China Conducts Fourth Test of Wu-14 Strike Vehicle

[Beast]

Do Chinese have any equivalent defense for Brahmos and will Russia sell Brahmos to China despite reservations from India? Tricky questions

CX-1 which equal INdian Brahmos but reject by PLA service cos we have something better.

DF-21D needs to be given an HGV warhead as a matter of priority. Which would extend the range, increase the accuracy, and put much of the world's oceans under its targeting capability.

In the past 200 years our biggest threats have come from across the sea.

DF-26。

First Hypersonic missile is gonna be the Indo-Russian Brahmos II
Russia has already made the higher specific energy fuel . and India has already completed wind tunnel tests.
Coming anytime after late 2017

I think wu-14 is a hypersonic glide vehicle for prompt global strike or long range detterence and brahmos is a hypersonic cruise missile for tactical advantage in a skirmish or regional conflict, they are in different league for different purpose and not comparable, it's like to compare orange with pizza

THese chinkies brag about we are that, we are going to do that, we will do this, we will take this

But you or us should think why,and how can we catch up

Yes that is a big question. We as asians should work hard to make our nations again the cultural and knowledge center of the world.
China should test Hypersonic engines we are testing them too. They are just the stepping stones to our long road ahead.

Poor guys, we have weed out plasma tv for many years


maybe they have already test…
but no news obviously…

Nope. It would have been caught. Hypersonics have a signature effect on the air that can be tracked by sats.
Wind tunnel tests are a different game altogether.

CX-1 is for export.

PLA is using YJ-12 for aircraft.

YJ-18 for ships.

BEIJING: Chinese defence ministry has confirmed the test of a supersonic nuclear delivery vehicle, a move described by the US as an "extreme manoeuvre" amid tension in the South China Sea.

The fourth successful test of hypersonic glide vehicle - which the US has dubbed the "Wu-14" - was carried out on Sunday. It was the People Liberation Army's fourth test of the weapon in 18 months.

"The scheduled scientific research and experiments in our territory is normal, and those tests are not targeted at any country and specific goals," Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted the defence ministry as saying.

But military observers said the frequency of the tests showed Beijing was reinforcing its nuclear deterrent in response to Washington's continued interference in China's territorial disputes in the region, the Post reported.

US website the Washington Free Beacon, which first reported about the test, said the new strike vehicle is considered a high-technology strategic weapon capable of delivering nuclear or conventional warheads while travelling on the edge of space.

One of its key features is the ability to manoeuvre to avoid US missile defences, it said.

The Wu-14 was assessed as travelling up to 10 times the speed of sound, or around 7,680 miles per hour, it said.

Unlike earlier tests, the latest test demonstrated what one official called "extreme maneuvers" that appeared to analysts designed for penetrating through missile defense systems, it said.

The test took place a day before Central Military Commission vice-chairman Fan Changlong left for a week-long visit to the US. He since completed the visit during which he held talks with US Defence Secretary Ashton Carter.

Experts say the launch was timed to raise Fan's bargaining power in discussions with the US, as well as to express Beijing's disapproval of Washington's sustained interference in the South China Sea, the Post reported.

"The test is aimed at helping Fan increase the People's Liberation Army's bargaining power on the negotiation table when he deals with his US counterpart," Macau-based military observer Antony Wong Dong said.

Guys ... just take a look at this tread ! It's a bunch of ruins since most of the posts were not related to WU-14 ... most were political bashing & trolling.

Even more why does anyone needs to open another tread with the same content ??? we now had already three of them ...

Stay on topic and follow the ruses of conduct.
