China Tests Feitian-2 Hypersonic Missile, Escalating Arms Race | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G China has tested a new hypersonic missile, the Feitian-2, marking a significant escalation in regional military capabilities. The missile, an upgraded version of the Feitian-1, features a rocket-based combined cycle engine and uses a hybrid fuel of kerosene and hydrogen peroxide. Capable of reaching speeds over Mach 5, it can operate autonomously and alter its flight path mid-air. This development reinforces China’s expanding missile arsenal and highlights a growing arms race with the United States, Russia, and India. Few nations have mastered hypersonic technology, making this a critical shift in the global military balance. --- China | PLA | Hypersonic Missile | Feitian-2 | Mach 5 | Hybrid Fuel | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #china #hypersonic_missile #feitian #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
