2. China's DF-17 Hypersonic Glide Vehicle

Highlighting China's rapidly growing military prowess, the DF-17 stands as one of the most advanced operational hypersonic weapons. This medium-range ballistic missile system, equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), demonstrates remarkable precision and agility. Capable of reaching speeds between Mach 5 and Mach 10, the DF-17 excels in accuracy and trajectory adjustments during its terminal phase.
