Jura The idiot
General
moments ago I noticed another recent claim: 'EM launch' (as in cold launch or hot launch) VLSI'd be surprised if the Chinese universal VLS had their cells slanted... and we've had photos of their VLS cells with doors open as well as VLS modules outside of the ship before they were installed onto 052Ds. I'm pretty sure they're not slanted in the way you imagine...
In fact where did this idea even come from anyway?

and posts leading to itFrom what I understand, it is an advanced VLS that utilizes electromagnets to propel the projectile out of the cell and does so with a very high velocity as to allow smaller projectiles to have the same range as larger (conventionally-launched) projectiles that have rocket boosters.
