In China’s latest attempt to intimidate the United States, they conducted a flight test of a new missile capable of destroying U.S. satellites. In simple terms, they created a space missile as part of their growing space warfare arsenal. While that certainly sparks the imagination in science-fiction fans everywhere, it isn’t exactly new technology.
And, unfortunately, it doesn’t mean that mankind will be taking to the stars anytime soon to conquer galaxies far far away. In this nuclear stalemate that the major powers of the world are currently locked in, tensions have been tight for quite some time, causing countries like China and Russia to intimidate through missile weapons tests like the one that look place at the Korla Missile Test Complex in Western China.
The test of Dong Neng-3 exoatmospheric vehicle was carried out on Oct. 30 followed by what reports are claiming was a missile defense interceptor flight text carried out Nov. 1. Photos of both can be seen online. And despite the photographic evidence, U.S. state department and Pentagon officials declined to comment on these anti-sattelite tests, leaving many to wonder if they’re even taking it seriously.

Looks like a bird to me.
This is why we need Trump 2016. He won’t put up with this c**p.
Andrew Picard that US navy test missile must have been a show of power to China and Russia. Hmmm?
Why not. Everybody else is stepping on us.
These people make money on fear, just ignore it. Each nation, like the US China, Russia,UK, etc. Have the ability to target and destroy satellites. They wouldn’t because they know if they do, there will be so much debris, that it would endanger every satellite in orbit.
Right that’s true
More like a bee or a fly judging from flight pattern..lol
Asians cant drive
George Angelini …I am a pilot …but I don’t have to be a pilot to have witnessed hundreds of contrails from high flying jets. NEVER have I witnessed atmospheric conditions ….move a “straight” contrail in several 360 degree circles …nor have the contrails thinned & dispersed due to this circling eddies of wind. Have YOU ever seen this happen to a “straight” jet contrail?
It’s Chinese, it’s cheap c**p
