U.S. naval planners are scrambling to deal with what analysts say is a game-changing weapon being developed by China: an unprecedented carrier-killing missile called the Dong Feng 21D that could be launched from land with enough accuracy to penetrate the defenses of even the most advanced moving aircraft carrier at a distance of more than 900 miles.

Analysts say final testing of the missile could come as soon as the end of this year, though questions remain about how fast China will be able to perfect its accuracy to the level needed to threaten a moving carrier at sea.

I wish Iran had technology like this. If Iran had nukes and missles like this all this talk of possibly invading them would not be going on at all. Nukes prevent war, Period. This will hopefully keep us from meddling over in china, I am not hopeful though.

The Russians came out with a new one that can do a carrier or a town. It comes neatly packed in a standard 40 foot shipping container.

I think it was called something like... Oh here it is.

Never trust anything you read in the MSM - ever! It's all a charade. We are never told anything remotely resembling the truth.

Weapons far more troubling have been developed decades ago. These are electromagnetic and are not talked about. 30 years ago USA and Russia had them, think how widespread they must be now.

As I understand it the Cambodian conflict was a complete cover for the real events that were taking place over there, just like today "al qaeda" is a cover and excuse for what is really going on.
