Coming successful PLA anti-ship ballistic missile demonstration?
I wanted to leave a very complex thought question to discuss regarding the Chinese anti-ship ballistic missile.
What will be the ramifications of a successful PLA anti-ship ballistic missile demonstration? You can take any approach you want to the answer: regional, political, domestic in China, domestic in the US, or internal to the DoD? It is one thing to say the DoD has noted the development of a weapon in its annual report, but a successful demonstration against a moving target in the South China Sea is going to send shockwaves across the Navy.
I think it will be like ÐПÑÑПк-1, except I don't know what the equivalent of Alan Shepard on Freedom 7 a month later will be.
