Zinc Sulfide windows are used by IR detectors inside Hypersonic vehicles to look out, and see through the friction generated heat from the atmosphere.
It can be used as an optical window for the IR seeker head of a missile, but not necessarily a hypersonic missile.

Does anyone recognize this missile? Looks like an air-launched stand-off cruise missile with folded wings.

So China is finally developing something similar to JASSM (long-range air-launched cruise missiles light enough to be carried by fighters).

If that is real pic I wonder what the "but hypersonic missiles are the future. Slower missiles are useless even if low rcs" crew is going to say now when China is apparently making something similar to JASSM.

People, including blitzo have basically predicted that China would most likely field a JASSM like weapon at some point in the future.

Even if they might not be used against the US, might still be useful for other conflicts or to just sell.

Not to mention, we don't even know the specs of that one (in the pics), might not be subsonic for example.

Or even if subsonic, they might be able to reduce its price to be a magnitude of 10 times lower than JASSM, at which point, things can get interesting.
