China demonstrated a ballistic missile attack on a model of an American aircraft carrier in the Xinjiang desert. The footage of the tests was published by the state television channel CCTV. Apparently, the DF-26B anti-ship ballistic missile, known as the "aircraft carrier killer", was used to hit the target. This is a modification of the Dongfeng-26 medium-range missile, capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 5,000 kilometers and carrying both a conventional and nuclear warhead. China has been using full-size models of US warships to test missile weapons for several years. Replicas of US Navy aircraft carriers and destroyers were previously discovered at the test site in the Taklimakan desert. Several targets are placed on railway platforms to simulate the movement of ships. Video not loading? Look at Mach!
