The Mars Mission tunnel, a facility built to replicate harsh hypersonic flight conditions, served as the test site. The missile is designed to withstand speeds greater than Mach 9 and is exposed to temperatures reaching 2,192°F (1,200°C). This accomplishment demonstrates China's progress in hypersonic technology, especially in aiming for swiftly moving aerial objects.
Although the missile's exact specifications are yet unknown, the successful testing highlights China's expanding capacity to produce very advanced hypersonic weapons.
