China tests Dongfeng missiles called "destroyers of American aircraft carriers"

Although the US has 20 times more nuclear weaponsthan China, the Trump administration is pushing for Beijing to be included in any new arms control treaties. And the past tests of two Chinese ballistic missiles were hardly ignored by Washington.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Forces have announced that they have tested two ballistic missiles during a recent exercise. One is the Dongfeng-16 short-range missile, and the other is the Dongfeng-26 medium-range missile.

The commander of the testing team said a few words for the PLA news portal 81.cn:

We are on high alert to ensure our actions are quick and accurate.

The flight range of Dongfeng-26 is about four thousand kilometers. This missile is called the "destroyer of American aircraft carriers" capable of threatening the AUG of the US naval forces in the Asia-Pacific region. Its radius of action allows it to strike at American targets on the island of Guam from the Chinese coast. The nickname stuck in China, although the missile, quite naturally, did not destroy a single aircraft carrier.

According to the PLA report, the exercise was intended to test how quickly the PRC's missile forces would be able to respond to an impending nuclear attack, including an attack from the sea.

Destroy, we don't mind. What would the child not amuse himself ...

[Ilshat]

At what distance Dongfeng-26 flew is not known?

[Mavrikiy]

A ballistic missile against an aircraft carrier 4000 km away? If only with a nuclear warhead. With the usual

[Strashila]

During the Soviet era, the R-27 rocket URAV Navy index - 4K10 START code - RSM-25 code of the US Defense Ministry and NATO - SS-N-6 Mod 1, Serb, had the R27K version, the original CM decree of April 24, 1962 on the creation of the D complex -5, it was also envisaged to create a missile with a homing warhead capable of hitting moving ships. The anti-ship version of the missile was designated R-27K (index GRAU 4K18). In the west, the missile received the SS-NX-13 index. The rocket was equipped with a second stage with a liquid propellant rocket engine developed by KB-2 (chief designer A.M. Isaev). To maintain the dimensions of the rocket, the dimensions of the first stage were reduced, which ultimately led to a decrease in the maximum firing range to 900 km. The warhead is monoblock, nuclear, with a capacity of 0,65 Mt. Guidance in the passive section was carried out using a passive radar seeker, with signal processing by an onboard digital computer system. The initial data for firing were issued by the Legenda satellite system or the Success-U aviation system. Data processing on the Kasatka ship reconnaissance equipment made it possible to determine the coordinates of a group of ships with an accuracy of up to 25 km. This data is constantly becoming outdated - during the prelaunch preparation, the target's location can change up to 150 km. Therefore, for the second stage, control was provided by means of double switching on of the propulsion system of the second stage in the extra-atmospheric flight segment. Initially, the option of additional correction of the trajectory in the atmospheric sector and equipping the rocket with a low-power warhead was also considered. But later this option was abandoned in favor of a purely ballistic, with a high-power warhead.

Colleague! Have a conscience ... well, not everything is on the site, how to put it mildly ... "gullible" who did not serve in the navy ...
Let's count. 150-25 = 125 (km) - this is the distance to which the AVM will run away, as if during the prelaunch time ... And how long does it take, based on your messages? Let's count. Let the AVM run 30,0 knots (55,5 km / h) with a stroke ...
Then: 125: 55,5 = 2, 25 hours (2 hours 15 minutes!) - this is your time PP D-5 ???
You're a joker, my friend!

The time of prelaunch preparation of 4 missiles of the D-5 complex took 30 minutes, the production of the launch of 4 missiles took 10-12 minutes. The interval between missile launches was 1,5 minutes.
Source: http://bastion-karpenko.ru/d-7-rt-15m-brpl/

For the 1st SLBM, it takes 30: 4 = 7,5 minutes, (In the Cloud it was written 12 ") Let's round up to 10 minutes. Then, during the PP and the flight, the SLBM will go to ... 5-6 km, well 10-12 km The head from 650 km altitude sees ... 150 km AUS does not have time to get out of the ellipse of the probable location of the target ... Therefore, DF-21D is quite a real threat to the AMs.
Something like this, however.

[Zaurbek]

That for 1000, that for 2000, that for 4000 .... BR does not matter. The warhead will fall and adjust in the same way. The main thing is to shoot at the desired area.

[sergey32]

The missiles are ballistic, so the trajectory is calculated for missile defense. I wonder when the Chinese will teach their BB to maneuver?

[voyaka uh]

The combat units of the BR do not maneuver. What is called maneuvering in Russia
it is a light, smooth wiggle 1-2 degrees from the main ballistic trajectory
using gas rudders.
Any sharp maneuver at a speed of 12-20 MAX will cause powerful centrifugal forces,
which will forever carry the warhead away from the target intended when aiming
on astronavigation.

[Ilshat]

During the first test, the glider reached the target with an accuracy of several meters.
After separating from the rocket, the device flew 11 kilometers in 60 minutes at an average altitude of 1400 kilometers.
The interlocutor of the publication emphasized that the DF-17 was specially designed for the prompt launch of a hypersonic glider.
According to him, the tests carried out became "the world's first test of a hypersonic glider using an operational launch system."

