Here's everything you need to know about the competition to build hypersonic weapons of incredible speed and maneuverability, leading world powers into a lethal arms race that could redefine the concept of war as we know it
Since the early 1980s, Chinese defence planners haveat building up capabilities in what would only recently come to be known as Anti-Access Area Denial . With 22,117km of borders and shared frontiers with 14 countries, Beijing has always been concerned over the sheer difficulty of stopping invasions.
With that a new Great Wall was born, spanning Chinese coasts made up of dispersed sensors, overlapping radars, and combinations of its strategic rocket forces, defence installations and anti-aircraft guns. The final risk was aircraft carriers bringing the fight to Chinese shores and launching endless sorties of stealth fighter jets to destroy its overlapping A2/AD bubbles.
Where do hypersonic weapons come in? As force multipliers. As world powers extend hypersonic missiles to previous conventional missiles, the scales of power shift further in their favour. The possibility of destroying a US carrier group becomes far more likely.For traditional superpowers like the US, this puts them in an untenable position.
