He's not talking about DF-ZF.

China does have something hypersonic that sustained an average speed (across the globe) close to mach 20 with top speed probably at, around, or above mach 20. At least if US government statements are anything to go by.

DF-ZF is far from the only Chinese hypersonic "thing" out there. However it is the only one China was okay with letting the public photograph it without any restraint... well at least from a distance and limited angles.
What else? I only know about df-100

Why is this shared in the Chinese hypersonic weapons thread? Are you looking to derail this thread?
It's a bit off-topic definitely, but at the same time kinda something that can be talked about here?

Like comparisons, implications etc? Although I suppose best would be a dedicated thread for US hypersonics (do we have such a thread though? or if we do, how old and untouched is it lol).

No. This is a flagship thread, which means moderated and on-topic. If he wants to discuss US hypersonic weapons, he can create another thread and discuss them there.

You suppose correctly.

Direct comparisons are forbidden per forum rules. Also, the information in his post is highly inappropriate for this thread, given its potential for derailing this thread and turning it into a worthless back-and-forth about USA vs Russia vs China vs Ukraine and blah blah blah.

@escobar should instead have shared it in the US Military News, Reports, Data thread, or even in the Ukraine war thread.
