China mobilizes its supersonic nuclear missile that ‘could reach US territory’ after admiral urged Beijing to sink two American aircraft carriers to safeguard South China Sea

  • Nuclear-capable DF-26 missile is Beijing’s top weapon against Washington
  • It has been mobilised by the Rocket Force, according to Chinese state media
  • The move is in response to a U.S. destroyer that sailed into South China Sea
  • A retired admiral has urged Beijing to sink two American aircraft carriers 

Beijing has reportedly mobilised its supersonic nuclear missile DF-26 after a U.S. destroyer earlier this week sailed into the disputed waters in South China Sea.

The medium-to-long-range missile, also known as Dongfeng-26, is capable of reaching the U.S. territory and sink aircraft carriers, according to previous reports from China.

The news came after a retired Chinese admiral recently urged that Beijing should sink two American aircraft carriers and kill some 10,000 American sailors to intimidate Washington amid trade war tensions and territorial disputes.

DF-26 is reportedly capable of reaching the U.S. territory and sink aircraft carriers. The missiles are seen participating in a military parade at Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 2015

DF-26 has been billed as the ‘Guam Killer’ by Chinese media as it’s said to be capable of reaching Guam, a U.S. territory about 2,000 miles away from the Chinese coast.

The missile was developed and built solely by Chinese engineers and was commissioned to the Rocket Force of People’s Liberation Army last April, according to People’s Daily Online.

China’s Central Television Station claimed that DF-26 was capable of carrying nuclear warheads and striking ‘important targets on land and medium-to-large ships at sea with precision’.

The state broadcaster hailed the nuclear missile as Beijing’s top weapon against the United States. …..more here
