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.

China organized a grand Victory Parade on Wednesday (3r September 2025), which the whole world saw. With the help of this parade, China demonstrated its strength internationally. On this special occasion, President Xi Jinping shared the stage with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. The parade also included state -of -the -art weapons like hypersonic missiles, laser weapons and underwater drones. This view is not only showing China’s technological progress, but is also indicating its security policies internationally. This demonstration is a direct message to the US and Western countries that China is now an important part of the global power balance.

F-5C was the center of the most discussion in China’s Victory Parade with an intercontinental strategic nuclear missile with liquid fuel. China claims that this missile can attack in any corner of the world. Its firepower is 20,000 kilometers. This is 200 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Japan in World War II. It can be launched in a very short time. According to Chinese expert Professor Yang Chengjun, this missile can be divided into three parts and transported into separate vehicles. This not only makes transport easy, but can be deployed in any situation. This feature makes F-5C one of the world’s most dangerous strategic missiles.

Special things of f-5C missile

Talking about the specialty of F-5C missile, it mainly has 6 such things, which make it very dangerous.

• The range of F-5C missile is 20,000 km.
• The F-5C missile can be launched in a short time.
• The F-5C is based on the missile series, which enables it to launch it in different ways.
• The F-5C missile can carry MIRV, which can be equipped with traditional or nuclear payloads.
• The F-5C missile has a highly accurate navigation system, including Starlite Guidance, which makes it a very deadly weapon.
  It is clear from all these characteristics that F-5C is not just a weapon, but a symbol of China’s strategic power.

Impact on global security
This parade of China has forced global security experts to think. Strategic abilities such as hypersonic missiles and F-5C can affect the balance not only in Asia but all over the world. Experts believe that this parade highlights China’s policy in which it is constantly developing new technology to face external threats. This also indicates that in the future, China will play a decisive role not only in the Asia-Pacific region but also globally.

Russia has shown the world a new trailer of its military skills by testing the hypersonic missile from its fifth generation stealth fighter jet SU-57. This has been confirmed by the Chief of the Main Staff and First Deputy Commander in Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Lieutenant General Alexander Maqsimatsev. He said that the SU-57 fighter aircraft is now equipped with hypersonic weapons and Russia’s aerospace forces are getting advanced and modern weapons systems every year.

He told in an interview that according to the government’s order, now modern fighter aircraft like SU-57 are being delivered and fast. Russia has been indicating to install hypersonic missiles in its jet aircraft for the past few years. In February 2023, Russia’s Tass news agency reported that a small but deadly “air-to-piece hypersonic missile” was prepared and tested for SU-57.

What is Jircon Hyperconic Missile?
Jircon is Russia’s most modern hypersonic cruise missile. It was first included in the Russian Navy in the year 2023. This missile has also been deployed in submarines. Its biggest feature is its speed and strength. Jircon’s speed is Mach 9, that is, it runs nine times at the speed of voice-at a speed of 11,000 kilometers per hour.

Its strike range is up to 1000 km, so that it can target enemy’s hideouts from a distance. Its speed and firepower is so deadly that it can cheat any air defense system. Not only this, the strength of its carnitic energy is so high that it can completely destroy the biggest warship or aircraft career.

How far Nircon is compared to Western countries?
Jircon’s capabilities are much higher than the missiles of Western countries. America’s fastest hypersonic missile is SM-6, whose speed is only Mach 3.5 and the range is limited to 450 km. At the same time, China claims that it has a missile named YJ-21, which is equal to Jircon i.e. Mach 9 speed and 1000 km range, but no country in Europe has any missile that can match Jircon. In this sense, Russia has gone beyond the world in this technology.

SU-57 and Jircon duo: Radar also cheated
SU-57 is a fighter aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art stealth technology. It is very difficult to catch it with radar. Now in this aircraft, the Jircon missile has been integrated by hiding the internal weapon bay ie inside the aircraft. This means that the enemy cannot look at this missile until it fire.

SU-57 has been prepared in such a way that it can carry out a very fast-paced distance attack. Russia has already made an air-to-air R-77M missile for this, whose range is more than 400 kilometers. Apart from this, in October 2023, Russia’s government media claimed a new long-range cruise missile test, which is based on KH-101/102 and the range of about 3500 km.

Big question for India: Will SU-57 buy?
India has recently refused to buy America’s F-35 fighter jet. In such a situation, now the defense experts are eyeing whether India will now move towards buying SU-57 of Russia? SU-57 is not only equipped with stealth technology, but now hypersonic weapons have also been added to it. If India buys this fighter jet, it can take the strength of the Indian Air Force to a new height. India and Russia have already strong defense relations and the involvement of state-of-the-art fighter jets like SU-57 can increase India’s strategic capacity manifold.
