Misc. Chinese Military Equipment.

[Sferrin]

Wasn't sure where else to put this. Supposedly a test of a Chinese supersonic cruise missile.

"-range is "1000+km" or "thousands of km" (上千公里), pic 3 -it has integrated ECM/jamming and advanced ECCM for penetration aid against defenses, pic 4 "

(Maybe Deino could weigh in?)

The test launch missilemay be the "DF-100" (all the commentators called it CJ-100 despite the writing on the launchers).

DF-100 is new to me.

Better images of DF-100. Super weird booster setup.

Was that a Pershing II clone I saw?

I bet China has detailed blueprints for every US weapon system

+1 I'll post this again for those who want to keep downplaying China:

Suddenly Reagan's 1,000 ship navy is becoming necessary again.

With a lot, I mean a lot of SSNs

That implies a pretty slick manufacturing section to build sufficient blocks to keep all 5 hulls roughly in parallel construction and the supply chain for all the necessary equipment. Fitting out five hulls at once will be interesting.

It is impressive, I still have doubts over build quality, but there is no denying they are looking for ways to rationalise and streamline production. It may even be an attempt to reduce costs - which would imply China is feeling some pinch from the building programme.
