US-China relations: shooting down of mock ICBM was warning to Beijing, observers say

[Fawadqasim1]

Iran needs long-range intercontinental missiles because its enemy is the United States. Pakistan only needs medium range missiles or short-range rockets to attack India.

Friend, it's like to shoot a lion in a hunt you need a sniper gun, but to shoot a cockroach in front of you, you just need to pick up your shoes.

Bro we need the apogee/speed/payload of a heavy lifter to defeat indian ABMs they are developing hypersonic missiles.

What about pakistan

Yes. If Pakistan developed ICBM, USA would try to destroy it. So Pakistan needs improved technology on its ICBM to protect itself.

This carrier-killer missile saga is a fool's errand to convenience the Chinese itself that if they say it often enough, it will be accepted as the truth.

My friend, about 30 years ago, Saudi Arabia purchased 35 dongfeng-3a land-based medium range ballistic missiles with a range of 2800 km from China,

with a total price of US $3.6 billion (including a complimentary nuclear warhead). Maintenance requires Chinese soldiers to go to Saudi Arabia for maintenance (all costs are borne by Saudi Arabia), and half of the launch keys remain in China.

Land based medium range ballistic missiles were already so expensive 30 years ago, and the later Dongfeng 21b land-based mobile medium range ballistic missiles were even more frightening. (Saudi Arabia tried to buy this about 10 years ago, according to some unconfirmed information, the total price was 60 billion US dollars and the 23 year oil supply contract, missiles provided by China and nuclear Warhead provided by Pakistan military ). The distance from Islamabad to the southernmost tip of India is only about 3200 km, and to Jerusalem is only 4400 km, both of which are less than the 5000 km range of Dongfeng 21 with the new warhead installed. Since medium range missiles can cover most major cities in India. Intercontinental missiles, which are heavy in weight, cannot be launched by mobile launch vehicles, but need to be launched from missile wells that cannot be moved (which means that they are easy to detect by satellites and difficult to be quickly transferred when attacked by the enemy). At the same time, intercontinental missiles are not as flexible as medium range missiles (dongfeng-21d adopts a cutting-edge technology, that is, missile guided missile borne computer, which can perform several maneuvering orbit changes before hitting the target, and automatically evade all types of air defense missiles and shells). The speed of intercontinental missiles is not as fast as that of medium range missiles (the dive speed of the warhead end of Dongfeng 21 is 12240 km / h), and the maintenance is particularly troublesome, but the weight and power of nuclear warheads that can be carried are the same as thermonuclear weapons of 1 million tons TNT equivalent, so why buy intercontinental missiles which are more expensive and more difficult to maintain ?

As friends, we Chinese hope that the Pakistani people can get a better life through trade and hard work. India's enemy is not only your country, you are not fighting alone.

Time for sell some ICBM technology to Iran and North Korea!

Don't try.... you are sort of landlocked country with USA sitting just next to you along with allies, islands chain, upcoming QUAD and India sitting on the choke points of malacca..... this is the reason you are so desperate for land routes through Pakistan..... anyways Iran doesn't need you as they are self sufficient and USA won't let you ship it to Iran either.....
BTW what happened to your October surprise?? Its November end we are reaching....
