Chinese SLBM missile launch: Tell me, do you really think that this is an airliner and not a missile launch, as the Jane's expert is calling it and as the former Under Secretary of Defense is calling it???
Good, the Chinese should continue to waste billions of dollars seeking a technology that is utterly useless. They should develop even greater stealth technologies for these boomers, and spend even more money building the largest fleet ever. Hope Russia revives their boomer program and spends billions on it as well.
It won’t surprise me one bit if Obama is giving the ChiComs missile secrets.
They tested one off of LA a while back.
Ping.
This is nothing new. The PRC have been testing ballistic missile from this Golf Class test submarine for decades. In the 1980s they built their first dedicated SLBM sub the Type 92 (Xia Class). In the last decade they have built the Type 094 (Jin Class) nuclear powered ballistic sub to field the JL-2 ballistic missile.
They never could have done this without Bill Clinton and Loral. Thanks for the treason Bill. Hiding behind the Lewinski scandal was genius. As for the Republicans who allowed it. They should be shot by the same firing squad for treason.
