LIVE: China Tests New Hypersonic Missile; Feitian-2 Faster than Speed of Sound? | Palki Sharma | N18G

China has tested a new hypersonic missile, the Feitian-2, marking a significant escalation in regional military capabilities. The missile, an upgraded version of the Feitian-1, features a rocket-based combined cycle engine and uses a hybrid fuel of kerosene and hydrogen peroxide. Capable of reaching speeds over Mach 5, it can operate autonomously and alter its flight path mid-air. This development reinforces China’s expanding missile arsenal and highlights a growing arms race with the United States, Russia, and India. Few nations have mastered hypersonic technology, making this a critical shift in the global military balance.
