Foreign media: A private aerospace company in China has become the world's first to start mass production of low-cost, high-performance hypersonic missiles, marking a major shift in military technology and the defense industry landscape.
Video shows that the YKJ-1000 hypersonic missile it developed successfully hit its target at a desert test site. The missile has a range of 500 to 1300 kilometers, a speed of 5 to 7 Mach, and can maintain powered flight for 6 minutes. Its launch vehicle resembles a standard container, making it easy to transport.
Its cost is only one-tenth of traditional missiles, and it can identify targets during flight and autonomously avoid threats, which could potentially break through defense systems such as aircraft carrier battle groups.
