A country’s “nuclear triad” of weapons systems should be made up of ground-based ballistic missiles (ICBM) launched from under surface vessels and long-range bombers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strategic aircraft have an important role for China as China’s military and political leadership believes it should control and dominate half of the Pacific Ocean (West\/East Asia) to obtain early warning and choice of quick strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the information that has been seen so far, the Hong-20 is expected to have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- It will be able to carry a payload of 45 tons, including nuclear missiles.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- It will be designed to penetrate deep into anti-aircraft and anti-missile defenses and attack targets even with nuclear weapons.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- It will be able to fly long distances without refueling in the air (range 7500 miles).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- It has nothing to do with PLAAF’s (People’s Liberation Army Air Force) conventional air systems to date, which can cover \u2013 based on their range \u2013 areas as far as Japan, the South China Sea and the Philippines. The Hong-20 can fly beyond the middle of the Pacific Ocean.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
- In such a case, China would be able to deal the first blow to the us-made bases not only near the South China Sea but also Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
