China ICBM/SLBM, nuclear arms thread

Bloomberg reviewed the corporate filings of every listed Chinese company that mentioned either of the nation’s two leading state-owned missile makers at least once per year in that period. The number of firms that disclosed producing key missile components rose to 81 last year, more than double than during Xi’s first year in office.

Within that group, last year saw the highest percentage of companies reporting record revenues of any during Xi’s tenure, which the analysis indicates is due to a surge of new orders to expand China’s missile program. That contrasted with an aggregate drop in revenue over the same period among China’s 300 largest listed companies.

Can anyone with access to bloomberg see if there's any more information on their methodology? as it is at face value the metric that they give seems utterly useless.

Looks like a HGV ICBM or IRBM test on 11 Sep

Any news about China's strategic communication aircraft (Chinese "Looking Glass" aircraft / E-6)? Y-9 platform?

China has been building supportive infrastructure for the newly built missile silos in the north-western deserts. Purposes of some construction remains obscure.

Will it be the deployment field for Chinese version Midgetman? There's rumor that China had one to exhibit in 9.3 parade but was revoked at the last minute.

foolsball thinks it's just a practice area for PLAGF, not a PLARF site, and that the report is of low quality.

Decker Eveleth also thinks this.

These facilities with various geometric layouts (lots of them in taklamakan/gobi desert) are likely used as testing grounds for checking radar signatures, calibrating sensors, and seeing where missiles hit. Those octagonal ones look exactly like instrumentation grids for measuring blast fragmentation and/or tracking projectiles.
