[quote:Anonymous Coward 75465913:MV8zNjkzOTY2XzY2MDM2ODYwXzQ1QzlBMDA4] ICBMs can already do that. And from a submarine, which China has, there would be only 2-3 minutes warning. This whole hypersonic shit is fearmongering. [/quote]

The jets will be capable of hypersonic flight speeds of up to 27,000mph
They will be tested in China's newest wind tunnel, set for completion by 2020
Hypersonic aircraft could be used to deliver missiles, including nuclear weapons
They will be capable of hitting targets around the world within minutes of launch
