Video Emerges That Shows China Is Actively Testing An Air-Launched Hypersonic Weapon.

Warzone/The Drive: Video Of Chinese Missile Carrier Jet Hauling What Appears To Be A Hypersonic Weapon Emerges 

The video could be the first visual evidence that China is actively testing an air-launched hypersonic weapon. Video has emerged out of China showing what appears to be an H-6N missile carrier aircraft with a massive weapon slung underneath it. The unique wedge-shaped profile of the missile's forward section points to the possibility that the missile is a hypersonic weapon system. In particular, the form factor looks similar to the one found on China's ground-launched DF-17 hypersonic weapon, which uses a ballistic missile to boost an unpowered DF-ZF hypersonic boost-glide vehicle to a velocity well over Mach 5 before the vehicle continues on maneuvering path through the atmosphere to its target. You can read our previous post on the DF-17 here. 

 China's work on air-launched adaptations of their ground-launched ballistic missiles is not necessarily new. An air-launched DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile is thought to have been in development for some time. The pursuit of an air-launched hypersonic boost-glide vehicle weapon by China should be expected, as well, but this could be the first time we are actually seeing it. 


WNU Editor: You got to love those plane spotters at airports. They reveal more than what the Chinese military wants you to see .... China releases footage of its air force conducting a live-fire drill after President Xi urged his army to 'focus on preparing for WAR' (Daily Mail).

I think after China has stolen countless trillions from the World, killed millions at home and countless abroad with their Wuhan virus and insulted us all when we asked questions, it's time for us to go on the offense and massively so

Also, considering that the Chinese ARE at war with us, culturally, politically and economically AND on top owe us countless trillions they will never pay back, we should start annexing land and just see what they'll do about it.

They owe is easily 30 trillion by now in theft, compounded interest and for the economic damages the Wuhan virus caused. Not even to mention the suffering they've caused.

I for one don't need China to be a country any longer and I know many, many who want China gone and I mean completely gone for what they've done and how they insulted us on top

Godless ghoulish creatures

I hope the first thing Trump does in his second term is to end all Visa programs for Chinese and send those spies packing.

None of the Chinese I know have spoken out against the crimes the CCP committed. In my book that makes them collaborators and they've lost all rights

Heaven forfend. America would never do such a thing. Oh, it already did over 50 years ago.

America would also never start illegal wars and kill millions of civilians on the other side of the planet. Oh, it did that too? Cool. cool.
