For those Western countries, anyone who is different from its path is its enemy, and our country and those Western countries have always taken different paths, but our country has made new breakthroughs in recent years, which is also to make those Western countries that are still standing in the same place very red-eyed, and these Western countries will hype up a little bit, trying to stop our country's actions and restrict our country's development through this speculation. Recently, the topic that these Western countries have been hyping has become China's "nuclear arsenal" and "hypersonic missile technology" that has made great achievements.
It is reported that not long ago, a British media called the Financial Times published an article in which it said that China test-fired a hypersonic missile in August this year, but this missile is different from the previous hypersonic missile, it is in the flight orbit after flying around the earth, and then return into the atmosphere to start its "hypersonic gliding", and finally fell to hit the target, the error is about 30 kilometers. Hearing the error of 30 kilometers, do you think that this error is also too big? In fact, as a top weapon, the power of this missile is very huge, the explosive power can fully cover 30 kilometers, so the error of 30 kilometers is also harmless, but it is just necessary to continue to improve its accuracy.
In this article, it trumpeted the threat of this missile to Western countries, saying that this missile can break through any existing air defense system, and even americans who have always proud to believe that they are the first in the world have to admit that "the technology of the hypersonic missile that China has tested this time looks far more advanced than that of the United States", and the newly appointed Secretary of the Air Force Kendall said that "China has made a huge breakthrough in orbital strike capabilities and will bring huge threats and challenges to the United States". A British military officer even told the Financial Times: This is simply incredible, and I don't know how Chinese did it. And this has sparked a new round of discussion: Why has China made tremendous progress in recent years, but those Western countries have unanimously disapproved of or even underestimated China?
As early as ten years ago, the then US Secretary of Defense was still Gates, he said that "China can not develop a fifth-generation aircraft", but not long after he said this, China's J-20 has successfully completed the first flight. This situation is also very common, those Western countries have always considered themselves superior, look down on others, in the face of China's successive achievements and even some achievements beyond themselves, they will think that China is "plagiarism and plagiarism" to achieve such a great achievement, so how did hypersonic missiles plagiarize?
To know that as a new concept weapon, the definition of it is different in various countries, generally believe that the weapon that can reach the flight speed of Mach 5 in the atmosphere can be called hypersonic weapons, at present only China and Russia have this weapon, of which China's achievements are the most significant, with the DF-17 hypersonic missile, and has actually been installed and used. Although Russia has a number of hypersonic missiles such as the Dagger, the Vanguard, and the Zircon, they are not officially listed in the army. Unlike conventional missiles, which fly in the atmosphere most of the time and are so fast, existing air defense systems are difficult to intercept.
The weapon reported by the Financial Times is a little different from the previous hypersonic missiles, it is an "orbital hypersonic weapon", this missile can fly to low Earth orbit, then fly around, and then lock on to the target and enter the atmosphere for hypersonic coasting, theoretically can hit any place in the world. This "on-orbit hypersonic weapon" can theoretically break through all the air defense systems in the world, because the current air defense system is through the calculation of the flight trajectory of the missile, for those in orbit "space-grade weapons" are difficult to intercept, and this weapon can also be hypersonic coastal again after entering the atmosphere, so that even the interception system that calculates the flight trajectory will be disrupted again, thus intercepting failure. However, because the technology involved in this weapon is too complex, some experts in the United States also believe that China has only conducted experiments at present, and cannot be deployed.
However, all of our weapons development and military deployments are only for the purpose of defending our territorial sovereignty and safeguarding national security, and have no intention of launching aggression against others.
