China has successfully tested two short-range conventional missiles designed to take out enemy communications systems, state media reported on Saturday.
According to state broadcaster China Central Television, the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force recently tested two new missiles that can overcome “complex electromagnetic interference” to destroy facilities in a “fast-reaction” operation.
“[The missiles] successfully hit the target in an enemy camp equipped with multilayer defences several hundred kilometres away and effectively paralysed the enemy’s key communications node,” CCTV reported.
In a rare move, the broadcaster aired footage from the drills in the northwest of the country and said the missiles had expanded the PLA’s combat and defensive capabilities.
