China has conducted a test of its new hypersonic weapon. The test is the seventh successful test of the so-called DF-ZF, the Washington Free Beacon reports.[CN]

中国进行了新高超音速导弹的测试。中国第7次成功测试的高超音速飞行器代号为DF-ZF,华盛顿自由灯塔报报道。

The test was carried out from the Wuzhai missile test center in central China. Past DF-ZF weapons-previously called WU-14 by the Pentagon-were aimed at inner Mongolia. The test was the second major missile test in two weeks. On April 12th, a DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missile was launched into the South China Sea.[CN]

实验在中国中部的五寨导弹发射基地进行。过去的DF-ZF飞行器(此前被五角大楼称为WU-14)是针对内蒙古而进行的。本次测试是两周内的第二次主要的导弹测试。4月12号,一颗代号为DF-41的洲际弹道导弹发射到了中国南海。

The DF-ZF is what is known as a Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGF). The DF-ZF is thought to be launched by a DF-21 intermediate range ballistic missile. Unlike a typical ballistic missile warhead however, a hypersonic glide vehicle stops short of entering space and glides through the atmosphere at speeds of between 4,000 and 7,000 miles an hour.[CN]

DF-ZF通称超高音速滑翔飞行器(HGF)。普遍认为,DF-ZF会通过DF-21中程洲际导弹发射。与常规弹道导弹弹头不同的是,超高音速滑翔飞行器进入空间不够大的时候会停下,以每小时4,000~7,000英里的速度穿过云层。

A weapon traveling at such blistering speeds could hit any place on Earth in less than an hour. The unique flight profile of HGVs-not quite a ballistic missile and not quite a regular air-launched missile-combined with its extremely high speed, makes them difficult to intercept.[CN]

如此极速的武器具有1小时全球快速打击目标的能力。它因其飞快速度还拥有独特的飞行轨迹,与弹道导弹和常规空中机动复合导弹飞行轨迹完全不同,从而规避反导弹拦截。

The Washington Free Beacon emphasizes Chinese HGVs as a first strike weapon. While theoretically possible, China's strategic nuclear arsenal consists of between 200 to 300 weapons-nowhere near enough to destroy America's nuclear arsenal first even if HGVs were used to "kick in the door" and destroy America's ground-based missile interceptors based in Alaska.

An operational Chinese hypersonic weapon will likely be a conventional-not nuclear-one. A HGV weapon could, for example, target Taiwanese air bases and air defenses, destroying them in minutes and helping China gain air superiority over the breakaway island. Such a weapon could even be used to target individual ships at sea, much like the DF-21D and DF-26 "carrier killer" ballistic missiles.

China is not alone in developing hypersonic weapons. The U.S. Air Force anticipates it will have hypersonic weapons operational by the 2020s, likely based on experimental vehicles such as the Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 and the X-51 WaveRider. There are reports China is particularly concerned about U.S. development of hypersonics as they could be used to target China's modest nuclear arsenal without the need for the U.S. to "go nuclear."

Russia is also developing hypersonic weapons, having conducted a test just two weeks ago. The Russian weapon used an SS-19 intercontinental ballistic missile as a booster and the test was reportedly successful. Meanwhile, the Russian Navy anticipates putting the Zircon anti-ship missile into production in 2018, which will be capable of speeds of up to 3,800 to 4,600 miles an hour.

Okay, so now the US poverty rate is higher than China's (US: 15% to China: 13%). China has a lower unemployment rate than the USA. China's people are beating the USA in literacy, math, science, and engineering. China's GDP is way higher than the USA. They are posed to become the largest economy in the world by 2018 now. They are spending more money on foreign aid to gain influence over other countries now (not more than the USA though). Now they are building their military and are even setting up more bases around the world in a style like the United States, but have a long way to go before they catch up to the USA in that regard. What we spend in military is just crazy stupid and completely excessive and unnecessary.[CN]

好吧,现今美国贫困率高于中国(美国15%对中国的13%)。中国失业率也比美国低。中国人在文学,数学,科技,工程学方面超过美国。中国国内生产总值超过美国。2018中国将成为世界最大的经济体。他们也在花更多的钱在国外援助上来获取对其他国家的影响力(还没有美国多)。如今他们加强军队建设,跟美国一样在全世界建立更多的基地。这方面要赶上美国还有很长的路要走。我们花在军队上的钱很疯狂很愚蠢,投入完全超标了,没有必要。

Here's the thing, although China is the next super power and is beating out the USA in so many ways by far, the thing that they will never have due to their government/economic system is a true trade-able currency and banks where the world's money is passing through. The US Dollar is used in 80% of world transactions and everything comes in and out of our banks.[CN]

说到这,虽然中国史下一个超级大国,目前很多方面已经赶超美国。因政府/经济制度原因,中国不可能拥有全世界流通的可兑换货币和银行。美元占据了世界交易量的80%,很多东西都在我们的银行流进流出。

Ways China could over take the USA as a world super power. 1. The world would have to adopt a universally trade-able currency that isn't a US dollar. 2. China would have to really invest like crazy into its military and build about 10-15 more aircraft carriers. 3. They would have to make large banks mostly public.[CN]

中国可取代美国成为超级大国的要求:1. 世界广泛使用的兑换货币不是美元。2. 中国需要疯狂投资军队建设,建造10-15多架航空母舰。3. 他们需要建一个公众大银行。

The hardest one to do would be #1 on my list.[CN]

这单子上,最难的数第一点。

China's population will eventually work out that the CCP is keeping them as slaves and paying a slave wage. When that happens things are going to fall apart fast, suppressing that revolt will not work like the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 did. The CCP will try to suppress it by totally shutting down the internet but that will only delay it. Military commanders will overreact in some areas and there will be some massacres, other commanders will have the troops sit things out. Either way things will get ugly.[CN]

