China Successfully Tests Hypersonic Missile
Seventh test of new DF-ZF glider tracked over northern China

China successfully flight tested its new high-speed maneuvering warhead last week, days after Russia carried out its own hypersonic glider test, according to Pentagon officials.

The test of the developmental DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle was monitored after launch Friday atop a ballistic missile fired from the Wuzhai missile launch center in central China, said officials familiar with reports of the test.

The maneuvering glider, traveling at several thousand miles per hour, was tracked by satellites as it flew west along the edge of the atmosphere to an impact area in the western part of the country.

It was the seventh successful flight test of the revolutionary glider, which travels at speeds between 4,000 and 7,000 miles per hour.

U.S. intelligence officials have assessed that China plans to use the glider to deliver nuclear weapons through increasingly sophisticated missile defenses. The DF-ZF also could be used as part of a conventional strategic strike weapon capable of hitting targets around the world within an hour.

Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Bill Urban declined to comment on the latest DF-ZF flight test. “But we do monitor Chinese military modernization carefully,” Urban said.

Rep. Randy Forbes (R., Va.), chairman of the House Armed Services subcommittee on seapower, said China’s hypersonic missile tests are a concern.

“China’s repeated test of a hypersonic glide vehicle demonstrates Beijing is committed to upending both the conventional military and nuclear balance, with grave implications for the stability of Asia,” Forbes told the Washington Free Beacon.

Adm. Cecil Haney, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, said Jan. 22 that the new hypersonic glide vehicle is among an array of high-technology missiles and weapons, both nuclear and conventional, being developed and deployed by Beijing.

China “recently conducted its sixth successful test of a hypersonic glide vehicle, and as we saw in September last year, is parading missiles clearly displaying their modernization and capability advancements,” Haney said.

China has kept details about the DF-ZF program secret. In March 2015, a Defense Ministry spokesman confirmed one of the hypersonic missile tests after the test was reported in the Free Beacon. The spokesman said the missile test was not aimed at any country and was done for scientific research.

U.S. seeks to approve attack aircraft for Nigeria in Boko Haram fight

WASHINGTON, May 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. administration is seeking to approve a sale of as many as 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to Nigeria to aid its battle against the extremist group Boko Haram, U.S. officials say, in a vote of confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari's drive to reform the country's corruption-tainted military.

@ this point in the anti terror effort with the success already recorded and with Nigeria knowing the fact that the US is seeking for glory credits by selling its equipment to Nigeria, then I think it would be fool hardy to just settle for Tucanos. If the US is not ready to sell us A10 Wathogs then let them forget it. Nigeria will not continue dropping bombs in its territory forever what happens when we are done with Boko Haram will the Tucanos be used as trainers. Super Tucanos? Nonsense.I was in a class on intel management the other day and the good professor talked about the day a submarine showed up in Lagos how the guys in the Nigerian defense head quarters were almost peeing their pants because they knew nothing about its presence in Nigerian waters. Up until this moment nothing have been done about it. But I know that we may buy super Tucanos at the closing phase of a war that we fought the hardest parts with obsolete airframes with much success because there are those who must benefit from each spurious arms deal, those who do not know if there is a national interest to care about. If we need super Tucanos why not buy new ones from Embraer Brasil directly?
