Pentagon chief Pete Hegses said last year that China’s 15 polar missiles could pull out 10 US aircraft airlines within minutes. His concerns have resurfaced to the point where the US Congress recently expressed its need not be left behind.
“In the last 15 years, the Pentagon had the perfect record of losing to China in all war game simulations,” Heggs said coldly. Interview It resurfaced on Thursday in November 2024.
In a calm interview, Hegses argued that China is building military capabilities for its sole purpose: defeating the United States. He suggested that Asian countries have enough polar ersonic missiles to wipe out all US aircraft carriers in 20 minutes.
“So, if our entire power projection platform is an aircraft carrier and has the ability to project forces that way around the world…and if 15 Hi-sonic missiles can take out 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of a conflict?” he said.
Hegseth responded to Congress
April 10th, US Congress Report We have confirmed that the United States is actively pursuing the development of high-sonic weapons. “In recent years, it has focused on developing polar glide vehicles and high-sonic cruise missiles.
The report acknowledges that the US is lagging behind the hypersonic defense system, but notes that interest is currently growing from the Pentagon and Congress in pursuit of the development of these types of weapons.
“This is partly due to these technological advances in Russia and China. Both have several postponed weapons programs and are likely employing operational polar glide vehicles that may be armed with nuclear warheads, the Congressional report said.
A shocking revelation
Washington Post article, Heading “Most shocking Interleek reveals new Chinese Military advancement China has confirmed that it has successfully tested the DF-27, which travels 1,300 miles in 12 minutes (7,500 mph) and can avoid a defensive air system.
According to a 2021 Department of Defense report, the US government has already confirmed that the DF-27 ranges up to 5,000 miles (8,000 km). That is to say it can attack targets in East or Southeast Asia, as well as much of the Pacific Ocean, including Guam.
“In addition to the added range, the new missiles will have a ‘Hysonic Glide’ feature. That is, he can pilot it to avoid the missile defenses of the US and Alliance, making him a bigger potential “career killer” than his predecessor.”
The DF-27 says Tim Wright, Tim Wright, the missile defense initiative team at the International Institute of Strategic Studies, uses aerodynamic warheads that allow the DF-27 to avoid defenses or hit moving targets more easily.
It is reliable to ensure their threats
Then in 2023, China launched a new missile orbiting the Earth on the Mach 10, travelling at about 7,700 mph (about 12,400 km/h) and cruised at an altitude of about 60,000 feet. China is also conducting successful testing of the Starry Sky-2 nuclear-responsive missile. According to Go to Georgetown University Journal of International Affairs.
“There was also speculation that China could deploy a high-sonic glide vehicle with nuclear payloads on its latest InterContinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM),” the Journal said. It adds that China’s ability to beat the US defense system is reliable in the case of armed regional conflicts.
Last October, Reuters Quote “In fear of China deploying polar weapons to sink ships in the Pacific, the US Navy is moving forward with a plan to arm parts of its ships with patriot interceptor missiles.”
China has already developed a vast stockpile of anti-ship ballistic missiles, including the more advanced DF-21D “carrier killer,” and is developing the anti-ship warhead for DF-26 medium range ballistic missiles (IRBMs).
Warmer has long been debating the possibility of a US-China conflict, but as Hegses, as chief of the Pentagon and saying he is confident that Asian countries are preparing to beat their own troops, and that EU countries are increasing their defense spending, it may be time to take the possibilities more seriously.