中国人们最终会发现**把他们当奴隶一样,给的是奴隶的工资。那天到来时,政权将会迅速土崩瓦解。**会通过关掉网络的形式来镇压起义,这不过是延迟了瓦解的时间罢了。一些地区的军队长官会反应过激,开始大屠杀,其他长官手握重兵,坐山观虎斗。无论怎样局面都会很难堪。

The thing is it is impossible to hide a nuclear weapon due to its gamma ray output so a non nuclear first strike to take them out is indeed possible- along with an EMP weapon to disable any and all communication and transportation[CN]

问题是,因有伽马射线的输出,核武器无法隐藏。所以用非核武器的飞机携带核武器还是有可能,再载上电磁脉冲武器,可以断绝所有交通和联系。

That's nice, and then what? If we start a war with China, then we should be ready to use nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are not the only threat. Even if China can't easily hit us at home, they could easily spread through out Asia and Africa. Maybe Russia takes that opportunity to take Europe, and Iran could try to take over the middle east(eventually giving way for China to take over).[CN]

说的不错,然后呢?如果跟中国开战,就该准备好使用核武器。核武器并非唯一的威胁。即便中国不能在家轻易攻击我们,他们也可以通过亚非扩散啊。俄国也许会趁这个机会吞并欧洲。伊朗可能会征服中东(最终还是让中国吞并)

NK already has two satellites up of which the last is "rumored" to have nuclear capability.[CN]

北韩有两颗卫星传言也带有核能力。

Personally, I could give a rats #$%$ but at some point the Korean intellectual midget will make a mistake and we can only hope it is on his home soil. If not, we plan a few dozen cruise missiles where we think he might be located and send him a large block or two of Swiss cheese to hasten his death.[CN]

就个人而言,那是瞎扯淡。某种程度上他们聪明的矮胖子(指金正恩)犯了小错,我们只能希冀这事发生在他们本土。不然,我们就计划派出几艘巡航舰到他所在地给他树一大块障碍或者给他两块巧克力加速他死亡。

"RETIRED NAVY CAPT. Jim Fanell, a former Pacific Fleet intelligence director, said the latest flight test of the DF-ZF represents another demonstration of China’s commitment to aggressively develop asymmetric power projection capabilities and a weapon that could undermine U.S. missile defenses.[CN]

已退休海军船长,前太平洋舰队情报处长,Jim Fanell说,DF-ZF的最近试飞展示了中国致力于发展不对称武器项目,研发一种美国导弹防御系统无法拦截的武器。

“The threat of hypersonic missile attack not only impacts conventional warfare scenarios like we are seeing develop in the South and East China Sea, but it also puts U.S. nuclear defense strategies at risk as well,” Fanell said.[CN]

超高音速导弹攻击不但影响常规战争的作战方式,如我们在中国东海南海所见的升级,同时还对美国的核武器防御策略构成威胁,“Fanell说。

By contrast, the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency is doing little to deal with the emerging hypersonic missile threat."[CN]

相比之下,五角大楼的导弹防御局对这种超高音速导弹威胁所做的应对就少的可怜了。

Get it? Hilarious![CN]

DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is exactly that, a research project. It will take another 30 - 35 years to bring a research project into a developmental weapon system, and another 10 years into the production line.

For hypersonic glide vehicle, China is at least 15 - 20 years ahead of us.

Not sure why you included a picture of the X-51 as it's nothing like the HGV. They don't even operate on similar technologies.

ComeReply toAnthony

The X stands for "experimental". It's nothing but a research project. The reason for using the X-51, X-47, X-43,... is to show the world that "Hey!!! America has hypersonic glide vehicle, too". It must be taken up by a B-52 to about 45,000 feet, released, then start the rocket engine which burns for 10 seconds and goes up to mach 5. It's going to be many years before America comes up to where China is today. Americans are brainwashed braggarts and fools. They can not stand having China beat them technically in advanced weapons.

Jews are forcing jewSA to bully many countries and force US taxpayers to foot the bill. Neither Russia, nor China wanted this confrontational situation but our Jewish rulers want Full Spectrum Domination, in order to install their criminal NWO. They are using and ruining us in the process and may cause nuclear WW3, since Russia and China won't go along with those criminal plans. Since we can't beat the whole world, we couldn't even beat 7th Century barbarians. At the end we will perish, due to our "Best Friend"!!

i think most americans are just naive.

While they enjoy their abundant lifestyle and their "freedom" there are lots and lots of people out there who think differently, who think they now better, who think america is preventing them from taking what they think they deserved, they owned, they think as their subjects, a world they think should be molded according to their ideologies and perspective.

Russia and China are two of these countries and they will do everything in their current capacities just so when the right time arrive they can put an end to the American-centric world status quo permanently

By then be prepared to forsake your abundance and "freedom".

As everyone knows in the history of military operations and development of weapons systems, once a country is found to be developing a new weapon other countries in competition with them start developing a counter weapon or a similar weapon. With the global economy , China's existence as an economic power depends on the US and others so they are not very likely to use it against us.

I imagine these HGV will split open in mid air over the target region. Spilling out will be a couple hundred air bourne drones that will have a shoe box strung underneath. In each shoe box will reside the hot fresh and authentic Chinese food order for one residence. Thus the Chinese will corner the market, much how Papa John's will corner the pizza home delivery market in China with the X51 waverider. I'm at a loss for the Russian activity, anyone?

"On April 12th, a DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missile was launched into the South China Sea". Another misleading report purposely created by the USA to increase the tension in the South China Sea.
