China Military Bugle, an official social media account under the People’s Liberation Army News Media Center, on December 28 showing the successful launch of a YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile.
The state-of-the-art missile was fired from the Type 055 destroyer Wuxi of the People’s Liberation Army Navy during a “finalization test,” according to the outlet.
A finalization test is a term commonly used by Chinese state media to describe the final major trial or evaluation of a weapon system before concluding the design phase and approving it for full-scale production and operational deployment.
The missile struck and destroyed its target during the test, according to China Military Bugle, which noted that this is “the first time an official media report has shown a live YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship missile being fired from a warship.”
A hypersonic missile believed to be the YJ-20 was first tested by the People’s Navy ahead of its 73rd anniversary in 2022. At the time it was also launched from a Type 055 destroyer. The missile was finally unveiled earlier this year, specifically during China’s V-Day military parade in Beijing on September 3.
The YJ-20 features a biconic aerodynamic configuration. This design allows for maneuverable re-entry after its initial ballistic launch.
Hypersonic missiles travel and maneuver at least five times faster than the speed of sound specifically at low altitudes in the atmosphere, which make them very much impossible to intercept.
Not much is known about the other specifications of the YJ-20, but is generally believed to have a range of 1,000-1,500 kilometers which makes it one of the longest range anti-ship missiles ever made.
When the YJ-20 will enter service, China will become the second country in the world to operate hypersonic anti-ship missiles after Russia, which has already fielded the 3M22 Zircon, a cruise missile capable of reaching nine times the speed of sound with a range of 1,000 kilometers.
The Chinese successful test shows how the West, including the United States, are still lagging behind when it comes to hypersonic weapons in general.

who cares? they will never use it for anything but to further the zionist agenda.
just like every other zionist controlled state.
yes, china is pro israel too.
no they’re not.
active combat is reported on several fronts. south of vilcha, russian units are advancing; west of liman, they captured five strong points…………………… https://ln.run/iemhw
the settlement has been already captured in full by russian troops, according to preliminary reports. the russian ministry of defense is yet to confirm this, however…………………. https://psee.io/8ela5d
yes, they are. and both russia and china are pro “un”, despite a regrettable mass murder in the hospitals around the world. they cant tell that their dark master are mad as a rabies infected dog, because its their master.
you are right there yes they are all, except trump, pro the un.
that thief are only pro his own pockets.
their dark lord. one ring to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them. one zero, one “un”. the world government are old, and its worthless 😂 parasites, which propagate genocide, and murder by poison in the hospitals. i wonder very much, why russians are not allowed to think newtons laws are valid in north america ? its in the ten commandments ? are there any russian here ? 😂
evolution, the trick movie for to attack seven countries, and the fake pandemic with mass murder in the hospitals, says more about the mad apes, than faked moon landings. they have become what they are, a band of murderers, non-humans. centralized death cult. of course, russia have get exposed to something totally different, than korea and vietnam 😂 pretend that, satan worshipers. the lizzard in washington meander away.
assassination attempt on jesus putin ! he will kill some million more serfs, for to avoid harm the root causes 😂 they have so hard to finish of pontius pilatus, and his jews 😂 hmmm, are war only for to continue the pyramidal structure of the bandit state ? it should explain the stubborn refusal to harm root causes 😂
uss trump is obsolete now 😂
zion donnie’s pipe dream. just noise for wall st.
golden ships sink like all the others
ramses again hehe hehe 😂😂👍😂😂
what goes up must come down. pride goeth before a fall .
its not absolutely sure, not in north america. its interesting to point out the absurditet, that most of humanity evolve backwards, throw out newtons laws with the bath water 😂
hehe hehe ramses again
btw your votes on the page are fugded again. as usual.
should ‘fugded’ read ‘fudged’ as in ‘fudge packer’ ?
haha hehe he he he ramses strikes again.
so four countries now have hypersonic missile technology. russia, china, iran and north korea. notice that none of these countries are in the west or western oriented. the west has lost the arms race by a knockout.
huuh ? its only to “nuke” them 😂 if “nukes” exist, that is. but dont worry, the mad apes will control evil by some other means. for example by brag about hypersonic missiles. use the shit, and wipe out the entitys performing genocide. but thats not their intention, but to create a clone of evil.
i suppose its to much for russians, to be fouled by “nukes”, “moon landings”, 9/11, “viruses”, so they decided it was best to kill slavs instead. it is not logical to brag about root causes, and do nothing against them. “a civilization ending nuclear cataclysm” on the contrary, the beliefs in “nukes” kills humanity by poison. “a civilization saving nuclear cataclysm” hoax 😂 only rain missiles on “us”, its perfectly safe. and not forget atlantic cables.
oceania, eurasia, east asia. 1984 written by a insane “jew”, einstein. the root causes are the jews 😂 thats why russia kills slavs, they are capitalistic this week. adolf trump did red front, not hitler salut, then it must be true 😂
hahaha you don’t have a clue, like some anachronistic constipated cloned trollope
everyone, except you obviously, who is informed knows trumps forming the c-5 which is usa india russia china and japan as one united economic bloc.
i’m starting to think you’re a tard.
wakey wakey hand off snakey ghosty posty.
c-5 . hello????
g seven c five, none of them have hypersonic missiles. fact!
i would like to see them put their super duper hyper sonic missile on a type 69 destroyer🤣
ramses tom sawyers whatever
nice work by the chinese, proving the are far ahead of the us military industrial complex. venezuela will host these ? or is the us fleet all ready doomed ?
can’t you join dots? even you should be able to see that they are all being played from the same source. and by law. only america is in their way.
are you chinese now? what are you?
no other country on earth has a total military presence like anericas because “america is our barracks” winston churchill.. and they have the special operations branch office within the pentagon.
you know winston churchill are dead ? they have a funny scene in “allo, allo emliga arme’n”, when the actor fall asleep, exactly as adolf trump. the pentagon are attacked by them self. it depends on in which room the economical investigation are. if you ask the retarded ai, you get a story, not even worth to read. i had all those videos and photos, intervju with female military.
je potrebné ju dodať do venezuely na ostré testy. iba priamo v boji sa odhalia jej slabiny a ukáže sa silná stránka. mysleniu zdar. svetu mier.
“bonbon”, on sonar21, have really sharpen himself; “if a society can be kept under the control of their belief in what their senses tell them, then the invisible structures governing their behavior will remain mystical and unknowable.” “senses” here are mostly trick movies, and virtual reality on youtube 😂
