The Dongfeng-17, described as a "hypersonic glider," is specifically designed to be more difficult than usual to knock out of the sky, according to multiple news reports.

The available images suggest that the missile could be shown with its hypersonic glider (sheltered under the cap), which has been under test for several years.

The Sarmat is designed to carry a hypersonic glider warhead, codenamed ‘Avangard’ (Advance Guard), which already provoked panic from US intelligence agencies.

It is likely that 16 DF-17s, a missile described as the launcher of the DF-ZF hypersonic glider, are also in the parade, which would be a major first.

Project V-MaX (Experimental Maneuvering Vehicle) aims to create a hypersonic glider with a speed of more than 3,700 miles per hour, or Mach 5, by 2021.

In the past, tests of a Chinese hypersonic glider—an unpowered maneuvering high speed missile—were kept secret but frequently disclosed by U.S. officials.
