China announces how it will fight the US fleet
Tan Weihong, Commander of China’s Second Artillery Force says, “Conventional missiles are a trump card in modern warfare. So we must be ready at any time. We must be able to deliver a quick response to attacks, hit the targets with high accuracy, and destroy them totally. Of the 114 missiles [our brigade] has launched so far, all have accurately hit the target.”
Can anyone verify all 114 have accurately hit the target? (Unless the PLA considers planet Earth to be the target. Then I’ll believe the claim :p )

Will they ” Fight them on the Beaches ” & ” Fight them on the Landing grounds” & will they ” Never surrender” ??

It seems to me that if you have a 100% hit rate in testing, the tests are too easy, and you will not learn anything from them. However, this sort of thing appeals to the communist desire that reality should always match party rhetoric. Keep up production in the tractor factory comrade!

No mention of the US in the referred China Daily article. What a ridiculously tabloid article title.

Rather a meaningless claim, without details.

That reminds of me of the claims of AIM-120 hit rate 🙂
