China has once again surprised everyone in the world of defense. Scientists in Beijing have claimed to have created a hypersonic missile that can change its shape while flying at a speed greater than Mach 5. Till now this was not considered possible, but this ‘morphing weapon’ has broken all the limits of aerodynamics.

This research was done under the leadership of Professor Wang Peng of China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT). It has been published in the international journal Acta Aeronautica et Astronautica Sinica. According to the report, this missile can fold or spread its wings during flight, when speed is required, the wings go inside and when the direction needs to be changed, they come out.

How does the shape change during flight?

A state-of-the-art control system (Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control) has been installed in this morphing missile. This system changes the position of the fins in real-time so that the missile can change shape while remaining stable in the air without changing its direction. That means now the missile itself does not move – its wings move automatically. This is considered to be the most difficult achievement of hypersonic aerodynamics till now.

Technology is amazing, but challenges still remain

Although this discovery of China is surprising, it still faces many difficulties. During hypersonic flight the temperature reaches 2000°C, due to which there is a risk of metal melting. The biggest challenge is to maintain thermal protection and stability. Similarly, problems like control chattering can make the missile unstable in the air.

New hope towards hypersonic passenger aircraft

Chinese experts say that this technology can help in making hypersonic passenger aircraft in the future. However, at present it is being used entirely for military purposes. Beijing is calling this technology the future foundation of its defense sector.

China’s hypersonic missile and global concern

In the 2021 military parade, China had displayed the CJ-1000 hypersonic cruise missile, which many experts are now considering to be a model related to morphing technology. It is believed that this missile can accurately target targets like stealth jets and aircraft carriers. However, the missile was shown in a sealed container, which increased the mystery surrounding its design.

A glimpse of future missile technology – Wang Peng

Professor Wang Peng said that this research is a glimpse of future hypersonic missile technology. He told that China is now working towards not only matching America and Russia, but also surpassing them. This shape-shifting weapon can completely change the global defense balance in the coming years.

Operation vermilion was run in Pakistan from 7-10 May by the Indian Armed Forces. During India’s operation, international security expert and warfare scholar John Spencer said that India’s Operation Sindoor was a message not only to Pakistan, but the whole world. With this operation, New Delhi also showed the intention of making an accurate attack with its military capability.

In an interview to news agency ANI, John Spencer said, “Pakistan’s army is equipped with Chinese weapons. Operation Sindoor was an examination between India’s indigenous systems and Chinese safety techniques, which the whole world was looking after.”

China considers Pakistan its laboratory- Spencer

John Spencer said, “China uses Pakistan as its laboratory, where it tests its military techniques. India also shares its boundaries with China. At the same time, the Turkas also provided their military capability to Pakistan during this struggle. So it was actually a test of those techniques. Apart from this, in addition, it was also a kind of proxy war, which it was a kind of proxy war and what is their border with which country. Are.”

There is a inter-spenser between war and operation

He said, “The capacity of Chinese techniques during this entire operation can not only be understood through statements, but it can also be seen through satellite and video footage.” He added, “There is a difference between war and operations named vermilion, which was started as a response to a terrorist attack. It had a beginning and also a certain end.”

Operation vermilion started in response to Pahalgam terror attack

It is noteworthy that India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7 in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on 22 April. Under this operation, the Indian armed forces destroyed nine locations of terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). Apart from this, India not only failed the military action taken by Pakistan but also made strong attacks on its airbase. After this, DGMO of Pakistan talked to its Indian counterpart about ceasefire, then the ceasefire was implemented between India and Pakistan.
