'Carrier killer' missile to be part of World War II anniversary parade in Beijing - TomoNews

Описание: BEIJING — The Chinese military will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the victory over Japan in World War II by parading its latest military technology through Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Among the weapons to be displayed is the Dong Feng 21D "carrier killer" anti-ship ballistic missile.

According to The Financial Times, the Dong Feng 21D could be capable of traveling at up to 10 times the speed of sound. The Globe and Mail reports that the missile has an estimated range of up to nearly 4000 kilometres. It is mobile, and can be deployed from a truck mounted-launcher. Designed to take out an aircraft carrier, the missile could change the balance of military power in the Asian Pacific.

Qu Rui, a military official and deputy director of the office organizing the parade, told Reuters that all the weapons on display will be Chinese-made, and 84 percent of them will be shown for the first time.
