In a rare move, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force displayed 10 DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missiles in a recent video, as China reaffirmed the weapon's capability of attacking medium- to large-sized vessels.

The 10 DF-21D missiles can be seen erected into launch positions in a promotional video of the PLA Rocket Force, Weihutang, a column on the military affiliated with China Central Television, reported on Wednesday.

This type of weapon can serve as a trump card in naval asymmetrical combat, as it is capable of attacking medium- to large-sized vessels from land, the report said.

It is rare to see so many DF-21Ds gathered together, and 10 could be enough to do serious damage to a hostile aircraft carrier, military observers said.

Together with the DF-21D, China's DF-26 ballistic missile can reach targets even further at sea, according to reports.

The Weihutang report came after an unidentified flying object was spotted across multiple Chinese provinces on Sunday, as the PLA Rocket Force and Navy hinted on Monday evening that it may have been a Chinese submarine-launched ballistic missile test.

Analysts said that both events are demonstrations of China's strategic deterrence capability and determination to safeguard territorial integrity amid recent US military provocations in the Taiwan Straits and the South China Sea.

So, China's plan is to overcome USA carriers with numbers - interesting

China will have at least 10 combat ready aircraft carriers before the year 2048 and will have at least 4 combat ready aircraft carriers before the year 2024 and 8 type 055 destoyer before 2021.

China can do it. Without even a single successful test, DF 21 is a US carrier killer. Paper CX 1 was better than Brahmos. etc. All chines missiles best in the world since day when when the picture is published.

Nothing is wrong. The only difference is that those hidden Mirages can reach Balakot, deliver payload to uproot trees and kill cows and come back. These paper missiles can not fly.

We can use paper to win a war with India coz india is even weaker than paper.
We use 30.000 PLA soldiers and defeated and truely scared those 300 000 indian soldiers. And all indians have are: ehhhh, we are not ready for that time , and we are no more in 1962.
True, today is a different world where China has JL-3 missles of 12000 to 14000 kms for nuclear submarine along with DF-41 ICBM of 12000kms to 14000kms.

Your "violent fire" missile may be able to attack Beijing, but we will ensure that Indians will be extinct!
Try your so called Forward Policy one more time, will you!

That is a very serious and impressive achievement by the People's Republic of China. It is hoped that China will follow through it's manufacturing power, with rigorous training of naval combat personnel and establish an unrelenting, qualitative logistics and maintenance regimen. In war, there are no absolutes expect being prepared, trained, flawless tactics, high moral and loyalty.

China has the admiration of it's friends, neighbors and allies.

If something is not public knowledge it never means that it do not exist ...

When was blackbird was first revealed?
When did US released F117 existence?
When did Pakistan acquired the nuclear missile technology and when did they declared hot test? and what about details of several cold tests ?

Your immature post clearly shows you know nothing about weapon technologies and specially the way China is operating and performing tests ...
