Missile missed target by couple of dozen miles, but people familiar with the test say China demonstrated a stunning capability that nobody thought they already had mastered.

This is interesting but TBH if you’re “stunned” that China has a nuclear-capable hypersonic glide vehicle you haven’t been paying attention

Well, who are they planning to attack with this missile? Aliens? I thought thr DF17 or DF21 was capable of reaching anywhere.

Are you following the global naval presence in the Pacific /Asian basin? This military mom believes we are well aware of what China, Korea and Russia are capable of and are ready to respond, if called.

This seems just an automated/remote-controlled version of the Silbervögel.
The concept was explored by the US in the 60s (SCRAM-A and Pluto-SLAM program), and is still being explored today.
The Russian Zirkon missile is a take on the same idea.
