China Tests Hypersonic Nuclear-capable Glide Vehicle by shina419(m): 7:18am On Jun 15, 2015 |
The Chinese Defense Ministry has confirmed the latest testing of a hypersonic nuclear-capable delivery system.The hypersonic glide vehicle, dubbed the“Wu-14” by thePentagon, successfully passed its fourth testing on June 7, RT reported on Sunday. The extremely advanced strategic system is capable of traveling at over 12,000 kilometers per hour, which is roughly 10 times the speed of sound.According to reports, duringthe latest test, the missile successfully carried out maneuvers showing its capability to penetrate missile defense systems.The US’s current missiledefense systems are only capable of countering ballistic missiles with predictable trajectories, unlike those ofWu-14.According to a report in the US-based online paper the Washington Free Beacon, US intelligence officials have described the tests as“extreme maneuvers.”“The Wu-14 …is designed topenetrate US missile defense systems, meaning the PLA (People Liberation Army) is capable of defending China’s territorial sovereignty,”RT quoted a defense policy specialist at the Shanghai University, Professor He Qisong, as saying.China’s Defense Ministry has denied such allegations saying that “The scheduled scientific research and experiments inour territory is normal, and those tests arenot targeted atany country and specific goals.”SRK/HSN/AS http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2015/06/14/415877/China-nuclear-hypersonic-missle |
