China successfully tested the new supersonic rocket that made the US worried about it

China has successfully tested a new type of supersonic missile capable of overcoming US missile defense systems if a real battle occurs.

This is the first test of China's supersonic missiles . This missile model can carry many nuclear warheads and threaten the enemy's defense systems because it is not possible to observe on the radar.

According to Chinese media, China's supersonic missiles have been tested in the northwest, China last Friday.Starry Sky 2 supersonic rocket possesses 6 times the speed of sound and can carry many nuclear warheads.

Starry Sky 2 was originally taken up by space boosters. After that, Starry Sky 2 quickly separated from the rocket's body and rushed to the intended target. According to the Chinese Space Weapons Academy, Starry Sky 2 can go at a maximum speed of 7,344 km / hour.

Starry Sky 2 can work at a maximum speed of 7,344 km / hour.

Also according to Chinese media, the rocket has completed excellent testing and landed on a hypothetical target as originally planned.

This is the first time China has officially confirmed the development of a supersonic weapon, although many sources have confirmed that China has begun to study this particular weapon since 2014. Supersonic missiles used The technology is called "waverider" , a technique that uses shockwaves to create aerodynamic lift for missiles to speed up the maximum.

Not only China, Russia and the United States are also the two powers racing the technology of producing supersonic missiles.

In order to fend off a supersonic missile, of course an advanced defense system is needed. However, the US missile defense system is being criticized for its high cost while the ability to detect and intercept supersonic missiles is still limited because transient, technology cannot keep up. .

According to Quartz, the Missile Defense Agency has requested additional expenses of up to $ 120 million in the Trump's 2019 budget plan. This amount is much higher than the 75 million USD in 2018 but will contribute to improving the US supersonic missile defense system.

Supersonic rockets have extremely unpredictable orbits.

Sharing about military relations between countries, Admiral Harry Harris, former head of the US Pacific Command and ambassador to Korea, said: "China's attempt to develop supersonic weapons are far ahead of us and the United States is lagging behind. "

Even US Air Force Commander John Hyten and commander of the US Strategic Command once affirmed: "We do not have any means to defend against that attack weapon."

Most of the current missile defense systems in the world are only capable of intercepting cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, missiles with lower velocities and easier predicting trajectories. Meanwhile, supersonic missiles with extremely unpredictable orbits and a great challenge to the predictability of the current defense system.
