China's military has launched the first of a new class of ballistic missile submarines in what defense officials view as a major step forward in Beijing's strategic weapons program.Keep an eye on this one, folks...
The new 094-class submarine was launched in late July and when fully operational in the next year or two will be the first submarine to carry the underwater-launched version of China's new DF-31 missile, according to defense officials.
"When fully operational, it will represent a more modern, more capable missile platform," said one official familiar with reports of the new submarine.
Mark's Remarks
Yep, further credence to the "glastnostization" of their media being a smokescreen....
China is a danger....Slightly off topic of ballistic missiles, but in about ten years, as China continues modernizing, they will be the world's biggest user of fossil fuels and producer of so-called "greenhouse gases." I wonder, will the enviro-whackos be as angry with them as they have been at the United States? Just asking....
