China Ballistic Missiles and Nuclear Arms Thread

[AssassinsMace]

If China can get a hypersonic vehicle to drop bombs on targets, there's your long range conventional strike capability. It's the US's Prompt Global Strike realized in China. Americans taunted it but turned out to be a dude to the world because the US already has the capability to strike anywhere in the world without it because it has bases all over the world that already can do what Prompt Global Strike does with "conventional" means hence why it was cancelled. But China having it... the terror they were expecting from the world hearing the news they had it will now be felt in the West. Just like how they're paranoid China wants to steal the private data of everyday Americans because they think they're that important personally, they will be paranoid that China will drop a bomb on them personally. Republicans will be paranoid to go out in the open where Chinese satellites will follow them everywhere they go. For a couple hundred years the West didn't have to fear a conventional military attack at home from a non-white country. Their military was a giant wall that protected the homeland. It made them arrogant. If China can get a hypersonic glide bomber to work they will feel safe no more. It can hit ships at their home ports. It can hit important infrastructure. It can hit technological centers. You don't need to get close enough to be within range when the world is within range. Americans will cry for a nuclear response when it's what they do all the time when they conventionally strike any country. They'll complain when all that does is open the door to a nuclear response when the US conventionally attacks another country.

Just two quick questions: 1)does Chinese mobile ICBM launchers are reloadable? If yes, how many missiles are prepared for one launcher? I can’t find any solid evidence and appreciate for any cue. 2)how many mobile ICBM brigades are confirmed now?

From what I heard other people say, they typically assume the ICBMs have one missile reload per launcher, so you should have one missile in the tube and another for reload in storage.

I also heard something like that but very curious about the original resource.

[PART 2 OF 2]

Adding:
These ULR-torpedo-missile units could also be modified in order to be launched from ISO shipping containers, which can then be launched from container ships, container railway carriages and container trucks that are located closer to the United States and Europe, just like the one shown below:
Of course, the length and diameter of the ULR-torpedo-missile units would have to be shorter in order to fit inside the ISO container, which comes at a hefty disadvantage of reduced strike range.
..........

[PART 2 END]

So what do you guys think of this idea? Viable and doable?

The idea of using ultra long range missiles / torpedoes to hit an enemy in his homeland is definitely going to be one of the tactics used by the PLA in an all out war. They will be used for attacking super high value targets.

Sometimes the amount of damage that can be done to the enemy's war fighting capacity is not based on how much firepower is delivered but where. For example dropping 20,000 kg worth of bombs onto enemy infantry and artillery positions is not going to change the outcome of an entire war. However dropping 20,000 kg worth of bombs onto a factory that is responsible for producing semiconductors which goes into everything from making jet planes, missiles, tanks, and warships.....now that can be a game changer. There are many high value targets that would be on the list for destruction: jet engine factories, the stock market exchange, the central bank of a nation, oil refineries,.... just let your imagination loose.

The value that ultra long range weapons will bring to the table is so obvious, I'd be willing to bet my paycheck China is working on it right now. Exactly what are the tech specs of such a weapon system? Your guess is probably better than mine.

You're forgetting some extremely important targets. Data centers. Power plants. Oceanic intercontinental fiberoptic cables. Water treatment plants. Strategic reserves.

Military production factories and semiconductor fabrication plants too should be on the list.

Is that a realistic scenario ? Manual input ? What if there are dozens of incoming missiles ?
