US test launches hypersonic nuclear missile capable of reaching Moscow in 30 minutes amid rising threats of WW3

The US military has conducted a test launch of a hypersonic nuclear missile which is designed to counter the rising military threat of China and Russia.

Military officials said the purpose of the test was to show the 'readiness of nuclear US forces' and provide 'confidence in the nation's nuclear deterrence' amid fears of the growing threat of the outbreak of World War III.

The demonstration saw an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) blasted off at 12:56am PT from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California...

The weapon traveled more than 4,000 miles at speeds over 15,000 miles per hour to a test range on the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific Ocean...

Titan was capable of traveling to a target more than 6,000 miles away in less than 30 minutes.
