This is a significant development. The way they cool HGV at Mach 20 is original and first of this kind in the world. A nice slap on those losers who just have to use "copy paste" to smear any China's achievement, then find comfort for their own inability.

Yes, we want to develop the global strike capability in less than half hour.

The article says there's a breakthrough.

Let's count how long will take to carry out first test.

Six months? What's your opinion? @ChineseTiger1986

I wish Chinese government could actually make the day as "Patriotic Day", the day has been well known and highly anticipated among military fans for many years.

Quite useless in practice. A prestige ability. Attacking using this is a signal to established Nuclear countries that it could be nuclear, thus risking MAD.

Using it for banana republics, and the cost of one missile will outweighs anything they have that needs to be destroyed.

I believe this maybe a missile for 20+ years down the line, when cost will come down due to robotics revolution, but otherwise, too expensive to use on guys who don't know how to read.

Using against some high value target like carrier it will be handy and consider cheap.

There is a reason why China has a nuclear no first use policy. It is to legalize all this nuclear deliver platform as conventional.
