Chinese cruise and anti-ship missiles
- Thread starter crobato
- Start date
We read & hear nothing but preparation for War and hostilities by the major powers with new weapons, missiles etc. Introduced. It is real unfortunate as the people will suffer, in fact if there is a WAR nuclear weapons will be used which means total destruction of countries. Important to talk TRADE & DIPLOMACY & not being belligerent or lying or inconsistent. NO country can win in a nuclear war. May 2020 & beyond be a Peaceful Year for all people & countries. “PEACE & GOODWILL TO ALL” (hopefully if possible).
Much too big and far too low wing aspect ratio to be a cruise missile - I'd say it was a study into a Pegasus XL satellite launcher counterpart.
Did the Chinese found this and decided to try and build a similar missile themselves to see if it actually work or if it is Boeing's bullshit?
damned - guys where is this??? It was a former DF-3 facilityDF-26.

Who knows. Seems like the nosecone and leading edges is one way to design for hypersonic cruise missile intakes. May be using scramjets which take over for propulsion once the rocket booster drops away after delivering to appropriate altitude and speed. Could just be converging engineering like what we see with HGVs, at least when it comes to artist renderings of various kinds of HGVs from Russia, China, and the US. From the comparisons of the Xing Kong test, it seems the DF-100 is actually a version of that or at least something that shares its overall shaping. The DF-100 has extended stabilisers/wing roots and seems to have those scramjet/ramjet intakes similar in layout with the Russian Kh series.
