DF-ZF

The Chinese DF-ZF Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV), dubbed WU-14, is a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile delivery vehicle designed to penetrate the United States ballistic missile defenses. The HGV payload is launched as the final stage of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The HGV hypersonic vehicle is capable of speeds between Mach 5 (+6,000 kilometers per hour) and Mach 10 (+12,000 kilometers per hour) at altitudes of up to 62 miles (100 kilometers). An hypersonic cruise missile can perform precision strikes with relative low altitude and flat trajectory which makes it difficult to detect and neutralize by conventional air and missile defenses. The first test of the new weapon was carried out over China on January 9, 2014. The Chinese Global Times reported that the maximum speed achieved by the WU-14 during the test was actually Mach 20 instead of Mach 10 as reported by the United States. The weapon was re-named DF-ZF in November 2015. The DF-ZF hypersonic weapon entered service in the 2021-2022 timeframe with the glider being capable of speeds of up to March 12. It has been reported that the glider is able to hit surface ships.
