China confirmed conducting a test flight of a new hypersonic missile delivery vehicle capable of delivering nuclear warheads with record breaking speeds. The move is purely scientific and not targeted at any country, said the Defense Ministry.
„Our planned scientific research tests conducted in our territory are normal,“ said the Beijing Defense Ministry as cited by Reuters on Wednesday. „These tests are not targeted at any country and at any specific goals.“
The ministry’s statement confirmed a report by the Washington Free Beacon on Monday. The newspaper cited US Pentagon officials saying that a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) was detected flying at ten times the speed of sound over China on January 9.
