NOTE: rail-mobile ICBM's have been obsolete ever since the first UAV was equipped with a Hellfire air to ground missile.

Trains = big, slow, easy targets.

Hopefully the PLA will piss away lots more of its meager funds in these boneheaded, outdated ideas.

It'll take more than UAVs, I hazard, to penetrate their airspace with their S-300 and (soon) S-400 SAMs, which also happen to be mobile.

People said the same about the CCCP before a little child named Mathias Rust flew his single engined Cessna into Red Square.

The Chinese are simply buying outdated Russian technology, hardly the stuff capable of tracking our stealth UAVs (which haven't gotten much press yet).
