SCMP: China releases footage of ‘Guam killer’ DF-26 ballistic missile in ‘clear message to the US’
* Next-generation missile with improved stability and accuracy launched during military exercise
* Analyst says it’s a bid ‘to reinforce the notion that the PLA has the capability to sink US carriers and inflict unacceptable damage on American forces’
China has revealed footage of its next-generation Dongfeng-26 ballistic missile showing improved stability and accuracy, a move analysts say aims to send a message to the United States about its military strength.
Footage of the missile was released for the first time in a report on state broadcaster CCTV, amid intensifying military rivalry between China and the US.
Four fin-like flight control surfaces are seen around the missile nose in the report on an exercise in northwest China. The People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force launched at least one DF-26 missile during the drill.

I Remember when the Exocet missile was developed in France. One claim was that it could sink a carrier as tests showed that when it came straight down from on high on a carrier, whose carrier they tested it on I don't know, it penetrated several decks 3 or 4 so that when it exploded it did a lot of damage.
If they sank a carrier and that's a big if it would cost them over 500 billion dollars in exports a year. That's not counting any other measures the United States could take. Such as deporting all Chinese Nationals including students. A total naval blockage would be much more likely I think. Their economy would will on the vine. It would be financial suicide.
That's for sure Jeff. I guess it would be smart to not destroy China's economy.
