China’s new submarine missile capable of covering the entire American continent
Beijing .. China’s newly commissioned Type 094A nuclear-powered submarine, equipped with ballistic missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles), said the South China Morning Post after, citing military sources, released on Monday 3 -5-2021.
“The Type 094A submarine is an upgraded version of the Type 094 which has managed to address one of the major noise issues, by enhancing the hydrokinetic and turbulent systems, allowing it to carry a more powerful JL-3,“ the source was quoted as saying on Sunday.
Prior to the upgrade, the submarine was only capable of firing JL-2 missiles which had a lower range and could only reach the Northeastern United States, the source said, and that has changed because the newest submarines are able to cover the entire American continent.
The newspaper also reported, citing a military expert, that the new weapon would increase China’s ability to retaliate after a nuclear strike, should warfare break out.
The new nuclear submarines, which were showcased last week as part of celebrations to mark the 72nd anniversary of the Chinese Navy, are armed with the submarine-launched JL-3 Ballistic Missile, or hornbill, the paper said.
JL-3 missile.
The JL-3 is capable of delivering several of the same warheads, including nuclear warheads as the JL-2 did.
Each JL-2 missile can be armed with a single megaton warhead that is 67 times more powerful than the Little Boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima - or three to eight times smaller than the re-entry vehicle (MIRV) that can be independently targeted at each. each warhead to strike a different target, said a Forbes report in May last year.
Macau-based military expert Antony Wong Tong said the news indicated that some technical breakthroughs had been achieved to make the JL-2 missile fit the Type 094A silo.
“The JL-3’s original design and size had to be adjusted, but the changes did not reduce its firepower and range - a significant breakthrough,“ Wong was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.
Former PLA instructor Song Zhongping did not say what type of SLBM the Type 094A missile was armed with, but it did enhance China’s second strike capability - its ability to retaliate after a nuclear strike.
“The new SLBM equipped with MIRV with a firing range of more than 10,000 km is the basic technical requirement for an upgraded Type 094 SSBN to cause nuclear deterrence,“ he said.
“China promised not to use nuclear first, but a strong SSBN fleet will help the PLA strengthen their second strike force against rivals.“
China has six Type 094 and Type 094A SSBNs and plans to build two more to replace the Type 092 SSBNs, according to the sources.
Each Type 094 submarine is capable of carrying 16 JL-3 missiles, but the upgraded Type 096 can carry 24 JL-3s, according to a Pentagon report on China’s military capabilities.
