China sparks panic after launching new deadly missile that can 'sink aircraft carriers'

China has reportedly been testing an anti-ship ballistic missile which could be capable of sinking aircraft carriers in one hit.A clip posted by the People’s Liberation Army (PLAN) on April 16 has led military experts to theorise that the communist state could have developed a whole new missile known as the YJ-21.In the clip, a strange missile can be seen being fired from the Chinese warship Wuxi, which is a guided-missile cruiser.The Wuxi is thought to be China’s biggest and most technologically advanced destroyer.Most experts who have studied the footage of the launch believe that the new missile is an anti-ship missile.If this is true, it would mean the Chinese government have military technology that no other country on Earth possesses.

It's not just China flexing its muscles of mass destruction though. America has also recently shown off its ability to destroy enemy warships by blasting a cargo ship out of the sea, as the threat of World War Three looms large with Russia's aggression in Ukraine.The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Eglin Air Force Base's Integrated Test Team demonstrated what they describe as a new low-cost, air-delivered capability for defeating maritime threats last Thursday (April 28).The showcase in the Gulf of Mexico successfully destroyed a full-scale surface vessel causing it to break in half and sink.While torpedoes predominantly sink enemy ships via submarines, new methods explored through the QUICKSINK program may achieve anti-ship lethality with air-launched weapons, including modified 2,000-pound JDAM precision-guided bombs.To stay up to date with all the.
