An air show dedicated to drones has started in Zhuhai, China, which means that we will see many new products in the near future. One of them is not a drone, but the latest hypersonic missile.

Here's What We Know

About a week ago, we wrote about an aeroballistic missile, photos of which appeared on social media. As it turns out, it is a hypersonic YJ-21. It is the latest anti-ship missile with a launch range of more than 2000 km. It is similar to the Russian KINZHAL missile, but has larger dimensions.

The South China Morning Post quotes experts as saying that China has thus sent a warning to Washington. However, it notes that there is an export version of the hypersonic missile under the wing of the H-6K bomber.
