A couple of days ago Xinhua News posted a video about Russia successfully test-fires Tsirkon hypersonic missile (2020.10.06).
"Russia successfully test-fired a Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missile in the Arctic on Tuesday. The missile reached a hypersonic speed of over Mach 8. The missile covered a distance of 450 km with the max altitude of its trajectory at 28 km. The flight lasted 4.5 minutes at over Mach 8. The Tsirkon system will be deployed on Russian submarines and surface ships."
I wonder how is China's own hypersonic missile(s) positioning with regard to this Russian high-profile one?
Then where is the USA's position in this basically three-party hypersonic race (besides some other lesser participants)?
