China, Russia, North Korea reportedly have successful hypersonic missile tests on heels of America's failure

China and Russia reportedly completed weapons tests over the summer 2021, with China's glide vehicle capabilities taking US military officials by surprise.

The U.S. last completed a successful hypersonic weapons test in September, but a follow-up test in October ended in failure, adding a possible delay to full weapons testing until later in 2022, Reuters reported.  

The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command released a statement that noted the test "highlights the destabilizing impact of the DPRK's illicit weapons program."

A senior Biden administration official told Fox News that officials remain aware of North Korea’s claims and have worked to assess the specific nature of the "launch event."
