Chinese admiral warns Beijing missiles could sink U.S. aircraft carriers

The video discusses the Dongfeng 21D and Dongfeng 26 missiles, known as 'aircraft carrier killers.' The Dongfeng 21D is a ballistic missile with a range of 800 nautical miles and a speed of Mach 10, designed to target aircraft carriers. The Dongfeng 26, a more advanced missile, has a range of 2200 nautical miles and is equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle, allowing it to maneuver and evade detection. This missile can penetrate advanced air defense systems and has a greater range than U.S. Navy fighters, posing a strategic challenge to carrier strike groups.

What is the primary purpose of the Dongfeng 21D missile?

• To intercept enemy aircraft

• To launch satellites

• To destroy aircraft carriers

• To provide air defense

What is the range of the Dongfeng 26 missile?

• 1500 nautical miles

• 3000 nautical miles

• 2200 nautical miles

• 800 nautical miles

What feature makes the Dongfeng 26 missile difficult to track?

• Its slow speed

• Its high altitude trajectory

• Its hypersonic glide vehicle

• Its large size

How does the Dongfeng 26 missile evade advanced air defense systems?

• By deploying decoys

• By maneuvering on a low altitude trajectory

• By using stealth technology

• By flying at high altitudes

Why would a carrier strike group need to enter the Dongfeng 26's range before launching an attack?

• Because the missile is slow to deploy

• Because the missile requires visual confirmation

• Because the missile can only be launched from close range

• Because the missile has a longer range than U.S. Navy fighters
