Looking at the Trident 2 figures in more detail, if the throw weight is only 67%, you get 77% extra range.
So if you half the throw weight, you could get double the range.

If I had to guess I'd say climate control for the missile. Russian TELs have something similar:
Which figures? Must have been posted a while back.
Looking at the weight of the JL-2, the JL-2 is probably capable of reaching the USA while carrying a 1-ton payload. Unless China is absolutely inept at solid-fueled rockets (we know it isn't) that's the capability a 42 ton and 3 stage missile should have.
Big explosion. Is it a full sized mock up aircraft carrier
It's either subscale or they missed and the RV is nearer the camera (much nearer)
Something is definitely odd here.

My suspicion is that they purposely offset the point of impact. With the current real time telemetry and tracking technology, one does not need a direct hit to prove the accuracy of a missile.
The mockup is quite elaborate to present a good approximation to the real thing. So it will be a waste to destroy it in just one test. Previous video in this thread showed mockups that have far less detail to look like a real carrier. So I would believe that this is close to the final stage of testing.
Either that, mockup is far smaller, or it was nuclear lol
this for sale on ebay or where or how I can get oneThis looks like an 'official' model.
