SCOOP – #China has stunned US intelligence and military officials by testing a #nuclear capable #hypersonic missile that traveled through low orbit in space, making a full circle around the globe before speeding towards its target.

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.
@US_Stratcom @NORADCommand What do you make of this?
China announced 77th launch of Long March rocket in July. Announced 79th Long March launch in August. No mention of launch #78.
Interesting question now is how this will impact the #NuclearPostureReview that the Biden administration is conducting.
If you are a genuine expert on hypersonic weapons/space and are inclined to educate an Irishman (with a Greek name) can reach me on demetri.sevastopulo@protonmail.com or DM me for Signal details. Complete anonymity guaranteed.
