CHINA SUCCESSFULLY TESTS HYPERSONIC GLIDE VEHICLE-EQUIPPED NUCLEAR MISSILE DF-17 IN XINJIANG PROVINCE
According to a U.S. government source who described recent intelligence assessments on the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) on the condition of anonymity, China recently conducted two tests of a new missile known as the DF-17. The first test took place on November 1 and the second test took place on November 15. The November 1 test was the first Chinese ballistic missile test to take place after the conclusion of the first plenum of the Communist Party of China’s 19th Party Congress in October.

CHINA CARRIED OUT THE FIRST FLIGHT-TESTS OF DF-17, A NEW KIND OF BALLISTIC MISSILE WITH A HYPERSONIC GLIDE VEHICLE (HGV) IN NOVEMBER, THE DIPLOMAT HAS LEARNED.
“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.” Revelation 16:12 (KJV)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Quietly and mostly under the radar of world scrutiny, China has amassed an arsenal of nuclear weapons that boggles the mind. Originally aided by Russia, China is now producing nuclear missiles and hypersonic transport systems which makes them the world’s 4th largest nuclear power, and advancing rapidly. Their new DF-17 poses an impressive threat to the United States military, as does similar hypersonic technology from Russia. Kings of the East, indeed.

During the November 1 test flight, which took place from the Jiuquan Space Launcher Center in Inner Mongolia, the missile’s payload flew to a range of approximately 1,400 kilometers with the HGV flying at a depressed altitude of around 60 kilometers following the completion of the DF-17’s ballistic and reentry phases.
