China could use its hypersonic weapons in surprise nuclear attack on US: top military official
Fox News
New details about China’s summer test of a new hypersonic weapon emerged during an interview this week with the second-highest ranking member of the U.S. military.
China ran two tests over the summer, according to The Financial Times. The first test, in July, launched a rocket that used a "fractional orbit bombardment" system to propel a nuclear-capable vehicle around the earth. China conducted the second test in August.
White House and Pentagon officials have avoided providing specific details about the tests, but Hyten provided the first details from any current official on the test.
Hyten revealed that China launched a long-range missile that circled the world and dropped a hypersonic vehicle that glided back to China and "impacted a target."
