China has been testing their recently-deployed DF-21 and DF-26 "aircraft-carrier killer" missiles. They're basically non-nuclear ICBMs that come straight down, from above, a battleship, dead center, at Mach 2+. It's basically a 4,000 mile hole punch for warships. The only reason nobody's really talking about them yet is because they're ambiguously running afoul of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which we're no longer part of. Also, they haven't actually been used in combat. But presumably they have enough to sink our navy twice over, and are shipped in a standard 40' shipping container. Getting in a naval battle with China may likely someday become "getting in a land war with Russia". > https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3098972/chinese-military-launches-two-missiles-south-china-sea-warning https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3098972/chi...
