Senior U.S. military officials said that China's suspected high supersonic weapon system testing is a "very worrying" situation when competition between Washington and Beijing is continuously upgraded.
According to Bloomberg, Mark Milley, chairman of the United States Chiefs of Staff, said in an interview: "What we see is a major event for the test of hypersonic weapon system testing. This is very worrying. I don't know this.Can you be regarded as a Sputnik moment, but I think it is very close. It attracts our entire attention. "
Spetenick was the first human satellite launched by the former Soviet Union in 1957. It made the former Soviet Union leading in the space competition and shocked the United States.
The Financial Times previously quoted unnamed US officials that the Chinese military may conduct two hypersonic weapons tests in summer, including launching near -ground rail high -speed weapons that can carry nuclear warheads into space.
If the next -generation technology is perfected, it may be used to launch nuclear warheads to Antarctic, causing them to bypass the US anti -missile system arranged in the northern hemisphere.
It is reported that Milly compares China's experiments with Spritnick at all times, showing the United States' concerns about Beijing's hypersonic weapons.
Frank Kendall, the US Air Force, mentioned the potential of this Chinese space system in his speech last month. This system is called "some rail bombing system" during the Cold War, that is, enter the near -place first place.The orbit is separated from the track to hit the target.
Gregory Hayes, CEO of Thunder God, said on Tuesday that the United States has lags behind China for several years in "at least" hypersonic technology.
China has denied reports, saying that it only launch a repeated spacecraft.
