US military: China's new hypersonic weapons disrupt nuclear balance the danger posed by China's new hypersonic missile to the United States and the world. According to Hayten, these weapons will allow China to deliver a successful first nuclear strike against the enemy.
The general stressed that over the past decades, none of the main nuclear powers – the United States and Russia – had the opportunity to strike a successful first strike. This fact is the basis for maintaining the balance of nuclear forces. If China violates it, the world will be in danger.

Chinese hypersonic missiles have features that make their flight path impossible to predict. The long flight and maneuvering as close to the ground as possible makes it difficult for the radars to establish a real target for the missile. This makes the nuclear-armed missile unexpected for the enemy.
Hayten believes that these characteristics, together with information that China is building hundreds of silos to launch missiles, means that one day Beijing will have the opportunity to launch an unrequited nuclear strike. .
Earlier in the US, the test of a Chinese hypersonic missile was compared to the launch of Sputnik-1 in the USSR. According to Mark Millie, head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, the new weapon indicates that China is ahead of other nuclear powers.
