As it has quite a few vector propulsion devices at various locations of its body, it is able to maneuver at various angles.<br /> <br /> Due to its low noise, it is able to hide in the complicated background of ocean noise without being detected.<br /> It has 50 torpedo launch tubes to fire conventional defense weapons, but its core weapons are 24 new-type JL-5 SLBMs, each of which carries 80 warheads including 20-35 decoys; therefore, even if lots of the SLBMs’ warheads have been intercepted, one submarine can still destroy at least 84 cities in its first strike.<br /> <br /> US satellites have found that China is building 2 Type 098 fourth-generation strategic nuclear submarines, each of which is installed with 12 sets of launching devices.<br /> <br /> There is speculation that by 2025, Chinese navy will have 3 to 4 aircraft carrier combat groups in service.<br /> By that time, the fourth-generation Type-98 strategic nuclear submarines will be the trump cards of China’s submarine fleet.<br /> <br /> In order to establish an effective nuclear second strike, great efforts shall be made in developing nuclear missile submarines. There must be 6 of them in all so that 2 of them will always be cruising at sea while the number of them will be increased to 3 at emergency. If each nuclear submarine carries 12 ICBMs with 3 nuclear warheads each, there will be a maximum of 108 nuclear warheads in one submarine to have effective deterrence against the US.<br /> <br /> Source: qianzhan.com<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Barak-8 SAM with 70 km-range </b><br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I7HvUwXXWDw" width="660"></iframe> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FM2KMsxOSP0" width="660"></iframe> <br /> <br /> <br /></div>
