US Media: China Develops First Hypersonic Glide Vehicle Capable of Attacking Air Targets
Bloomberg, citing informed sources, reported that China has developed its first hypersonic glide vehicle capable of launching air-to-air missiles to strike aerial targets.
According to Bloomberg: "The Chinese military has developed a hypersonic glide vehicle capable of launching air-to-air missiles, an enhancement designed to target particularly critical objectives—such as airborne command aircraft thousands of miles away."
Bloomberg explained that this glide vehicle is a warhead capable of maneuvering within the atmosphere to reach its target, making it difficult to intercept. It remains unclear whether other countries possess similar weapons, which are also equipped with systems capable of destroying aerial targets.
Bloomberg noted that these weapons would play a crucial role in the event of conflict.
Additionally, according to one informed source, China has also equipped some hypersonic cruise missiles with air-to-air missile capabilities and incorporated anti-ship abilities into various types of missiles.
