Could China make a sea-skimming hypersonic missile a real nightmare for the US?
China's Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has launched a research program to develop low-altitude hypersonic flight technology, potentially enabling sea-skimming missiles that could challenge US Navy defenses. The program aims to create a hypersonic missile traveling over five times the speed of sound while evading radar detection.
