China simulates hypersonic missile attack on US fleet: Secret lab claims warships can be wiped out using three low-flying satellites to jam radar - and only 28 would be needed for a GLOBAL ASSAULT
[Daily Mail, where America get its news]
  • Researchers in China claim they have carried out a successful simulated strike on a US aircraft carrier using satellites to hide missiles' approach
    Winning in a simulation is so much easier than the real thing...
  • Paper published in the Chinese journal Shipboard Electronic Countermeasures claimed they would need 28 low-orbit satellites to launch a global strike

In a research paper published in the Chinese journal Shipboard Electronic Countermeasures in December, scientist Liu Shichang described a computer-simulated attack on the US fleet.

The team launched missiles at a US aircraft carrier from 750 miles away and used low-flying satellites to block the ship's radars, so it couldn't detect the missiles until they were just 30 miles away.

Based on the study, they concluded that three satellites would be enough to attack an aircraft carrier group, while just 28 satellites would enable a 'global strike', according to the South China Morning Post.

Liu wrote: 'Commanding height has always been a pivotal tactic in war since ancient times.

Liu works at the secretive Science and Technology on Electronic Information Control Laboratory.

According to the South China Morning Post, the lab works on electronic warfare equipment for the Chinese military, under the state-owned China Electronics Technology Group Corporation.
