Chinese army researchers stated that they can launch missiles from space using different types of platforms, as published by the media . These even revealed that China’s reentry planning missiles can travel to 21,000 kilometers per hour to great altitude in the atmosphere, according to a report.
“Researchers of the rocket force of the popular liberation army believe that with such capabilities and a speed of Mach 20, Chinese hypersonic missiles could reach global objectives in 30 minutes,” the specialized medium has revealed.
Some variants that can be launched from space could have the ability to drastically reduce the response time and the operational scope of the early warning system of the adversary, thus increasing the probability of successful penetration, as it shows a publication last month in the Chinese academic magazine Acta aeronautical and astronautica synam.
However, as he has pointed out Interesting Engineeringthese Chinese weapons still present some critical weaknesses. The EPL rocket force study – directed by Professor Guo Yang – emphasizes that there could be some problems in the strong infrared firms of the system and consider that this can facilitate long -distance system detection.
“Limited maneuverability due to the relatively low overload resistance and restricted communication bandwidth during the terminal phases could also weaken the power of the system during operations,” they added.
