US send terrifying threat to China by testing new 'advanced' missile amid Taiwan tensions
Jacob Paul - Yesterday 19:20
The Pentagon has reportedly been testing the hypersonic missiles, although the weapon's programs suffered a setback on Thursday when a booster carrying one of the rockets failed. The hypersonic glide vehicles the US could strike China with will get launched from a rocket in the upper atmosphere before gliding to a target at speeds of more than five times the speed of sound, or about 3,853 miles (6,200 kilometres) per hour.
In tests on Wednesday, the US Navy and Army tested hypersonic weapon component prototypes which successfully "demonstrated advanced hypersonic technologies, capabilities, and prototype systems in a realistic operating environment", the Pentagon said in a statement.
But the threat has come as Mr Biden stressed America's military might as he pledged America would step in if China attacked the self-governed Island of Taiwan.
President Biden said at a town hall event organised by CNN: "China, Russia and the rest of the world knows we're the most powerful military in the history of the world."
He reassured Taiwan that they don't have to "worry about whether they're going to be more powerful."
Mr Biden's comments come after soaring tensions in the region erupted on the Taiwan Strait, with the Chinese military flying huge numbers of planes close to Taiwanese air space and building air bases nearby.
The international community fears this signals a planned attack on the Island - as China seeks to exert its dominance in the South China Sea.
In a show of support, Washington has made security pact with Taiwan to provide it with military hardware and technology.
But it has previously chosen not to confirm whether it would send troops to defend the island, which has a policy of "strategic ambiguity".
