Yankee called this the Chinese version of Poseidon, wow, crazy!

What will it get launched by tho, Poseidons are supposedly carried only by the Belgorod operationally and also the project 09851 class which is supposedly based on the Borei but without the ballistic missile section. Those are both massive submarines, I have a feeling current 093/094 cannot be modified to carry such weapon. Could it be meant for the larger 095/096 class or maybe some special variant of the former?

Poseidon is nuclear powered though, is this chinese weapon so powered?

I was guesstimating few days back (without being privy to any kind of inside info btw) such a development. Just bragging a bit about it now lol. Anyway, a sino-Poseidon is significantly altering the nuclear strategic balance no? Any guesstimates as to size?

There are people waiting to take pictures at this uphill intersection.

Assuming the whole truck is 12 meters long or so, then this thing is perhaps ~10m. Poseidon is supposedly 20m long/1m wide (i'm not confident on this at all), this then would be a half size Poseidon? It definitely would be easier to deploy than its Russian equivalent at least.

WRONG INITIAL ASSUMPTION!

Uh no? This truck + trailer is certainly much longer than the 12-meter trucks that are carrying the U(C)AVs and missiles.

For reference

Can someone make sense of the designation? In terms of past references, not as speculation I mean?

Take note of the things in yellow and red circle. Yellow one looks like pylon attachment station, while the red one may be an attachment hook for towing by a ship or a submarine???

Also IIRC "A" on the first prefix of a designation usually indicate air launch munition, but this thing is so big can a H6K/J/N carry it? May be H6N?

Those are simply for moving this UUV via a crane or something. There is also no bomber on this planet capable of carrying this so no it is not going to be air launchable
