THE LORD HAS OPENED HIS ARMOURY

Also in development is the Ju-

lang-2 (JL-2), a submarine-

launched version of the DF-31 that

would be deployed in 2007-10.

Beijing plans to build five to sev-

en Jin-class (Type 094) nuclear-

powered subs, each of which

A JL-2 being serviced will carry up to 16 JL-2s.

Experts say the DF-31A family represents a quantum leap in Chinese
ICBM capability. One expert said "the DF-31A will throw a monkey

wrench into Washington's decision-making process when there is a crisis
in the Pacific."

Chinese Test Anti-Satellite Weapon

January 18, 2007 :: Aviation Week & Space Technology :: News

Aviation Week & Space Technology reports that China has successfully
performed an anti-satellite (ASAT) test at
an altitude around 500 miles. The test re-
portedly took place on January 11, with
an aging Chinese weather satellite being
destroyed. The satellite, designated FY-
1C, was reportedly targeted with a kinetic
kill vehicle launched on board a ballistic
missile. A cloud of debris reportedly ex-
ists in the satellite's prior orbit. The ca-
pability to destroy space-based systems
is a significant one, given the extent the United States depends upon
such systems.
