In the CCTV program, the D18-1S aircraft
hypersonic weapon is considered to be the development direction of the future weapon, and China is in a leading position in the hypersonic field, which has always made Americans hesitate, and recently, we told the Americans The bad news.
According to media reports, on November 12, CCTV’s military channel rarely revealed a variety of hypersonic aircraft in the program, including D18-1S and D18-2S, two wide-range aircraft, which caused heated discussions. Why the official suddenly Show off the hypersonic aircraft that was originally a classified project?

It is understood that the hypersonic aircraft exhibited this time is a wide-range aircraft, the aircraft can reach a flying speed of Mach 7, China started related tests as early as 2 years ago, and this is also a Chinese development. The basis of military hypersonic weapons. When
mentioned China's hypersonic weapons, the first thing that people think of is the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile. This missile has been regarded as a "shining star" of China's weapons and equipment since its official debut at the National Day parade last year. In fact, international military experts have basically recognized that since the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile was exhibited last year, China currently ranks first in the world in terms of hypersonic missiles, because the Dongfeng-17 is currently the only officially installed hypersonic missile in the world. . After testing various hypersonic missiles such as zircon, Pioneer, and Dagger, Russia is considered to be ranked second after China. In contrast, the Americans lag behind China and Russia in terms of hypersonic weapons. This can stimulate the Americans.
Dongfeng-17 missile
If you search the United States for information on hypersonic weapons during this period, you will find that the Americans are desperately verifying that they are no weaker than China and Russia in the field of hypersonic weapons. First, Trump said that the U.S. military had developed a hypersonic missile that was 17 times faster than the world’s fastest missile. Later, he felt it was too exaggerated. He changed his words because the U.S. military had developed a missile that was 17 times faster than the speed of sound. The U.S. military has produced a variety of hypersonic missile projects and has tested them.
However, the more so, the more it exposes the fact that the US hypersonic weapons are lagging behind China and Russia. Russian experts pointed out that the US hypersonic missiles are five to ten years behind China and Russia at this stage. After all, China has already installed them and Russia has formed a multi-carrier strike force, and the United States is only in its infancy. But the Americans still refuse to admit defeat because they have another trick called smear.
China’s previous hypersonic vehicle test
Previously, the US military suddenly accused Russia’s hypersonic weapon technology of stealing from the United States. Later, the US media believed that China’s hypersonic weapon had a 1800-km strike range of Dongfeng-17, which had limited deterrence and could not form a system Combat capabilities are "existent shortcomings," and this time the official show of a variety of hypersonic aircraft is precisely in response to the Americans. We are not only one type of hypersonic weapon.
As for why the US military is so worried about China and Russia's hypersonic weapons, the main reason is that such weapons are considered to be almost impossible to intercept by the existing defense system. This poses a severe test of the global defense established by the US military and the US military feels threatened by this. At this time, China’s official display of a variety of hypersonic aircraft is to tell the Americans that we are also launching a variety of hypersonic tests in the future. We are not only one weapon. Who is the boss of the hypersonic field, I believe it has been said. It's metaphorical. (Subtext)
