Aimed at B-21 Raider: China develops a secret hypersonic air-air missile

According to sources, the Chinese rocket is allegedly capable of developing up to 5 strokes and destroying targets up to 1000 km, practically excluding the possibility of intercepting. China officially announced the creation of a hypersonic air-air rocket that is able to dramatically change the balance of forces in the Air War. It is a prospective development that will make the Air Force resistant to American stealth bombers B-21 Raider. About it reports South China Morning Post.

The new hypersonic rocket is designed to destroy high-tech air goals, including the latest B-21. It is noted that one of the key features of the rocket is the ability to overcome the speed of 5 strokes, which allows to hit the targets at a distance of up to 1000 km, practically preventing interception. For testing the rocket, China used aerodynamic pipes with arc heating that mimic the extreme flight conditions.

The tests have shown that the rocket withstands a thousand degrees Celsius caused by aerodynamic friction. This indicates significant progress in solving the problem of structural integrity of hypersonic apparatus. Western analysts believe that the latest weapons of the PRC significantly exceeds the traditional means of defeat of the air-air class, because the hypersonic rocket does not depend on complex data transmission channels, which increases its accuracy and reduces vulnerability to the HR.

At the same time, weapons are still testing, and accurate tactical and technical characteristics, as well as the name of the rocket, are not yet disclosed. "Chinese Air-Air Hypersonic rocket marks a turning point in the evolution of modern war, setting a new standard of speed, range and deadly weapons that runs from the air. While the world is watching the technological race that unfolds, the consequences for future air battles Revolutionary and uncertain, ”experts summed up.
