China has an automated cruise missile factory that can produce over 1000 missiles a day working in 3 shifts according to CCTV Chinese media. China’s large military industrial capacity is likely to sustain a war effort for much longer than its adversaries. : It’s 1000 cruise missile “components“ not completed missiles, but that doesn’t really say where the choke point is, there could be other factories limited to churning 500 X components, or there could be multiple factories making 5000 X components. My personal assessment is it’s more credible than not, because this is close to the smash to win button for 1st island chain, i.e. anything within 1500km. PRC is good at value engineering, these missiles don’t have to be high reliability ordnances. This isn’t US who has to spend billions in logistics just to hoof weapons into theatre, so need to engineer for low dud rates. I wouldn’t be surprised if these are like low 6 digit cheap or less when produced at scale involved, maybe even ... Source: Canal Falando De Guerra
