2020-08-28
[SCMP] Weapon one of two sent over disputed waters a day after American spy plane reportedly nears Chinese naval drill, source says.

PLA flexes muscle in response to continued US testing of Beijing’s bottom lines, analyst says.

China launched two missiles, including an “aircraft-carrier killer”, into the South China Sea on Wednesday morning, a source close to the Chinese military said, sending a clear warning to the United States.

#8  They were able to hit a sea! Imagine the power of missiles able to hit things on the sea. I'm sure in 50 to 100 years they might be able to hit an island in the sea. Maybe

#7  I assume/hope we're collecting loads of data from this.

Yes. Thank the Chinese for displaying the new missile's capabilities before kinetic action.

#5  I find it odd they weren't launched from Nkor.
Guess the trials are over.

#3  They do understand that if they actually used it, it would be followed by a nuclear exchange. Hard to maintain the party's power in the aftermath.
