Missile-launched Wu-14 glide vehicle designed for nuclear strike against U.S. through missile defenses
China conducted the third flight test of a new hypersonic missile this week as part of its strategic nuclear program and efforts to develop delivery vehicles capable of defeating U.S. countermeasures, defense officials said.
