China Conducts First Test of New Ultra-High Speed Missile Vehicle

[CCP]

no...you forgot the concept---"战术核武器" --tactical nuclear weapon.

proposed target ,range and warhead performance should be the key difference

ok, then why it can not be strategic?

look at badguy2000's picture and read this


前部弹道为运载火箭式的，打到300公里高度后再入大气层，利用气动控制面进入滑翔状态，类似航天飞机的返航状态，不过一个是加速过程，一个减速过程。滑翔阶段可以为无动力形式也可以是有动力形式，再入大气层的速度比同级能量的弹道导弹要慢，但能量利用的经济性较好，特别是弹道飘忽，很难准确预测，且便于实现全程制导，处于目前主流防空体系的空白处，可以将下行阶段理解为在高高空以高马赫数机动飞行的飞行器。该弹道形式可重复进行，形成"跳跃"å¼¹é“，火箭发动机不太适用于"跳跃"å¼¹é“，但超燃冲压发动机非常适合"跳跃"å¼¹é“，大气层内发动机工作，以弹道形式冲出大气层，以滑翔形式进入大气层，发动机在大气层内工作，积累足够的能量后，再次跃升、下滑，重复N次，到达目的地后完成最后一次下滑。

@badguy2000, I have not seen any details abt your claim, Nor you provided what asked abt which is very much related with your claim ..

Instead you have taken the easy way out by avoiding it by offtopic ..

==================

I will ask you for last time, Please provide details how Shaurya a hypersonic System is different from what China tested now in Hypersonic league, @LETHALFORCE Sir, Is correct in his views ..

Also dont say that its glide, Every airborne vehicle glide, Power or with sheer kinetic force..

Trying to start dick measuring contests - as @LETHALFORCE often does whenever a Chinese program is revealed - will always lead to comparing the incomparable.

K15 is a ballistic missile with less range than a tomahawk, that carries a warhead (much like any other ballistic missile).

The vehicle we're discussing isn't a powered ballistic missile at all.
It's a maneuvering glide vehicle that's placed on an ICBM and launched at an altitude of circa 100km, from where it follows a flat, high altitude guided flight path to its target. It has no engines at all, so no @LETHALFORCE, it doesn't use a scramjet.

At least that's the objective; we don't even know if the test was successful or not, or even what part of the flight path was being tested. The American report didn't detail any of that info.
Nor did the very brief Chinise defense ministry confirmation.

So please people, hold off on the nonsensical nationalistic comparisons until we have additional information on the test or its results.

I am sure you had a good read of this thread, If so i suggest not to troll ..

Simple question for chinese members. Does this hypersonic glider use a scramjet?

You should ask this simple question to those american military analysists and media, it is their fault to claim that US and China are the only 2 countries tested this kind of weapon.

In that case provide some links from the horse moth or just quite down ..

China flight tests hypersonic missile vehicle, reports say
-Stars and Stripes

China flight-tested a hypersonic missile delivery vehicle capable of going Mach 10 last week, according to multiple media reports.

The Jan. 9 test involved a Chinese flight vehicle called the WU-14, which is supposed to be capable of travelling up to Mach 10, according to the reports.

The ultra high-speed flight test over China was confirmed via the Pentagon by The Washington Free Beacon.

According to Agence France-Presse, the test would make China only the second country after the U.S. to have conducted experimental flights with hypersonic vehicles.

Reuters received a fax confirmation from the Chinese Defense Ministry saying the test was for scientific purposes.

"These tests are not targeted at any country and at any specific goals," said the release quoted by Reuters.

China has continued its growth in defense budget spending—as much as $215 billion in 2012. While cuts and sequestration have contracted the DOD's budget, it was still in the $600 billion range last year.

Three members of the House Armed Services Committee issued a joint statement after the hypersonic test by China, saying recent defense cuts have damaged America's technological advantage.

"The Asia Pacific is fast becoming a powder keg. Allowing nations that do not share our respect for free and open avenues of commerce to gain a strategic advantage over the United States and her allies only brings us closer to lighting the fuse," read the joint statement from HASC Chairman Rep. Howard McKeon (R-Calif.), Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) and Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.).

Mach 10 means 10 times the speed of sound and in the range of 7,680 mph.
