HQ-XX/DN4 spotted again with two tubes (ICBM/BMD defense) as per the Hurin92 from twitter..
More images of the mystery missile.
洋务先驱张之洞: Something a notch above the HQ-19 — worthy of being mounted on the military’s only armored cab air defense missile launcher.
Begs the question of why bother putting on a tarp when you can see everything anyway… is this to protect the launcher from the elements?
The original poster claimed that these could be HQ-29/26/DN-XX(?), though I'm not so sure of the claim, given the presence of air conditioning units above the driver cabs. Said to be photographed at Shandong last year. Posted by @tyruschi on Twitter.
I wonder how this thing compares to GBI if it's truly a KEI-equivalent, for midcourse ICBM defence. Higher speed etc should enable more shoot look shoot cycles/improve ability for later/more last minute engagements.
Same vhl chassis, power unit or cooling system for a massive radar (third vhl?). The kind of radar that could require 4 or 8 of these vhls...
Not opposed to the existence of such a system but... is it even worth it? They could just downlink sensor data from the any number of BMD sensors and space based IR like KEI does right?
A graphite bomb designed to disable a power plant and cut off electricity was shown in China. Graphite weapons can affect control systems, causing power outages over an area of at least 10,000 square meters. No details about the name or type of such weapons are given. According to experts, it is a graphite bomb. In the footage, a mobile launcher launches a projectile at a distance of up to 290 km. When a graphite munition with a warhead weighing 490 kg explodes, 90 cylindrical submunitions are ejected. Then thin carbon threads are dispersed, which cause a short circuit in the energy infrastructure networks.
In China, they filmed the launch of missiles with a new rocket engine, with a deflected thrust vector. Judging by the video, the missiles change their flight path by 90 degrees almost instantly. At the same time, the missile moves at a huge speed. It is reported that the engine's starting acceleration can reach 2.6 Mach, and the maximum speed is from 16 to 20 thousand km / h. It is worth noting that it is possible that this is just computer editing.
