The American defense department considers China’s achievements in this area to be outstanding, which greatly worries the US military leadership.

The Pentagon called the test of China’s hypersonic weapons “an outstanding event”, which is “very worrisome” for the United States. General Mark Milli, head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said this in a TV interview. Bloomberg.

Thus, Milli said that the test of hypersonic weapons is “an outstanding technological event,” noting that it is only one element of China’s military capabilities.

This is the first official assessment of the tests, sounded from the Pentagon, so far they have refrained from comment.

“China’s military capabilities are much larger than this single test. They are rapidly expanding in space, cyberspace, and in traditional zones – on land, at sea and in the air,” the general said, adding that this is very worrisome for the United States.

He added that China is “very important on our horizon.”

Previously, the media reported that China’s hypersonic missile caught the United States by surprise… The rocket has demonstrated “astounding progress in the development of hypersonic weapons.”

The Pentagon later announced three tests as part of hypersonic weapons development.
