麻烦翻一翻之前 对话再评论 谢谢 !

Since joining the forum you have not written anything coherent, substantive, and are just chest thumping.

Furthermore, this is primarily an English language form which requires you to write in English.


I'm sorry, but you are receiving a permanent ban because you have not engaged with anyone constructively at all despite everyone treating you with kid gloves.

The fact that they launched the missile from shallow depths within Bohai shows that China is planning for worst case scenario if the nuclear subs can’t make it to deeper water in SCS.
Reminds me of the Soviet navy's creation of the SSBN bastions in the arctic Laptev,Kara,Barents seas where the Russian Tyhoon,Delta 4 series SSBNs can remain safely in their waters without traversing NATO/US chokepoints/SOSUS networks and as the SLBM technology can provide the necessary range /accuracy/numbers to make it feasible.The SCS is viable but the Gulf of Bohai /Chihli is way too shallow. for a PLAN ssbn bastion.

It has been claimed/alleged that the DF-5C was already active 10 years ago (i.e., ~2016). The details were obscured for obvious reasons, and the original post on Weibo has been removed/deleted.

If the claim/allegation is true, then god knows what China has in store right now...
I am a bit surprised if it was operational in 2016, I thought around 2019/2020 ..... but probably reasonable to anticipate Trump unpredictability in his 1st term

Definitely fake. No Chinese ICBM in active service would have model designations painted on its body, these markings can only be seen on models used in parades.

btw It’s also worth noting that there are quite a few braggarts in TikTok’s comments section who boast about having operated some kind of advanced weaponry during their military service—just as you wouldn’t take the random nonsense posted by such users on Reddit and Twitter at face value.
