Media reported the successful test of a hypersonic Chinese missile

China has tested a secret hypersonic missile. This was reported by The South China Morning Post (SCMP) on January 19.

As the media outlet notes with reference to researchers, Chinese air-to-air missiles have undergone extreme heat resistance tests to meet the requirements of the Air Force (Air Force) of the country's People's Liberation Army.

"This is the first official confirmation of the existence of this mysterious weapon," the material said.

Earlier, January 4, it was reported that Chinese scientists are developing an autocannon capable of firing 450 thousand shots per minute and shoot down missiles flying at hypersonic speeds of more than Mach 7 (8.3 thousand km/h).

At the end of December 2024, China showed the world's first sixth-generation fighter jet, Gazeta.Ru adds. Its unusual appearance indicated that Chinese designers were thinking the same way as their American counterparts and were trying to make the aircraft as less conspicuous as possible.
