Why yes, Professor!
I concur! All we need now are lightsabers and the millennium falcon.

the trolls have arrived!
What is the PLA afraid of?
They make so much effort to "leak" secret images.
Why the drama? If you're going to tell the world about it, why rely on a bunch of anonymous and sometimes illiterate bloggers?
You complain the Indians like to talk big....the Chinese are doing exactly the same. Albeit, with no method of verification or any form of official endorsement. Its getting more ridiculous with each passing day.

China is the world leader in Regional Strike ASBM, which uses a ballistic missile to attack a moving target within 2,000 miles. Once China's ASBM has been perfected, the technology can be migrated from an IRBM-based to an ICBM-based missile for Prompt Global Strike.
Recognizing China's revolutionary technology, the United States is playing copycat and working on its version of an ICBM-based ASBM-type prototype.
From my July 9, 2010 post:
"Official confirmation that [China] has advanced to the stage of actual testing."

"China Testing Ballistic Missile "Carrier-Killer"
March 29, 2010
Last week, Adm. Robert Willard, the head of U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM), made an alarming but little-noticed disclosure. China, he told legislators, was "developing and testing a conventional anti-ship ballistic missile based on the DF-21/CSS-5 [medium-range ballistic missile] designed specifically to target aircraft carriers."
What, exactly, does this mean? Evidence suggests that China has been developing an anti-ship ballistic missile, or ASBM, since the 1990s. But this is the first official confirmation that it has advanced (.pdf) to the stage of actual testing.
If they can be deployed successfully, Chinese anti-ship ballistic missiles would be the first capable of targeting a moving aircraft-carrier (.pdf) strike group from long-range, land-based mobile launchers. And if not countered properly, this and other "asymmetric" systems - ballistic and cruise missiles, submarines, torpedoes and sea mines - could potentially threaten U.S. operations in the western Pacific, as well as in the Persian Gulf.
Willard’s disclosure should come as little surprise: China’s interest in developing ASBM and related systems has been documented in Department of Defense (.pdf) and National Air and Space Intelligence Center (.pdf) reports, as well as by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and the Congressional Research Service. Senior officials — including Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair (.pdf) and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Gary Roughead — have pointed to the emerging threat as well.
In November 2009, Scott Bray, ONI’s Senior Intelligence Officer-China, said that Chinese anti-ship ballistic missile development “has progressed at a remarkable rate.” In the span of just over a decade, he said, “China has taken the ASBM program from the conceptual phase to nearing an operational capability.… China has elements of an [over-the-horizon] network already in place and is working to expand its horizon, timeliness and accuracy.”
When someone of Bray’s stature makes that kind of statement, attention is long overdue.
Equally intriguing has been the depiction of this capability in the Chinese media. A lengthy November 2009 program about anti-ship ballistic missiles (video) broadcast on China Central Television Channel 7 (China’s official military channel) featured an unexplained — and rather badly animated — cartoon sequence. This curious 'toon features a sailor who falsely assumes that his carrier’s Aegis defense systems can destroy an incoming ASBM as effectively as a cruise missile, with disastrous results.
The full program is available in three segments (parts 1, 2, and 3) on YouTube. Skip to 7:18 on the second clip to view this strange, and somewhat disturbing, segment.
Likewise, Chinese media seem to be tracking PACOM’s statements about this more closely than the U.S. press. The graphic above is drawn from an article on Dongfang Ribao (Oriental Daily), the website of a Shanghai newspaper.
Beijing has been developing an ASBM capability at least since the 1995-96 Taiwan Strait Crisis. That strategic debacle for China likely convinced its leaders to never again allow U.S. carrier strike groups to intervene in what they consider to be a matter of absolute sovereignty. And China’s military, in an apparent attempt to deter the United States from intervening in Taiwan and other claimed areas on China’s disputed maritime periphery, seems intent on dropping significant hints of its own progress.
U.S. ships, however, will not offer a fixed target for China’s DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missiles. Military planning documents like the February 2010 Joint Operating Environment (.pdf) and Quadrennial Defense Review (.pdf) clearly recognize America’s growing “anti-access” challenge, and the QDR — the Pentagon’s guiding strategy document — charges the U.S. military with multiple initiatives to address it.
In a world where U.S. naval assets will often be safest underwater, President Obama’s defense budget supports building two submarines a year and investing in a new ballistic-missile submarine. And developing effective countermeasures against anti-ship ballistic missiles is a topic of vigorous discussion in Navy circles. The United States is clearly taking steps to prevent this kind of weapon from changing the rules of the game in the Western Pacific, but continued effort will be essential for U.S. maritime forces to preserve their role in safeguarding the global commons.

Prompt Global Strike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Prompt Global Strike (PGS) is a United States military effort to develop a system that can deliver a precision conventional weapon strike anywhere in the world within one hour[1][2] just as an ICBM can do with a nuclear warhead.
Potential scenarios that would require a fast response, currently only available in nuclear weapons, include an impending North Korean missile launch or an opportunity to strike Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan.[3] "Today, unless you want to go nuclear, it's measured in days, maybe weeks" until the military can launch an attack with regular forces, said Marine Corps General James Cartwright.[4]
System
The PGS system will be designed to complement Forward Deployed Forces, Air Expeditionary Forces (which can deploy within 48 hours) and Carrier battle groups (which can respond within 96 hours).[3] Possible delivery systems include:
• a rocket like those of existing ICBMs, launched from the United States mainland, or SLBMs
• an air-launched hypersonic cruise missile, such as the Boeing X-51
• launch from an orbiting space platform
As of 2010, the Air Force's prototype is a modified Minuteman III ICBM.[4] In March of 2011, the Air Force Major General David Scott stated that the service had no plans to use a sea or land based ICBM system for Prompt Global Strike, as they would be expensive to develop and potentially "dangerous." Instead, efforts will focus on a hypersonic glider.[5] The next day the Air Force Chief of Staff Norton Schwartz said that it was still an option.[6]
The warhead is expected to be a maneuverable vehicle, weighing some 2 tons including the payload, and be able to deliver a unitary penetrator, numerous smart munitions or even UAVs."
Why yes, Professor!
I concur! All we need now are lightsabers and the millennium falcon.
we are free to attack india haha
indians talk big about foreign weapons they have.
china actually has its own defense industry.
china can build its own weapons.
india cannot keep up.
that is hurting the huge indian ego.
ok 1st attack taiwan if u can ,then think about indiawe are free to attack india haha
ya through copying ,stealing technolgy ,& reverse enginneeringindians talk big about foreign weapons they have.
china actually has its own defense industry.
china can build its own weapons.
