China became the leader in the field of supersonic weapons: which missiles NVAK are the most dangerous

The Pentagon noted that US hypersonic missiles will not be equipped with nuclear warheads, as this will be "strategically destabilizing" factor. According to American intelligence, China has the world's largest arsenal of supersonic missiles that can affect American targets both nuclear and ordinary warheads. This was reported on March 12 at The Washington Times. It is noted that Russia is in second place, which also has "hypersonic" missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

These are three types of supersonative shunting weapons, which can also be equipped with both nuclear and ordinary warheads. Thus, such achievements of geopolitical opponents of the United States left the Americans behind in the most important aspect of a modern arms race.

Meanwhile, despite the fact that this type of weapons poses a considerable threat to the US security, the Pentagon does not plan to equip planned hypersonic missiles with nuclear warheads because of fears that such weapons will be strategically destabilizing.

Today, as a result of a few recent unsuccessful hypersonic weapons tests, the Pentagon is trying to catch up with China and Russia in the development and deployment of new high -speed missiles, which exceeds 5 strokes, that is, ie fiftees are more than the speed of sound.

The analyst of the National Center for Air Force Intelligence of the US Department of Defense Jeffrey McCormik noted that in the last two decades, China has conducted "impressive" trials and created hypersonic missiles for nuclear and normal blows to the United States. In this way, Beijing now has the "leading hypersonic arsenal in the world. " McCormic said that the most deadly hypersonic NVAK missile is DF-17, unfolded in 2020.

She is able to overcome at least 994 miles (1600 km), which will allow her to reach US military and fleet in the western Pacific. Pentagon officials emphasize that the development of hypersonic missiles in the United States is one of the most prominent issues of national defense of the country, since both Russia and China continue to develop their own programs at a "dizzying pace".

The Republican Congressman of the Lamborn Duh said that the joint missile program of the US Army and Fleet has failed to test, but the military is working to identify and troubleshoot and return programs to flight tests. "However, we are still far behind our opponents, even if everything goes according to the plan," Lamborn emphasized.

According to him, hypersonic missiles are a key component in a complex of opportunities required by the Joint Forces to restraint, and they are essential in the Indo-Pacific to counteract the Chinese forces. We will remind, the War Zone reviewers reported that the US Air Force remains open in the possibility of continuing work on the hypersonic arrw or AGM-183A hypersonic missile.
