More dire than thought. Two tests and not just one. The Chinese hypersonic missile just tested indeed a game changer?

From the English tabloid Daily Mail an intelligence update and the article by CHRIS PLEASANCE.

"Revealed: China 'has tested TWO hypersonic orbital nukes capable of breaching missile defenses' as panicked analysts say it 'defies the laws of physics' and is unlike any weapon the US has"

" * China has carried out two tests of an orbital vehicle believed to be a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile  * First test took place on July 27 while [the] second took place on August 13, intelligence sources have claimed  * Scientists are still trying to work out exactly what the 'weapon' is capable of and say it appears to 'defy the laws of physics' and is unlike any technology the US has developed "

"China is thought to have carried out two tests of a hypersonic orbital nuke - the first on July 27 and the second on August 13 this year. Observers believe the 'weapon' is an updated version of a Soviet concept called a 'Fractional Orbital Bombardment System', or FOBS. It is designed to evade powerful US radar systems and anti-missile defenses designed to shoot down traditional ICBMs by flying in low-Earth orbit, making it harder to spot, track and destroy".
