China’s Missile Test in the Pacific to Show its Might | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The launch sparked protests from other countries in the region, with nations expressing "serious concern" about Beijing's military build-up. So why did China carry out this test? Is Beijing just flexing its military muscles? Palki Sharma tells you.

This Hindu woman Palki has such a shallow view as she had no knowledge on missile warfare. This DF missile uses solid fuel that means it can be mobilized and launched within 5 minutes. This Chinese ICBM performed a full range test of 12, 000km under the guidance of China's most advanced Beidou Satellite Navigation System. That missile can carry 10 warheads for 10 targets. What this Hindu woman Palki didn't want to tell was that the US ICBM the Minuteman III is 50 year old and has been problem prone during several recent tests. So if Chinese radar detected US missiles on preemptive nuclear strike are on their way to China, Chinese ICBM can be employed immediately for the second strike capability to destroy the US mainland completely. Palki Sharma just couldn't understand that as there is no logic in her Hindu mind.

At least China tested their ICBM on pacific ocean rather than testing it on countries like Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Japan, Syria, Yemen etc. like what US did.

[bichchan]

I'm not Chinese mainland but I'm proud to be Chinese . Born as Chinese, you always Chinese no matter where you at.

[Aftermath-News]

A day without Jealousy towards china is a day wasted---India

[yunjuyishi]

This will make US become a peace loving country 😂😂😂

[montezking]

You should be China brother instead of bowing to the crown that colonized your land, have China ever colonized India?

[YangLeeZhao]

Just 5 years ago, anyone would laugh if you told them Chinese cars would dominate the world with their high quality and affordable prices 😂😂😂😂 today, major international car brands are all scared to death of Chinese EVs 😂😂😂😂 think of what China can do in other manufacturing and high-tech fields in the next 5 years 😂😂😂😂

[realgood]

australia is demanding an explanation lmfao funniest joke i've heard all day

[yttean]

She said, " China is making trouble again" China Does not make threats to any country, doesn't partake in any proxy war, or even not being a nuisance to any country, but just by launching a missile to a NO man's land/sea and NO ONE is hurt. Is that what you call making trouble?

[kolviczd]

DF 41 is equipped with 10 nuclear warheads, each warhead is 10 times more powerful the Nagasaki Atom Bomb, the missiles has a range of upto 15, 000 KM which mean it can hit anywhere in the world including all of US, it be can be launch from anywhere (mobile launcher) making it difficult to detect through the likes of satellites etc, it is solid fuel and thus it can be launch very quickly without warning and it is likely to be AI enable soon. So in short, the next World War will not be fun for anyone unlike the previous two where USA was safe due to vast ocean isolating them from the rest of the world. The best for everyone is not to start the war in the first place. USA are you listening??

Take it easy, 3rd brother, it is not for you."New"Delhi is not that far...Love from China.

This is actually a friendly competition between the five UN permanent security council members.
1. France: one recent test on November 18, 2023 SLBM, successful.
2. UK: one recent test on January 30, 2024 SLBM, failed.
3. Russia: multiple recent tests - February 2023 Sarmat ICBM, successful; September 19 2024 ICBM, failed.
4. USA: multiple tests - September 6, 2023 Minuteman III ICBM, successful; November 1, 2023, failed; June 4, 2024, successful.
5. China: one intercontinental test after 44 years - September 25, 2024 ICBM, successful (12, 000km range).

[PlaYer-snor]

DF 41 can carry 10 nuclear warheads, not 3.

[lake-jn]

The test is DF31AG, not DF41, but the speed also reached Mach 25, any defense system can not intercept, can carry 12 3 million ton class nuclear warheads, each equivalent to the equivalent of Hiroshima atomic bomb 300 times, 20 minutes to reach New York, within 30 minutes can hit the whole earth, China has the updated DF41 and DF51, the power is several million tons, each can destroy a medium-sized country, and the United States and Russia have failed to test, only China has succeeded once.

Over the last four years and still ongoing, Indian news outlets have repeatedly stated that India is significantly ahead of China, always pushing the narrative 'India wins, China loses.' So what better way to prove this narrative than at the world's largest sporting event (2024 Olympics). It’s the perfect opportunity for India to showcase their country's progress and human development. All of China’s finest athletes will be there, as well as India’s best, competing alongside the world’s greatest at the highest level. The event will be broadcast globally, with eyes focus on India and China as they compete. So, did India easily win as they claimed they would? Of course not—India lost to China 0 - 40 and India lost to Hong Kong, China 0 - 2.

Olympic success is often a reflection of a country's growth and human development. If a nation such as India lacks infrastructure, training facilities, proper nutrition, and access to basic needs like food and water, it will very well likely perform poorly in the Olympics. Looking at India's extremely poor performance in the 2024 Olympics, it is now crystal clear that India isn't growing or developing at all, and India's economy is not the 5th largest as they have boasted, but rather closer to their bottom-of-the-ladder Olympic ranking of 71.

Fake women or negative propaganda by this lady😂

1. China = 37
2. USA = 7
3. UK = 0
4. Germany = 0
5. Japan = 0

The main difference between China and India:
When China plans something, the world would know about it once it has been completed.
When India plans something, the whole world would know about it even before it starts 😂

The main difference between China🇨🇳 and India🇮🇳 :
Indian leaders are busy with words while Chinese leaders are busy with actions


🇨🇳 : economic super power
🇮🇳 : population super power

[ninglu]

Before you said that China’s missiles are filled with water? What are you worried about? 😂
