This is coolbert:
"U.S. military and private sector analysts quoted by the Financial Times said it would be 'destabilizing' if China developed the capability to deliver global nuclear strikes from space, using hypersonic delivery systems that could not be tracked or intercepted. China’s orbital test suggested it would be able to send its missiles over the South Pole if it desired, avoiding U.S. tracking systems concentrated on the North Pole."
Looked for cannot be seen. Listened for cannot be heard. Felt for cannot be touched. Hypersonic Chinese global reach?
CHINESE HYPERSONIC MISSILE TEST UNEXPECTED AND CAUSING GREAT CONSTERNATION [?] AMONG AMERICAN ANALYSTS?
First from the Internet web site Breitbart!
1. "China Stuns U.S. Intelligence with Hypersonic Missile Test"
"U.S. intelligence agencies were caught by surprise when China secretly tested a nuclear-capable low-orbit hypersonic missile in August, the Financial Times reported Saturday. The weapon circled the globe before descending upon its target, missing by about two dozen miles ]thirty-eight kilometers]."
Additionally and for the rest of the story courtesy the Internet web site Zero Hedge.
2. "China Denies Financial Times' Report Of Hypersonic Missile Test"
Article by Tyler Durden.
"Update (Monday 0700ET): On Monday, China's Foreign Ministry denied Financial Times' claim that the country had tested a hypersonic weapon in space, according to state-owned media outlet CGTN."
"'It was not a missile, it was a space vehicle,' ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters at a regular press briefing in Beijing when asked about FT's story."
We are not done with this. More to follow shortly. Chinese hypersonic in this case does represent a game-changer as they say. Perhaps and perhaps not.
