The shell, dubbed the ‘dream bullet’, is based on a failed US Navy project that was abandoned in 2021.
The breakthrough could give China a huge edge in naval warfare and alter the global balance of power.
The shell can travel at speeds of up to Mach 7 (about 5,300 mph) and adjust its flight path according to satellite navigation signals.
The shell is designed to hit targets with high accuracy and destructive power.
The US Navy had been working on developing such a shell since 2012, but abandoned the project in 2021 due to technical difficulties and budget constraints.
Chinese naval scientists claim that they have successfully created the ‘dream bullet’ based on the US Navy’s blueprints.
They published a paper in November 2023, describing their achievements and challenges.
They also said that their research could give China a significant advantage in the military field and change the global balance of power. ¹²³
The US Navy has not officially responded to the Chinese claim of creating the ‘dream bullet’.
However, the Navy has been critical of China’s activities in the South China Sea, where it has been conducting naval exercises and building artificial islands.
The Navy has also been developing its own stealth missiles and stealth fighters to counter China’s military capabilities
