Good news!

He is butt hurt indian. But at least India can brag they sent a probe to Mars with NASA's help.
Don't know what an useless Indian doing in here!
Best thing to do would be to put these HGV warheads (conventional or nuclear payload) on Submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
If they don't know the point of launch, it becomes almost impossible to counter it, not to mention the significant maneuvering of this platform during flight. And the speed which gives the adversary almost no time at all.
We should be able to attack any major warship if it poses a threat to our interests, even if it is halfway across the globe.
Yes.
What China is testing is not a scramjet, but rather a hypersonic glide vehicle.
There's a difference between a scramjet, and a glide vehicle.
100% correct, hypersonic glide vehicles are essentially ballistic missile warheads that offer increased maneuverability. HGV's are going to be very expensive and not operationally relevant over a sustained conflict. The Wu-14 is an HGV as well as US projects such as the HTV Falcon and Advanced Hypersonic Weapon. The AHW was successfully tested in 2011, but in 2014 failed due to an anomaly in the booster section. There were no problems found in the glide vehicle itself.
The other type of hypersonic weapons are endo-atmospheric air breathing scramjets. These will eventually lead to hypersonic cruise missiles. They will be less expensive than HGV's and more operationally relevant in conflicts. The US successfully tested the X-51 Waverider scramjet in 2013.
The US has at least 4-5 hypersonic projects in both HGV's and scramjets under development, and are close to deploying them.
The US is already developing systems to counter HGV's such as THAAD-ER.
Inside the Ring: Pentagon to counter hypersonic missiles - Washington Times
Fairly speaking,as the biggest and the most evil power,USA INDEED was the first one to mention one hour globe attack system,that idea forced China and Russia to follow its pace,USA thought its technology the NO.1 and can easily leave us far behind,at that time,all the countries including us and Russia have to obey its orders. But today,the HGV of USA tests fail almost everytime ,I am confident we will deploy such kind of weapon first. Our DF21D missles can attack aircarriers around us now,the hypersonic gilde weapon with our Beidou globle position system can attack the Aircarriers all around the world in the future,we will defend the world peace for the mankind.China too has multiple hypersonic projects under development and also developing counter weapons like HQ-29.
China is also developing directed energy weapons and railguns. You pretend as if the US is the only country developing these weapons. Nothing special in the US.
The video has stirred many people. In my analysis, I conclude it's a hypersonic air-to-air missile.
Different platforms.
What China is testing is a glide vehicle, which will have to be carried upto the edge of atmosphere by a ballistic missile.
What US is testing is a scramjet, an air breathing missile which is much more flexible in its potential use.
We also testing both.U.S. Is testing both.
