The USAF also says China has a 20x cost advantage in terms of equivalent hypersonic missile capability in the Western Pacific.
If we use the LHRW ($43 Mn) as the likely baseline, that implies a DF-17 is only $2 Million.
That $2 Mn figure also matches up with the stated figure in a Guancha podcast.

Based on your statement, the implication is that the US Navy would be deterred from approaching to within 3000km of mainland China.
Does a nuclear-powered submarine have unlimited range submerged?
That's kinda the entire point of them, yes. Limited only by crew food and endurance.
Does the PLAN have a use for a new-generation corvette / light-frigate?
It seems a platform like that would be good for rolling out the latest propulsion and RCS-reduction technology, without spending on a larger hull. Would PLAN formations benefit from more pickets and liason ships?
PLAN probably wants to give more new commands to command-track officers.

Good evening, dear members. Could you give me a hand with the follwing issue.
I am writing a book about first generation of chinese diesel subs, many questions occur. Two of the them are hard to solve:
1) Were all Romeos of type 033 fitted with two 6E390C engines or the latest samples were given more mighty 6E390ZC-1 ?
2) Do I understand correctly that the latest variants 035G and 035B of Ming class were given 6E390ZC-2 engines?
Tnank you in advance!
