China’s military has now reportedly set up elaborate mock-ups of a US aircraft carrier and US destroyers at one of its target ranges in the Chinese desert. The mock-ups are suspected to be used as target practice for China’s new line of anti-ship ballistic missiles.
As USNI news reports:
The Chinese military has built targets in the shape of an American aircraft carrier and other U.S. warships in the Taklamakan desert as part of a new target range complex, according to photos provided to USNI News by satellite imagery company Maxar.
The full-scale outline of a U.S. carrier and at least two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are part of the target range that has been built in the Ruoqiang region in central China. The site is near a former target range China used to test early versions of its so-called carrier killer DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missiles, according to press reports in 2013.
This new range shows that China continues to focus on anti-carrier capabilities, with an emphasis on U.S. Navy warships. Unlike the Iranian Navy’s aircraft carrier-shaped target in the Persian Gulf, the new facility shows signs of a sophisticated instrumented target range.
…
China has several anti-ship ballistic missile programs overseen by the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force. The land-based CSS-5 Mod 5 (DF-21D) missile has a range of over 800 nautical miles. It has a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MaRV) to target ships. The larger CSS-18 (DF-26) has a range of around 2,000 nautical miles.

The report comes as tensions between the US and China continue to mount over the latter’s claims of sovereignty over Taiwan and the South China sea.
Get ready for the next big war. Keep buying that cheap Chinese crap from Walmart, though.
OBiden can be pushed around by China. They know him as the ‘Chicken in Chief’.
It is chicken in thief! You know the usurper in thief in the outhouse. He is “chief” of nada.
If and when the ChiComs decide to push the button, we can only hope and pray that we have a REAL president instead of that gutless, doddering old fool, Joe Depends. A REAL president who will turn Peking into a great smoking hole without apology. Damn the UN, full speed ahead!
If it happens right now we can just bend over and kiss our ass goodbye
I bet China don’t have any whistle blower Generals.
👌 if they do, finally/actually, take-out the “DC-swamp” with a missile-strike…won’t they be doing the country a favor❓
Don’t forget Costco they have 8 super cargo ships that only travel to China and back constantly
🗣WTF is it going to take before you “We The Idiots” pull your heads out of your Asses and realize we are already at war with China and every product we buy from China supports their war efforts against the US!🤔💭🏁
LISTEN UP…..GOD’S METEORS Can OUTDO Any WEA PON on HIS PLANET EARTH. Just ASK the DINOSAURS. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
The morons are copying Iran in attempting to be threatening. These vermin are brave when running over unarmed students with tanks.
OK, but the next time I go to the firing range, I’m going to ask for a target sheet featuring Exie Jing-Ping.
Here we go again with the Media trying to Gin up some Fear!
It isn’t biden, he can’t wipe his pown ass . I am not saying he is innocent. He has been a pedo/racist/corru[t piece of shit his whole life.His bosses are running the show just like they did with obama. The goal to take America down and now is their best chance.