Depends on what.

How many kilometers is 1-2 degrees at a speed of Mach 12-20? Sorry, but this is a maneuver. There are no gas rudders, there head maneuvering is based on completely different principles.

Minus you for illiteracy. If he does not know the subject of discussion, why write that?

[Zaurbek]

Most likely, the BG speed should decrease ... otherwise there will be no accuracy for either a stationary target or a mobile one.

Don't repent. You wrote everything correctly. China is not the kind of friend you can feel like you are with ...

And forcibly they began to transfer their filthy factories from the Celestial Empire
To other places ...

[A.TOR]

Do you want to swear and insult a stranger? What for? Do you enjoy it?
I tried to allegorically remind the respected audience of the simple fact that the People's Republic of China owes a great deal to the United States for the current successes of economic development.
By the way, the USSR too, but earlier.
At one time, Mao Zedong's China "bit" the Soviet hand. Now he is trying to do the same with the US "hand".
Having quarreled with the Soviet Union, China got huge problems. The USA is not the USSR, I think that China's problems from the current quarrel will be much bigger.

Strange you, Mavrikiy, young, apparently ...

This is your professional. They are for many, even at night, to film. Beautiful, powerful, proud! ... Well old, well, rusty, well, floating barns, but at a speed of 30 knots. High road romance.

[Thrifty]

These missiles are only called by the Chinese themselves, but in fact it is an IBR against our lands! I trust the Chinese by a quarter of a percent more than Lukashenka, whom now I don’t believe at all!

[donavi49]

They have two priorities now:
The Navy - and they are now the first in the world in terms of the volume of military construction, seriously ahead of the Americans. Even tonnage. And in terms of units of the main types (destroyers, frigates, corvettes, etc.) they overtake the whole world put together.

By the way, the head UDC is already running, and it is more than what was laid in Kerch. The brother will soon run, the third is under construction

The fourth will probably be based on a modified design, with a larger UAV component and various modifications.

Destroyers are built in batches, auxiliary in batches, in general money gives a lot of exhaust.

Space - they have a very ambitious program, on a par with NASA. Current missions are just the first steps in this program. They and the AMS are going to launch into the external system of the Cassini level, and landings on the satellites of the gas giants, and their own Hubble. In general, there are a lot of things in the plans.

SV - get some money.

[Nastia makarova]

Why do they need our land ??? but what in the ground they already buy for a penny without risking anything

[Well done]

And how is it known that the United States has 20 times more weapons? As if the Chinese are telling everything. You can probably order a thermonuclear bomb from aliexpress.

[APASUS]

It has long been a tradition that the launches of such missiles precede negotiations with the Americans, American exercises, or an exacerbation of relations.

Pancake! And the BR too ... And also, the head is 2-channel (radar / IR-UV), and the control surfaces on the BB on the on-board computer are turned on ... and its speed is serious, you can immediately intercept the SM-3/6 horseradish ...
Bad luck, however ... for the Ams. This is not a bullet on the "beacons" on a non-maneuvering satellite ...
AHA.

Well, the Chinese are developing their satellite constellation, although they still have not solved the problem with the radar on this GOS. As a result, they can only attack ships that are in the base. By the way, a few years ago they themselves disavowed their statement that these missiles can hit moving targets.

You, Vitalik, are certainly not afraid of them, you are one left. Others, by the way, are not afraid of them either, but they are afraid, because such a weapon still poses a certain threat.

This is not an ICBM. The range of the DF-26 is about 4000 km. This is an intermediate-range missile, but not an ICBM

In the Gobi Desert, a new crater appeared in the painted deck of an aircraft carrier. This is where "aircraft carrier assassins" are usually fired.

since there will be nothing and no one to answer.

Material: response-oncoming is carried out after a massive missile launch by the enemy is detected and BEFORE its missiles reach their targets.
That is, with a counter-counter attack, the enemy does not have time to inflict a disarming blow, and all available missiles fly to him

Well, here the high resilience of China and the absent resilience of the United States begins to play.

And why China has high resilience, while the United States does not, maybe just the opposite. Firstly, the United States has a larger nuclear arsenal than China and a retaliatory strike from China may not work, but it may work, but it will not be effective; secondly, with a Chinese density, their demographic losses will be much greater than that of the United States , if practically not all, but many more nuances.

[Kuzmitsky]

If China and America, God forbid, begin to shoot each other with all the nuclear missiles they have, then not only them, but everyone else, including you and me, will become sick.

[Aleks2048]

According to the PLA report, the exercise was intended to test how quickly the PRC's missile forces would be able to respond to an impending nuclear attack, including an attack from the sea.

Am I interested in one or what? What exactly did the PLA write in the official report? What is the result?
In general, the article is not very ... It's a pity to put a minus nowhere ...

[Magmax]

Very sharp in precision and fast DF is truly dangerous

[Gloomy skeptic]

Well, since China has experienced - then of course! While the country buys weapons from other states, it is possible to speak seriously about its military-scientific achievements only conditionally.
According to Chinese news, they have already "won" the coronavirus three months ago - the paper will endure everything.
