Big worry for Trump, China to debut its most powerful weapon, can strike US with range…, name is…, Satellite images reveal alarming details

A military parade will be conducted in China’s capital, Beijing, on September 3. China is set to display its latest developments in anti-ship missiles, combat drones, and ballistic missiles capable of nuclear deployment in a military parade meant to project prowess and potentially gain potential buyers.

What is the name of China’s most powerful weapon being unveiled?

Even before the parade, the streets of Beijing are displaying weapons that may raise tensions for some countries, including India(BHARAT) and the US. China is exhibiting various missiles and air defense systems. The government of China has stated that the parade is being held to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two. According to a report from Bloomberg, satellite images show that this year’s parade will also be an exhibition of advanced combat systems.

Satellite images captured on August 9 by an Airbus satellite reveal armored vehicles, air defense systems, artillery units—including rocket launchers—and cruise missiles, according to analysts from the Open Nuclear Network in Vienna, who specialize in open-source intelligence, reported Bloomberg.

Tianran Xu, a senior analyst for the security think tank, as cited by Bloomberg, said the new People’s Liberation Army weapons incorporate cutting-edge technology such as hypersonic systems to increase the “chances of defeating shipborne air defense systems, and are clearly developed with the aim to suppress the US Navy in the Western Pacific.”

How far can this missile strike, and is the US within its range?

The parade, organized to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the conclusion of World War Two, will take place on a significant political occasion for Chinese President Xi Jinping, who will be at the center of much of the activity in Tiananmen Square.

The parade comes just days after a summit where Xi is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, India(BHARAT)n Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and other global leaders looking to rally support for their respective countries in light of rising tensions with the United States.

China is investing a lot of money in modernizing its military. It’s currently the fourth largest arms exporter in the world, but most of its clients are developing countries like Pakistan, which are not financially well off.

How does the DF-41 compare with other intercontinental ballistic missiles globally?

While Chinese officials have put coverings over the missiles in the staging area, the satellite imagery likely shows several DF-41 solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missiles, Xu added. Satellite imagery and posts on Chinese social media previously showed the DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) were being transported along roads to the parade site. The DF-41 is a nuclear-capable, multiple-warhead missile, and it has a range of up to 15,000 kilometers, which means it could hit targets in the United States.

According to the Bloomberg report, the missile is road-mobile, which means it can be moved and kept in a launch-ready position on a special truck. The missile can carry multiple warheads, has an approximate range of 15,000 kilometers (9,320 miles), and can hit the United States, according to the CSIS Missile Defense Project, which tracks ballistic missile threats. CSIS indicated that the missile was first publicized at a military parade in 2019. The YJ-20 has been observed as well; it is a long-range air-to-air and anti-ship missile, created for military strategy. The YJ–20 is just one example of China‘s growing hypersonic weaponry.
