America’s Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI) from Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system had successfully destroyed an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) in a test recently. In the statement released by MDA, it stated, "The US Missile Defense Agency, in cooperation with the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense, US Northern Command, and elements of the US Air Force Space Command… conducted a successful test today against an ICBM class target. The GBI-Lead destroyed the reentry vehicle, as it was designed to do.” This is a game-changing capability since an ICBM can reach speeds of Mach 20+ and knocking it down mid-air is an exceptionally complex feat. Following the test, China’s Ministry of Defense has expressed concern about strategic stability. Senior Colonel Wu Qian, director General of the Information Office of China’s Ministry of National Defense and the ministry’s spokesperson, said during a regular monthly press conference. “The Chinese side regards missile defense as an important issue of strategic stability that matters on the trust between countries. It should be handled very carefully” China has in the past expressed concerns about the United States developing missile defense systems capable of posing a threat to its second strike nuclear forces.
