Sitting dreaming of having the world in its grasp, China has started increasing its weapons rapidly. These days Dragon is rapidly increasing its missile capability. Recent satellite images show that China is building more than 100 new silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles in a desert near the northwest city of Yumen. A silo is a type of storage container in which long-range missiles are kept.
Intercontinental ballistic missiles have a very long range. These missiles are capable of attacking from one continent to another. In these, ballistic missiles take off from their launch sites and while traveling in space, successfully destroy the target. These missiles can attack with conventional and nuclear weapons. China has lethal missiles like DF-5 and DF-41, which are capable of hitting America. This is the reason why defense analysts say that the US should negotiate arms with China.
US does not have enough air defense to deal with Chinese missiles
It is feared about these preparations from China that in the coming days it will use missiles as the main weapon to increase its firepower and dominate the enemies. China has many such deadly missiles, from which America can be easily targeted. In such a situation, America is also not going to get rest. A senior US general himself admitted that he still does not have enough air defense to shoot down Chinese missiles in the air.
China is building silos at 119 sites
According to the report of the American newspaper Washington Post, researchers from the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in California resorted to satellite images. Through this, he discovered that work is going on to build these silos at several desert sites spread over hundreds of square kilometers across the region in the north-west of China. Researchers have located 119 of the construction sites where China is building new facilities to launch its ballistic missiles.
China has increased its arsenal of weapons
According to the Washington Post report, if China completes the construction of more than 100 missile silos, then it will also lead to a significant increase in China’s nuclear capability. It is believed that China currently has a stockpile of 250 to 350 nuclear weapons. In such a situation, China will build more silos to protect these missiles. There. China has already deployed decoy silos.
