In connection with China's reported launch of a "hypersonic missile," which flies at about five times the speed of sound and is said to be more difficult to intercept, the top of the U.S. military uniforms is from China. After acknowledging the implementation of the experiment, he expressed strong concern about improving the technological capabilities of the Chinese side.
The British economic newspaper Financial Times said that this summer, China conducted an experiment in which a "hypersonic missile" capable of carrying a nuclear warhead was mounted on a rocket and gliding from outer space toward a target on the ground. I told you.
"What we witnessed was a very important experiment with the ultra-supersonic weapon system," said Millie, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who is the head of the U.S. military uniform group, in an interview with the U.S. media. I admitted that I was confirming the implementation of the experiment.
And it is pointed out that this experiment is comparable to the shock of the United States when the Soviet Union at that time launched the first artificial satellite "Sputnik" in 1957. "I think it is quite close to that. We are extremely close. We are paying close attention to it, "he said, expressing strong concern about improving the technological capabilities of the Chinese side.
Hypersonic missiles are said to be more difficult to intercept because they can fly while changing their orbits, and the U.S. military is rushing to develop it with China's movements in mind, such as experimenting with related technologies this month. Mr. Millie's remarks show the magnitude of the impact that the Chinese launch experiment had on the United States.
