China’s New Copy of Russian Supersonic Missile Has US Pacific Fleet Worried

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


If the Black Sea plane crash turns out to be caused by electronic interception by NATO as suggested in an earlier post picking up from Prabda, it is indicative of the frustration felt by Western naval commanders and warmakers.  Russian and now Chinese anti-ship missile capability, and coastal defence capability has accelerated beyond the reach of the American and European navies.  With the missiles which can be deployed by both China and Russia, there is no prospect of easy NATO naval victories which could cut off the Russians in Crimea.  Unable to fight a conventional naval war,  Britain, America et al, are increasingly resorting to the tactics of the terrorist.  This seems a crazy strategy to be adopting, which can only backfire.  The Satanists want to trigger a nuclear war which they believe they can win.  Any other kind of war they will likely lose.  Let’s hope Trump can bring the fools to their senses and basically kick them out.

Finian Cunningham writes that the neocons’ next trick of the Neocons is an arms race.  That’s a nice idea for them, I’m sure.  The problem they might well find is that Russia and China have already left them far behind.  The Western weapons procurement industry is so corrupt that the systems cost ten times what they should cost, and they don’t work anyway.  The whole thing is a recipe for disaster on the grand scale.  Also many western military types are realising that the real enemy is not located in Moscow or Beijing, but in Washington.  Money is powerful.  That’s sure enough, but when everyone starts to realise the system is broken from top to bottom, corrupt from top to bottom, how will a people ever have the will to fight an enemy that only wants peace and to be treated as equals.

The time to wake up is now.  Trump seems to get it.  We will find out soon enough whether he does, or if he’s being steered by Kissinger to bypass Russia for now and instead focus US aggression onto China.

If the military games don’t get the results the Satanists want, that is, world domination from a single point of control – One World Government in their own hands, they will no doubt be resorting to financial and economic monstrous attacks next.   Are we ready?   TAP.  Sputnik copy and paste follows.

China’s new CM-302 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile is a variation on Russia’s Yakhont missile, and the development will worry the US as it tries to impose its authority in the Pacific region, military expert Vasiliy Kashin told Sputnik. At the Zhuhai air show earlier this month, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp (CASC) unveiled its CM-302 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile.

According to CASC, the missile system can carry a 250kg warhead and has a range of around 290 km. Traveling faster than the speed of sound, it has an accuracy rate of 90 percent.  There are only two other supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles on the market, Russia’s P-800 Onyx (Yakhont) and the joint Russian-Indian BrahMos supersonic missile, for which the P-800 served as the basis for development.  The Yakhont is capable of traveling at up to 2.6 times the speed of sound and has a 300km range. It can carry a warhead weighing up to 200kg, and can be launched from land, sea, air and submarine. The sea-skimming missile is able to fly at altitudes between 5 and 15 meters above sea level, avoiding radar and infrared detection as it approaches its target.

Chinese reporters at the Zhuhai air show were quick to call the CM-302 “the world’s best anti-ship missile.” However, military expert Vasiliy Kashin told Sputnik that while Chinese manufacturers are able to manufacture top anti-ship cruise missiles, their development lags behind rivals. “China has had real success in making supersonic anti-ship missiles, but it shows very modest capability for creating really innovation constructions in this sphere.” “China is still playing catch-up, and the supersonic missiles produced by CASC and China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation (CASIC) are modifications of the two main structures of Russian anti-ship cruise missiles,” Kashin said. “In itself, this approach is not so bad. In some ways, China has already overtaken Western countries, including the US, which has only subsonic missiles. However, Tiawan has begun production of its own Hsiung Feng III supersonic missile.” The CM-302 unveiled at the Zhuhai air show is the export version of the YJ-12 which is in service with the Chinese navy. That, in turn, was developed on the basis of Russia’s Kh-31 supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, which was the first to be able to launch from tactical aircraft.

While China has successfully developed an analogue to the Yakhont, it still lacks a rival to heavier supersonic missiles such as the Russian P-700 Granit, which can carry a 750kg warhead, or the P-1000 Vulkan, which can carry a 1,000kg warhead. “The P-700 is really a small plane weighing seven tons, which flies towards its target up to 2.5 times the speed of sound. The P-700 has its own radio-electric station and fired missiles exchange information during flight and co-ordinate their attack in order to hit the target simultaneously from different directions.” “These missiles have been repeatedly modernized and are capable of firing at land targets. Such heavy missiles are specifically designed for targeting aircraft carriers and have a range of up to 700km,” Kashin said. Russia continues with the development of its anti-ship missiles, including the Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missile which travels at five times the speed of sound and has a range of 400km. According to sources in the Russian navy, the atomic missile cruisers Admiral Nakhimov and Pyotr Velikiy will be fitted with the new equipment during the course of modernization over the next couple of years.

Russia is also extending its co-operation with India, and last month it was reported that the two countries are going to double the range of Brahmos to 600km.  Vasiliy Kashin told Sputnik that China’s rapid development of anti-ship cruise missile capability has serious consequences for the South China Sea dispute and the US’ ability to defend its interests there.  “China’s advances in missile manufacturing will have a serious impact on the military-political situation in the Pacific, in any case. It is a concern for the Americans.” “The US is well aware that as the number of Chinese supersonic missiles is increasing, as is their range. The YJ-12 can be launched from outside the maximum range of the most common American anti-aircraft missiles such as the Standard SM-2, and buying a lot of long-range missiles such as the Standard SM-6 is a huge cost, because each missile costs $4 million,” Kashin said.
