The U.S. has a system in place guarding it from intercontinental ballistic missiles. But it’s by no means foolproof. Here’s why.
China conducts ‘WORLD FIRST’ nuclear missile test that could hit target in SECONDS
CHINA has conducted a “world first” ballistic missile test that can come “within metres” of its target, US officials have confirmed.
In November, China’s People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force conducted two flight tests of a new ballistic missile that was attached to a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV).
A HGV is a form of aircraft that is capable of reaching speeds five times faster than the speed of sound, allowing it to deliver nuclear weapons to their target in a matter of seconds.
According to the US official the test was “the first HGV test in the world using a system intended to be fielded operationally”.
