China's New Hypersonic Missile Threatens Regional Stability, Analyst Warns | Zero Hedge: Earlier this summer we reported how China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) published a video showing the Dong Feng hypersonic missile ("East Wind"), DF-17 for short, simulating an attack on enemy forces.
The DF-17 is designed to fly at hypersonic speeds and evade existing missile defense systems, such as America's anti-ballistic missile defense system called: Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).
A source from CASIC told the South China Morning Post that "the DF-17 will be capable of delivering both nuclear and conventional payloads." He refused to release his name due to the sensitivity of the topic.
