China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted a live-fire exercise near Pingtan Island, about 120 kilometers from the Taiwanese coast.

The exercise included the launch of a DF-17 hypersonic system from a land-based platform, as seen in a promotional video released ahead of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the PLA, on August 1, 2022.

"There is no defense against hypersonic,” Milley said. “You're not going to defend against it. Those things are going so fast you're not going to get it.”

Some say Milley is wrong.

China has not yet fully revealed the features of the hypersonic weapon 'aircraft carrier killer'.

More worried about the J20 and SU-57 now that they are in full cahoots with Russia.

It's absurd we've JUST started testing of this technology.

You really believe that the Air Force paid $2,000 for a hammer back in the 1980s, don’t you?



Our military has developed systems that we cannot imagine. I suspect that hypersonic missiles would be the least of them.

Actually I do. Our government, especially military procurement is indescribably corrept. I 100% believe in the $2000 hammer and $500 toilet seat stories.

You know I remember those stories and you jogged my memory a little. I think alot of that shite was specialized items.

So yeah, maybe there was a 2,000 dollar hammer but it was some sort of specialized type of hammer needed to work on certain things. Same with the toilet seats. I think that part got alot of press because they needed a certain type of seat for some aircraft or maybe the space shuttle or whatever.

frick I dunno.

Don't believe a f'ing word Milley says. He's nothing more than a politician masquerading as a 4 Star.

Our military has been developing hypersonic gay technology for years. It's been thoroughly tested on our own soldiers and we could have the whole Chinese army sucking dick by next week if we wanted

All we need to know is if the person who pushed the button is a tranny or otherwise part of the rainbow coalition.

As much as I don’t want to, I tend to agree with Aggiehank.
