Hypersonic Launch Vehicles?
China’s surveillance balloon made headlines last week after it violated the American airspace. The balloon was ultimately shot down in dramatic style by a US F-22 Raptor jet off the South Carolina coast. In 2018, China’s state-owned CCTV broadcast a test balloon that dropped what appeared to be hypersonic weapons. The video showed a high-altitude balloon carrying three wedge-shaped payloads, which looked like hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs). The video showed the balloon going up to a certain height and then dropping them as part of a weapons test. Watch this video to understand what China is planning to do with its surveillance balloons.
