Want China Times: Fourth test of China's WU-14 hypersonic glide vehicle confirmed

A fourth test of China's ultra high-speed hypersonic glide vehicle for nuclear delivery called the WU-14 was carried out by the People's Liberation Army last week, Bill Gertz, senior editor of the Washington Free Beacon, wrote in an article published on June 11.

Gertz said the test was conducted on June 7. As this is the the fourth test of the WU-14 in the past 18 months, US intelligence analysts believe the PLA has set a high priority on the development of the vehicle. The first WU-14 test is understood to have taken place on Jan. 9, 2014, followed by further tests on Aug. 7 and Dec. 2. All four tests have been conducted at the same facility in western China, the report said.
