A second suspected missile target in the shape of a U.S. aircraft carrier has been spotted in a rural Chinese desert, according to satellite photos obtained by USNI News.
The site consists of a single aircraft carrier target, miles from the nearest town in the Xinjiang region, according to photos provided to USNI News by satellite imagery company Maxar. The carrier target is about 300 miles away from a larger suspected missile range in the Taklamakan Desert, first reported by USNI News on Sunday. The two sites share similar characteristics and are aligned on a map with the carriers facing the same direction – as if in a convoy. Like the first, this new target shares the same dimensions as a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier.

I wouldn’t violate PRC airspace unless I was going to take out a real target.
“As opposed to an urban one?”
Detoilet?
“The Chinese development of their hypersonic missile now in beta will render our carriers obsolete.”
Directed energy weapons are already being fitted to certain U.S. vessel classes and continued development of kinetic ship defense weapons is not standing still.
“Genderloons”. Wow that is too perfect. I’m borrowing that absolutely perfecto description from now on if you don’t mind. It has a nice ring to it. 🙂
And they can’t hit either of them.
Oh yeah, like those rail guns popular mechanix said were being deployed 20 years ago...
Be in the fleet, real soon now.
Current laser in the experimantal (not deployed) stage might be lethal to small boats and drones, not super and hypersonic missiles.
In a thousand years after the radiation in China has made it possible for life to exist there again, explorers are going to wonder how those large ships came to be so far inland.
I hope the Chinese are using diversity in their cardboard crew member cutouts. For realism.
Any room on the bridge for a 4-star trans-admiral?
“we should build a really big dam in the sw nevada desert”
That would really, really upset FR’s gang of “China is Superman” trolls
We have those here too?
The rail gun program was discontinued, not that long ago, specifically because of the positive outlook for laser weapons (and uneconomic wear to the rails).
Of possible interest. Have never heard of WION in India, but showed up on YT first time. Well-spoken, attractive news person. Not airhead irritant.

“At least 10 mysterious, high-intensity blasts have struck China in 7 days. Several people have died, many were injured. China is trying to cover up; nothing is being said on whether these blasts were accidents or coordinated attacks. Palki Sharma brings you the details.”
