While we are focused on North Korea, their overlords in China have been busy. The PLA  has modified their DF-21 Missile as an Air Craft Carrier killer.

Report: Chinese Develop Special “Kill Weapon” to Destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers

With tensions already rising due to the Chinese navy becoming more aggressive in asserting its territorial claims in the South China Sea, the U.S. Navy seems to have yet another reason to be deeply concerned.

After years of conjecture, details have begun to emerge of a “kill weapon” developed by the Chinese to target and destroy U.S. aircraft carriers.

First posted on a Chinese blog viewed as credible by military analysts and then translated by the naval affairs blog Information Dissemination, a recent report provides a description of an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) that can strike carriers and other U.S. vessels at a range of 2000km.

The range of the modified Dong Feng 21 missile is significant in that it covers the areas that are likely hot zones for future confrontations between U.S. and Chinese surface forces.

China is not a friend of America and is not to be trusted. the DF-21 is actually a Intermediate Ballistic Missile. They have now transformed it into a long range guided Missile. I do not trust China and we should not let our guard down with them. Just because they are connected with us economically doesn’t mean they would not pull the trigger.
