berjaya melaksanakan ujian penerbangan kelajuan tinggi muslihat kepala peledak ‘state-of-the-art’
minggu lalu, sumber-sumber dalam Pentagon berkata. percubaan itu berlaku hanya
beberapa hari selepas glider hipersonik dilaporkan diuji oleh Rusia.
DF-ZF
kenderaan meluncur hipersonik adalah pelancaran pada hari Jumaat oleh peluru
berpandu balistik yang dilancarkan dari tapak Wuzhai di tengah China,
pegawai-pegawai tentera yang tidak dinamakan Amerika Syarikat kepada laman web ‘Washington
Free Beacon website’.
Muslihat
glider telah dikesan oleh satelit Amerika kerana ia bergerak pada kelajuan
beberapa ribu kilometer sejam sepanjang pinggir suasana ke arah kawasan kesan
di barat negara ini, kata sumber.
Ia
adalah percubaan udara kenderaan meluncur Cina yang
ke-7, dengan 6 ujian sebelumnya yang dijalankan pada tahun 2014 dan 2015 juga
telah berjaya.
China
successfully tests nuclear-capable hypersonic missile - Pentagon sources
China
successfully carried out a flight test of its state-of-the-art high-speed
maneuvering warhead last week, sources in the Pentagon said. The trial took
place just days after a hypersonic glider was reportedly tested by Russia.
The
DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle was launch on Friday by a ballistic missile
fired from the Wuzhai site in central China, unnamed US military officials told
the Washington Free Beacon website.
The
maneuvering glider was tracked by American satellites as it was traveling at
the speed of several thousand kilometers per hour along the edge of the
atmosphere towards an impact area in the west of the country, the sources said.

Menurut
‘Washington Free Beacon’, kebimbangan perisikan Amerika Syarikat bahawa Beijing
boleh menggunakan DF-ZF (dahulunya diberi nama kod WU-14 oleh Pentagon), mampu
mencapai kelajuan lebih 11,000 kilometer sejam, untuk menghantar senjata
nuklear memintas peluru berpandu sistem pertahanan yang paling kompleks.
Buaian
juga boleh menjadi sebahagian daripada senjata serangan strategik konvensional
yang membolehkan China untuk memukul sasaran mana-mana sahaja di DUNIA dalam
masa hanya 1 jam.
Kenderaan
Glide terangkat ke atmosfera atas tinggi oleh peluru berpandu balistik dan
kemudian meluncur pada kelajuan 5 kali lebih cepat daripada kelajuan bunyi.
Jurucakap
Pentagon, Komander. Rang Undang-Undang Bandar, enggan mengulas mengenai ujian segar
peledak muslihat China, tetapi menegaskan bahawa tentera Amerika Syarikat
"yang berhati-hati memantau pemodenan tentera China."
Pengerusi
Dewan Angkatan Bersenjata Jawatankuasa Kecil Seapower, Randy Forbes,
memberitahu 'Washington Free Beacon' bahawa dia bimbang dengan ujian Cina.
According
to the Washington Free Beacon, US intelligence fears that Beijing may use DF-ZF
(formerly codenamed WU-14 by the Pentagon), capable of reaching speeds of over
11,000 kilometers per hour, to deliver nuclear weapons bypassing even the most
complex of missile defense systems.
The
glider could also become a part of a conventional strategic strike weapon that
would enable China to hit targets anywhere in the world within just an hour.
Glide
vehicles are lifted to the high upper atmosphere by ballistic missiles and then
glide at speeds five times faster than the speed of sound.
Pentagon
spokesman, Cmdr. Bill Urban, declined to comment on the fresh Chinese
maneuvering warhead test, but stressed that the US military “do monitor Chinese
military modernization carefully.”
Chairman
of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower, Randy Forbes, told the
Washington Free Beacon that he’s worried by the Chinese tests.

"Ujian berulang China kenderaan meluncur
hipersonik menunjukkan Beijing komited untuk rampasan ketenteraan konvensional
dan keseimbangan nuklear, dengan implikasi kubur untuk kestabilan Asia,"
kata Forbes.
Pada 22 April, Russian Strategik Missile Angkatan
dijalankan pelancaran yang antara benua peluru berpandu balistik (ICBM),
menguji peluru berpandu pelayaran hipersonik.
Satu sumber Interfax berkata pelancaran itu dari
tempat pelancaran peluru berpandu di Wilayah Orenburg di sempadan dengan
Kazakhstan adalah satu kejayaan.
Kementerian Pertahanan Rusia enggan mengulas
mengenai laporan mengenai apa yang dipercayai menjadi ujian glider hipersonik yang
ke-2 Moscow.
Pada pertengahan April, pengarah Agensi
Pertahanan Peluru Berpandu Pentagon, James Syring, memberitahu Senat Amerika
Syarikat bahawa kedua-dua negara, nama-nama yang dia tidak mendedahkan,
menimbulkan ancaman peluru berpandu hipersonik yang semakin meningkat.
Walau bagaimanapun, ‘Washington Free Beacon’
memberi amaran bahawa Pentagon "melakukan sedikit untuk berurusan dengan
ancaman peluru berpandu hipersonik yang baru muncul."
“China’s repeated test of a hypersonic glide
vehicle demonstrates Beijing is committed to upending both the conventional
military and nuclear balance, with grave implications for the stability of
Asia,”Forbes said.
On
April 22, Russian Strategic Missile Forces conducted an intercontinental
ballistic missile (ICBM) launch, testing a hypersonic cruise missile.
An
Interfax source said that the launch from a missile deployment area in the
Orenburg Region on the border with Kazakhstan was a success.
The
Russian Defense Ministry declined to comment on reports about what is believed
to be Moscow’s second hypersonic glider test.
In
mid-April, the director of the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency, James Syring,
told the US Senate that two countries, the names of which he didn’t reveal,
pose a growing hypersonic missile threat.
However,
the Washington Free Beacon warns that the Pentagon “is doing little to deal with the emerging hypersonic missile threat.”

The
Missile Defense Agency has not funded any direct programs to counter hypersonic
arms in its 2017 fiscal budget of $7.5 billion.
This
year, it asked for funds to work on a low-powered laser to target hypersonic
missiles, but its tests will only start in 2021 when China’s DF-ZF will likely
already be in service, the website stressed.
