China launched a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August that sped around the globe in low-Earth orbit before striking a target, according to the Financial Times.
If a “nuclear-capable hypersonic missile” sounds kinda scary to you, well...it sounds even scarier to US intelligence officials, who were completely taken off guard by China’s advancement in hypersonic weapons. “We have no idea how they did this,” one source told the FT.
It’s a weapon that flies at 5x the speed of sound. That’s slower than a ballistic missile travels, but what makes hypersonic weapons more dangerous is that they can be manuevered during their flight—whereas ballistic missiles travel on a fixed parabola. Therefore, China could evade the US’ current defense systems and “execute a nuclear strike on any target on earth with near-impunity and very little warning"

Meanwhile leftists refuse to blame China for COVID-19 and any attack on China is deemed as racism. Idiocy 101.
