Top US general says China hypersonic test is 'very concerning'
CNN
The top US general said China's test of a hypersonic weapon over the summer was "very concerning" and that "it has all of our attention."
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, speaking to Bloomberg Television, stopped short of calling the test a "Sputnik moment" but he did acknowledge "it's very close to that." He called the test of the weapon "a very significant technological event" that is just one element of China's military capabilities.
It was the first official acknowledgment of the test from the Pentagon, which has so far declined to comment.
