Thread: China displays new ballistic missile

China’s military has shown off a new hypersonic ballistic nuclear missile believed capable of breaching all existing anti-missile shields deployed by the U.S. and its allies.


The vehicle-mounted DF-17 was among weapons displayed Tuesday in a massive military parade marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese state.


Some analysts have called the missile a threat to regional stability because its speed allows far less time to determine whether to fire nuclear weapons in response.





That speed and its use of multiple independently maneuverable re-entry vehicles to deliver its warheads makes it far more difficult to detect and intercept.



The DF-17′s hypersonic glide vehicle technology also permits it to fly at a much lower altitude just prior to delivering its warhead, further frustrating attempts to detect and intercept.

So that's Russia and China with hypersonic ballistic missiles now. The west is lagging behind.

about fooking time they show strength, the US is out of control and drunk on hegemony power

at least we have Trump to shut that down

Trump needs to up his game and have a decent military parade

It is supposed to be stirring the Chinese national pride and girding the Chinese national loins for the coming battle with the evil West.

Why are they using a western style brass band?

They should have a guzheng string section and a gigantic pair of Chinese brass gongs and a war tattoo on the tanggu drums in honour of Sun Tzu.

Of course it all increases the chances of all out nuclear war if one of them gets fired in error.

You fucking credulous moron, it hasn't flown, it cannot fly and it is simply a fucking mock-up and the Russian hyper missile has flown about 21 miles through the hyper air and then smack into the fucking hyper sea.

What you do not comprehend in your pea-sized pinhead is the not entirely insignificant fact that the US is fucking streets ahead in the development of laser beam weaponry that renders all the fucking 'hyper' shit fucking redundant.

China is still in the fucking dark ages.

Indeed......there doesn't appear to be enough space in it for the large volume of propellant required to go that fast for that long.
