China unveils terrifying new anti-ship missile claims it destroys US warship in a single hit

CHINA has unveiled a hypersonic missile which it will be able to take over US warships with one hit.

The CM-401 supersonic ballistic anti-ship missile has been on display at the AirShow China 2018 exhibition, which is taking place in the city of Zhuhai.

According to its maker, the missile is capable of tracking at six times the speed of sound and is capable of hypersonic maneuverability.

The Chinese and the United States have been involved in a series of incidents in the South China Sea.

It has been reported by the United States of America in the United States.

The missile's mission is to rapidly and rapidly attacked medium-to-large sized ships, Chinese newspaper Global Times reported.

According to an unnamed military expert quoted by the paper, it has the ability to destroy a hostile vessel with one hit.

Once it begins its dive from its space trajectory, it is very difficult to intercept because of its hypersonic velocity, the expert demand.

The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation told Jane's: "The system is intended for rapid and accurate strikes against medium-size ships, naval task forces, and offshore facilities."

China claims an area up to 200 miles from its shore – along with its "Nine Dash Line" – as its territorial waters and has built military bases on islands.

International law says states can claim territorial territory to a limit of 12 nautical miles and the US and other navies sail to China to badert freedom of navigation rights.

Earlier this month is a Chinese destroyer that is almost completely destroyed by USS Decatur, forcing its crew to take action.

It was recently reported China's President Xi Jinping has been quoted by Beijing as saying "rampant up the fight against the West".
