you altered the headline (without actually having read the whole article, which is only available if you pay money to bloomberg)
secondly I do not understand why you 3 *ajeet brothers namely you, aziqbal and denel are needed to brag on the behalf of the US. when US itself is playing down its capabilities.

the American contention re Chinese:
“What we saw was a very significant event of a test of a hypersonic weapon system. And it is very concerning,” said Gen Milley last month, adding: “I don’t know if it’s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think it’s very close to that. It has all of our attention.”
Other Biden administration officials have contended, despite Mr Putin’s remarks, that the US is behind China in terms of development of hypersonic weaponry.

back to Putin speech:
“Why should we be concerned about the increased military potential of our nearest neighbor with whom we have an unprecedentedly high level of bilateral ties?” said Mr Putin, according to Bloomberg. He reportedly added: “We saw the reaction of our US partners to this but we know that the US is slightly ahead in hypersonic weapons development.”
His comments echoed those of Russia’s foreign ministry in mid-October, just days after it was first reported by the
Financial Times that China had conducted a test of weapons that had circumnavigated the Earth before striking relatively near a target in the South China Sea.
................................................................................................
In the two tests, weapons developers tested what was referred to as a “fractional orbital bombardment” system that launched a nuclear-capable “hypersonic glide vehicle” around the Earth, before attempting to strike a target.
A hypersonic arms race intensified across the Pacific this year as Russia, China, the US and North Korea all announced or initiated various tests of hypersonic weapons through the summer. Development of the weapons comes as relations between the US and China remain troubled over the issue of Taiwan, which the Trump administration and now Biden administration have openly supported in defiance of Beijing’s territorial claim.
In October, Moscow’s diplomatic corps
indicated no concern about China’s weapons development, which Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said was “within the framework of its international obligations”.
China’s government denied that the test involved a weapon, instead characterizing it as a “space vehicle”, at a news conference that month.
“It was not a missile, it was a space vehicle,” said a foreign ministry spokesperson. Days later, the agency expanded on that explanation, calling it “a regular test of the technology of spacecraft re-usability, which carries significance to lower the cost of the use of spacecraft, and is expected to offer mankind a new way of affordable and convenient space travel.”
