China’s terrifying arsenal of space weapons could have a ‘devastating impact’ warns US

Ned Price, US State Department spokesman has said that the US is “deeply concerned” about the rapid expansion of China’s nuclear capabilities, “including its development of novel delivery systems”.

The Financial Times reported that China’s launching of the nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August, when the missile circled the globe before darting towards its target, was a display of advanced space capability.

But these weapons are not said to be anything new, as the Soviet Union has reportedly been developing them since 1960s.

Although it is thought these space weapons were viewed as less useful than submarine-launched warheads or ICBMs used down on Earth.
