China introduced a unique missile system with a hypersonic rocket.

The Chinese authorities presented their newest hypersonic missile, which is superior in performance to the Russian Avangard and Sarmat hypersonic missile systems. We are talking about the DongFeng-17 missile system, which is equipped with a hypersonic missile capable of hitting targets at distances of up to 18 thousand kilometers.

At the moment about the rocket itself is almost unknown. Except for the fact that its combat unit will be represented by one controlled combat unit capable of hitting targets at distances up to 18 thousand kilometers, which exceeds the Russian Avant-garde complex (range up to 12 thousand kilometers) and the PC-28 missile complex " Sarmat "(range to 16 thousand kilometers).

How powerful the warhead of a Chinese hypersonic rocket has and what its speed is, so far remains unknown, but a few months earlier it became known that the People's Republic of China had created a material capable of withstanding the colossal temperatures that occur when moving at a hypersonic speed, and therefore Analysts did not rule out that the speed of the rocket’s flight would be 15-20 MAX.

The key drawback of the Chinese hypersonic missile is the presence of only one combat unit, which greatly simplifies the interception process, compared with the same Avangard complex, capable of carrying several combat maneuvering units.
