China Achieves Major Breakthrough in Hypersonic Missile Technology

Foreign Media: China has surpassed the United States in the field of hypersonic weapons.

The CJ-1000 hypersonic missile showcased by China is the world's first and currently the only land-based hypersonic missile in service, featuring an advanced air-breathing scramjet engine. Unlike glide warheads, the CJ-1000 flies at a lower altitude (20 to 30 kilometers), making it harder to detect by enemy air defense radars.

The magazine "Naval Weapons" analyzed that China has shifted from catching up to leading in the hypersonic field. The emergence of the CJ-1000 marks a major breakthrough in China's aerospace field, which may leave enemy air defense systems "powerless to respond."
