Deputy Head of the Joint Committee of the Headquarters of the US Headquarters General John Heiten in an interview with CBSN spoke about the danger that a new Chinese hyperzvuky rocket carries for the United States and the whole world. According to Khaiten, this weapon will allow China to apply a successful first nuclear strike on the enemy.
The general stressed that over the past decades, neither one of the main nuclear powers – the United States and Russia has no opportunity to apply a successful first blow. This fact is the basis for preserving the balance of nuclear forces. If China breaks it, the world will be in danger.
Chinese hypersonic missiles have features, because of which their flight trajectory cannot be predicted. Long flight and maneuvering as close as possible to the Earth makes it difficult for radar to establish a real purpose for the rocket. It makes a rocket with a nuclear charge unexpected for the enemy.
Highita believes that these characteristics along with the information that China is building hundreds of mines to launch missiles, mean that one day Beijing will have the opportunity to apply an unrequited nuclear strike.
Earlier in the US, the test of the Chinese hypersonic rocket was compared with the launch of the “satellite-1” in the USSR. According to the head of the Joint Committee of the headquarters of the US headquarters, Mark Milli, a new weapon testifies to ahead of China’s other nuclear powers.
