China Tests First Hypersonic Aircraft, Can Carry Nuclear Warheads thenewsminute.com

In a "technological breakthrough," China has successfully tested its first wave rider hypersonic aircraft that can carry nuclear warheads and break through any current generation anti-missile defence system due to its high speed and "unpredictable trajectory".

The test of the Xingkong-2, or Starry Sky-2, was conducted in a target range located in northwest China on Friday, China's state media reported.

It flew independently, made large-angle turning manoeuvres and landed in the targeted area as planned.
