A ‘Sputnik moment’? Milley hints China’s hypersonic weapons test has left US in arms-race dust
Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley has suggested that China’s recent test of a hypersonic weapon might be a “Sputnik moment,” suggesting the US has fallen way behind in the 21st century arms race.
“What we saw was a very significant event of a test of a hypersonic weapon system. And it is very concerning,” Milley said in a Bloomberg interview. “I don’t know if it’s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think it’s very close to that.”
Something other than “white rage” for the military chief to be concerned about?
