Recently, China has tested a missile that has hypersonic capabilities. This missile was tested sometime in August and caught the U.S. intelligence by surprise. The U.S. realized that China is farther ahead, and even Russia, in their nuclear programs. I think this should be a wake up call for our government and our current administration to address these things and start getting back on top in the world. Major thing is WE NEED CHANGE and soon China and Russia get even more ahead than they already are.
Some interesting info about this new hypersonic weapon. Firstly when it was tested it traveled around the globe one time before going for its target. I am not terribly concerned with it yet because it did miss its target by 24 miles. The fact that it travels at low orbit in space and goes around the globe is a big thing. It can hit anyone anytime and anywhere. So far the U.S. and the Biden Admin. Hasn’t done anything to deal. with it or even address it. This new type of warhead would help China negate our U.S. anti nuclear missile defense. This means it could make our defenses ineffective in defending this.
So far the missile has been tested once that we know of. It was launched from a rocket carried by a hypersonic glide. Which allowed it to travel at low orbit space as I said above. The U.S. is currently attempting to make these hypersonic weapons along with Russia. This is an awakening that China is ahead of the game and we need to step it up and say that we are the major super power in the world. We have previously underestimated China's nuclear ability. Those other countries are laughing at us as long as Biden is in office. We need to do something.
- What do you think about this new weapon?
- How do you think that this will affect warfare in the future?
- Will this affect the U.S. more as long as the administration we have won’t do anything?

Good topic choice and well written summary! Be sure to always check back and keep replying through Thursday night.
i think that we shouldn't really worry about it. i think it might give them an upperhand. no not really.
I do belive that this weapon could cause many problems in the future. This could change warfare drastically. It will make the enemy able to attack our homeland while we're at war overseas. I believe that this could affect the United States but I also think that our intelligence agency will get it taken care of.
I believe we need to do something about this new weapon as soon as possible. Before they used it against us and we were defenseless. With these new weapons, they are a threat to us. It's also something they can use as leverage if they need to and that can certainly hurt us in the future.
I think that it is somewhat surprising that no one in the US was expecting this because they have been ahead of us in the past. I think that the fact that the missile can travel all the way around the world is strange and scary. Even though the mistle missed its goal, I think that it's still very close and still ahead of where we are now.
I think it is dangerous! And i also think the US should kep an eye on them because all the time people decided to do such a weapon should make other people think about it. I am not sure if the right way is doing a bigger weapon... Because that also could go wrong. And just people get provocated.
I don't think they are gonna use this weapon in any case as long as there is an official declared war. Nowadays every country in the world tries to create weapons of mass destruction. China and Russia is one of the leading countries with their strong economy, but i don't think they will declare war to other countries by using it.
I Believe that we need to do something about this new weapon Asap. Before they use it against us and we can't defend ourselves. With this new weapon they are a threat to us. This is also something they can use as leverage if they need to and can definitely harm us in the future.
I agree with you completely it is a deal that we need to adress and fix before it's too late. Right now it seems to be able to bipass just about if not all of our current defenses. This is a huge advantage if we can get ahead of the game again and of course our enemies focus more on their weapons than what our current administration is focusing on.
