Beijing’s new military communication network enables real-time coordination to enemy attacks during high-speed combat
Experts said this innovation could mark a strategic shift: from isolated hypersonic breakthroughs to a fully networked, cooperative strike ecosystem. Without equivalent capabilities, Western militaries could be left “time blind”, unable to react to coordinated hypersonic swarms operating with surgical precision.
The new data link addresses a critical challenge in hypersonic warfare: at relative speeds that could exceed 4km (2.4 miles) per second, even extremely small timing errors could translate to kilometre-level targeting miscalculations.
