China has shown off its latest nuclear-capable missile billed as ‘Guam Killer’ that could allegedly take down ships in US territory.
A clip from its state broadcaster today shows the warheads being paraded in rows at the Rocket Force, a part the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) which handles the country’s growing missile arsenal.
Although China’s state broadcaster didn’t specify the model of the missile, Chinese reporters claimed it’s DF-26, a medium-to-long-range missile that could travel at supersonic speeds.
The missile is also said to be able to reach Guam, a US territory about 2,000 miles away from the Chinese coast.
The missile has been developed and built solely by Chinese engineers and was commissioned to the PLA Rocket Force today, according to People’s Daily Online which cited a clip from state broadcaster CCTV.
The news clip claimed that the missile is capable of carrying nuclear warheads and striking ‘important targets on land and medium-to-large ships at sea with precision’.
CCTV also said the missile is Beijing’s trump card in military strategy.
