men can have a cervix things like this wouldn't catch us off guard.

[Jojohumf]

Smoke and mirrors China controls a number of US & European businesses. Our economies depend on china’s cooperation.

[rickrolld]

US: I know how to beat China! Let's do a military build u-
China: I just made a brand new hypersonic missile within 20 hours of the US announcing a military arms build up, and today we will be making that one missile into a thousand, and retrofitting them with anti matter
US: *screams*

[limcheating]

the missile landed on desert, huge desert, how did you determine it missed the target?

[KXMKR]

Don't worry, America. You have what's her name and her two moms to protect you!

[thetreekeeper]

Well done China!! 🇨🇳💪 This will make the US government think twice before invading the China.

[fr.ningsulistyowati]

The scariest part is " made in china "

[paulp]

It won’t bother us in NorthYorkshire we’ll just think it’s the Swiss Air Force again going super sonic we are hardy folk in the north 👍

[ndy]

That's a message China sent it to everybody ( Don't F...k with me) 😂😂🤣

[munmunbarua]

Don't worry india, u r not worth of this type costly attack by China 🤣

[wibbletthewobblet]

The Chinese have fairly got their act together since we stopped forcing them to do drugs 🇬🇧

[BruvaBob]

So glad the gov are focused on the important things going on in the world!

[shaankarim]

America have such technology. No one talk about it. Hypocrisy
