China's Missile Malfunction: US Intel Reveals Rockets Filled with Water | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A US intelligence report has unveiled startling deficiencies in China's missile systems. The report says some of these missiles were found to be filled with water instead of fuel. It also claims that large missile silo fields in western China are equipped with malfunctioning lids. Apparently - the situation is so severe that it forced President Xi Jinping to initiate a purge within the army. Palki Sharma tells you more.

Is China ready for a war?
Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts

[rebeccaannsaji]

How easily do we trust Western Reports when it suits our interests. But if the same American Report has something to say about India, it becomes biased, discriminatory and a purposeful attack on the country's sovereignty. It's hard to believe anyone and any source in today's times.

[forvareacts]

How can you believe anything from the U.S. government 😂😂 .. if its filled with water, fire your shots first and you will find out😅😅😅

[krkeswani]

Perhaps the persons responsible for ensuring preparedness of the missiles and Silos don’t want war anytime soon. They may not be in sync with the boss’s expansionist ideas, having foresight that such actions could lead to disaster!!

[trooper]

So the Americans say the Chinese couldn't open a silo and then a missile was filled with water and not rocket fuel. The Americans also said there were WMD's in Iraq 🙄

[MrOkidoke]

灌水 in Chinese (pronounced "guànshuǐ) usually means "irrigation". (It's also the name of a town in Shandong Province.) But the two characters (taken separately) mean "fill" and "water". And, most importantly for your report, "灌水" is also a common Chinese idiom for "artificially increasing weight to cook the books". My guess? The person responsible for spreading the "water instead of rocket fuel" story doesn't speak Chinese. This suggests to me - an English speaker with really basic Chinese - that all the speculation about actual H2O in Chinese rockets wildly misses the mark. I suspect it's more likely that people with responsibility for China's rockets was caught "cooking the books." But using actual water to fill up rockets? My best guess is that's just poor translation.

the us media told a story which the american public doesn't believe and the firstpost put it on the headline

[SuperAdventureBros-pflq]

USA can't even find Hamas or beat the Taliban. How do you expect me to believe USA knows whats happen in China? 🤣

[N-zj]

Corruption took out a superpower & Not a world war 😂😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Americaone]

😂😂😂😂😂This is the China everyone fears😂😂😂😂😂😂

[adorablealmost]

I don't believe this nonsense, if it somebody coming up with the story, not the so-called USA!

[onlypendants]

Xi Jinping is also learning not to trust Chinese products. 😂😂

[JS-tevj]

Well, I'm not always in agreement with American reports, but judging by the ousting of such coveted generals among the Xi faction - there is a reason to this. Smoke doesn't rise where there is no fire.

[spaideman]

guess US intel didn't report why Boeing plane could drop his door during flight. made in USA?

[davidedwards]

Chinese missiles filled with water!
Russian military using washing machine chips 😂😂😂
What next??

[themaster]

Hey ..water is cheaper than fuel so they save money .🤣

[rsapwilliamso]

Why not US should ask China to test it to US territory Let's see 😅 😂😂😂

[PhilipWong]

Contrary to its literal meaning, the Chinese idiom "注水" (zhù shuǐ) does not refer to the actual act of adding water. Instead, it is used metaphorically in the context of finance and business to criticize deceptive practices such as inflating financial figures or manipulating information to create a false appearance of success. The CIA needs better Chinese language AI translators. This highlights the incompetence of the CIA when they release this type of information to the mass media without proper fact-checking.

It will be astonishing if the Chinese can use nuclear fusion on heavy water (deuterium oxide) as fuel to power their missiles. The deuterium in 7 liters of heavy water will provide enough energy to propel SpaceX Starship using nuclear fusion. That amount of energy is equivalent to 13kt of TNT, the same amount of energy as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima by the US.

Heavy water is 11.17% heavier than normal water. Heavy water is used as a moderator in certain types of nuclear reactors.
