Russia is finalizing field tests of hypersonics that are due to be deployed on ships in less than a year, and has actually fired them from ships at targets.
China is more secretive but there is evidence there were at this stage 5+ years ago.
- HappySweeney 5y agoWhy be secretive about this stuff? Isn't its whole raison d'etre to be a deterrent in the face of American anti-missile systems? Or is this something more like a Corbomite Maneuver?
- sudosysgen 5y agoThe Chinese are generally quite secretive about everything unless it's been in full-scale production for a while. They probably think that their manoeuvrable ballistic missiles are already enough of a deterrent, being hypersonic already, and those are actually deployed and ready for combat, so much more of a deterrent.
