China’s New Strategic Weapon Has ‘Unlimited Range.’ Here’s What That Means for US.

China has reportedly tested a new strategic weapon: a fractional orbital bombardment system armed with a hypersonic glide vehicle. Mysliwiec: You recently published an article in The Daily Signal about how China tested a new hypersonic weapon over the summer. This new weapon is troubling and it's more than just a hypersonic weapon. Now, what is the potential range and how much damage can this weapon inflict? For many years, we were actually involved in the development of hypersonic weapons until sequestration in 2014, which cut the defense budgets and hypersonic weapon research and development was dropped. They're also developing a new bomber as well, that will probably carry a nuclear weapon. There's tremendous capabilities in Europe to try to find ways to deal with these new and evolving weapon.
